Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, sells $737 million in shares, totaling 3.3 million shares. Earlier, he planned to sell $5.4 billion worth. Despite the recent sale, Bezos still owns 905.4 million shares in Amazon.

Bezos has been reducing his Amazon stake, selling over $5 billion in 2024. Amazon’s stock has been flat in 2025 due to macroeconomic uncertainty, impacted by U.S. trade policy concerns under President Trump.

Consider using the SEC Filings API to track insider transactions and the Earnings Historical API to evaluate sales’ correlation with financial performance. Bezos’ recent sale, following his wedding, is seen as part of a long-term strategy amidst Amazon’s growth slowdown and trade uncertainties.

Bezos remains Amazon’s largest shareholder, but his sales raise questions about the company’s future. Even visionaries like Bezos can pivot based on market conditions.
