Amazon\u2019s shares have risen above $1,000 for the first time, marking a new milestone for the company and highlighting how powerful e-commerce businesses can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only are shares likely to push even higher, but Amazon\u2019s stock is also up almost 40 percent from the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are an estimated 80 million Prime subscribers in the U.S, which is an increase 38 percent from a year earlier, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. <\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos is now the world\u2019s second wealthiest person, behind only Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAmazon is worth far more than $1,000 a share,\u201d said Cuban, an Amazon investor. \u201cConsumers always want things at lower prices delivered faster.
