Bezos sells 4,154,098 shares for $954,275,369.70 across 6 transactions (Jul 23-24); retains 883,779,901 shares post-sale.
Bezos executed 6 separate sales on July 23-24, 2025, totaling 4,154,098 shares for $954,275,369.70 at prices ranging from $228.48 to $233.08 (blended average $229.72), reducing his holdings by 0.5% to 883,779,901 shares. The transaction occurred while AMZN is trading 4.4% below its 52-week high of $242.06 and up 9.2% over 30 days and 22.5% over 90 days, representing a period of strong price appreciation. Across his open-market history spanning all tickers, Bezos has executed 20 prior sells with a cross-ticker 90d well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his historical sales have not preceded stock declines; his 5 most recent AMZN sales (July 15, 21, 22) remain in outcome measurement periods and cannot yet be evaluated for timing accuracy. The scale of this disposition—nearly $1 billion in proceeds—signals a significant liquidity event, though the modest 0.5% portfolio reduction suggests this is a partial rather than wholesale exit from his Amazon position.
