Bezos and his brother, Mark, are set to travel into space on July 20 with Bezos’ private rocket company Blue Origin.

A third person, whose name hasn’t been revealed, will also be traveling with them.

Blue Origin announced that it had a third passenger after a vacant seat sold at auction for $28 million.
