Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos apparently didn't waste too much time before signing the $250 million Washington Post deal in 2013.

Although it was one of the largest acquisitions he's ever done at the time, Bezos says he didn't do any due diligence and just accepted the first offer that came from Don Graham, the former owner of the Washington Post, according to a profile by Fortune's Adam Lashinsky.
