Jeff Bezos Sells Millions in Amazon Stock Post Wedding
Jeff Bezos is back in the headlines — this time for offloading nearly $666 million worth of Amazon shares, just weeks after tying the knot in a high-profile Venice wedding. According to a new regulatory filing, the Amazon founder sold nearly three million shares over two days in July, part of a broader plan to gradually divest up to 25 million shares by May 2026.
The move follows another major sale in late June, where Bezos cashed out $736.7 million worth of stock. Despite these transactions, he remains Amazon’s largest individual shareholder, still holding over 900 million shares, valued at roughly $200 billion.
Bezos, who stepped down as CEO in 2021 but continues to serve as Amazon’s chairman, has increasingly balanced his business ventures with high-profile personal milestones. His recent $50 million wedding to Lauren Sanchez was a headline-grabbing event, attracting celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Leonardo DiCaprio. Now, with nearly $1.4 billion in stock cashed out in just a few weeks, Bezos seems to be shifting focus — though it’s anyone’s guess whether the next chapter is driven by investment strategy, personal legacy, or both.
