Jeff Bezos wants to sell $ 5 billion shares in "Amazon"

Jeff Bezos unveiled a plan to sell additional 25 million shares of Amazon worth $ 5 billion, at a time when the company’s share reached a new record. The company announced in this regard after the market was closed last Tuesday, although it could also be made early on that day, according to the deposit papers. In February, Pussus traded shares worth about $ 8.5 billion over nine days, the first time the company’s shares have been sold since 2021. Additional sales will increase its total sales to nearly $ 13.5 billion this year, according to the Bloomberg index for billionaires. “Bezos” will remain the owner of approximately 912 million shares, or about 8.8% of Amazon shares after the last sale. He is the second richest person in the world with a net wealth of $ 221.6 billion, according to the “Bloomberg” resource index, and also owns the space exploration business, “Blue Oregon”, and the newspaper “Washington Post”. Amazon spokesman refused to comment on the latest sales. The shares of “Amazon” closed at $ 200 a share on Tuesday, which is the highest level since its inclusion in 1997. The company’s shares have risen by 32% this year, and the cloud work is expected to benefit from the growth of the artificial intelligence technology. Bezos, 60, announced last November that he will move from the Seattle region to Miami. The state in Washington imposed a 7% tax on capital gains in 2022 – something that Florida is not applied – which means that the transfer of “Bezos” is likely to supply hundreds of millions of dollars to tax.
