Amazon profits skyrocket in first three months of 2021
Amazon’s profit skyrocketed in the first three months of 2021 – coming in at $8.1bn – more than triple what it was in the same period in 2020.
Amazon is among the businesses that have massively benefited from global lockdowns and restrictions.
Since the start of the pandemic, Amazon has posted four consecutive record quarterly profits, gained more than 200 million Prime loyalty subscribers and employed more than 500,000 people to keep up with the demand.
