Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Chamath Palihapitiya really likes Amazon.
Palihapitiya, CEO of venture-capital fund Social Capital, believes that Amazon will be a $3 trillion company a decade from now.
To put that into perspective, the company currently has a share price of around $673 and a market capitalization of $312 billion.
That means Palihapitiya is talking about the company's value increasing almost as much as 10 times.
Palihapitiya said that the company's retail business will be worth $1 trillion as of 2025 and its Amazon Web Services business will be worth $1.5 trillion. And there is another $0.5 trillion in the magic that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos brings to the company.
On the retail side, Palihapitiya said that the business is growing Prime memberships at such a rate that it will explode over the next 10 years.
Palihapitiya then said that if you use Costco's current multiple, that business looks to be worth around $1 trillion.
He called AWS a tax on the internet and innovation. Since all internet-based companies need servers and web hosting, AWS will corner that market and add more onto the business.
"There are going to be an unbelievable number of losers when AWS gets to scale," said Palihapitiya.
He said that the price-to-earnings ratio for that business should be similar to Oracle and IBM, which puts the market cap at $1.5 trillion.
Palihapitiya then said that Bezos' management style, investing in the business and inventing things, will add another, currently unseen $0.5 trillion to the market cap.
He said that he thinks Bezos is building the "most durable company in the world."
