Bezos Unloads $4.1B Worth of Amazon Shares Amid Record High

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, has filed to sell approximately 15 million shares of the company, valued at around $4.1 billion. This decision follows Amazon's stock reaching a record high after the company reported stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings.

The sale is part of a pre-arranged trading plan adopted in November 2025, and the shares were sold through Morgan Stanley. Bezos remains one of Amazon's largest shareholders despite the sale.

He has routinely sold stock through scheduled trading plans, using the proceeds to fund ventures such as his space company, Blue Origin. According to CNBC, Bezos donated 220,200 shares to nonprofit organizations in May, which may have been sold in the preceding months.
