Jeff Bezos Plans To Sell Amazon Stock Worth Up To $5B

Jeff Bezos plans to sell 25 million shares of Amazon stock, valued at around $4.7 billion, potentially leaving him with over a billion shares and an estimated personal fortune exceeding $200 billion. Despite this routine financial move, his recent actions have drawn intense scrutiny after President Trump called him regarding a reported plan to list exact tariff costs on Amazon's website. Bezos, who became executive chairman in 2021 following Andy Jassy's elevation as CEO, will execute the stock sale under a pre-set trading plan, with other board members also planning smaller sales totaling $3.5 million. Last year, he sold 75 million shares for $13.6 billion using a similar strategy.
