Jeff Bezos completed a large-scale sale of Amazon stock, bringing him nearly $5.7 billion in income since his wedding day at the end of June. This round of cashing out was carried out according to a trading plan adopted earlier this year by Bezos, with a total sale amount not exceeding 25 million shares, starting around the weekend of Bezos' Venice wedding when he sold about $737 million worth of stock. According to the announcement by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, he finally completed this round of sale plan on Wednesday and Thursday, selling approximately 4.2 million shares and cashing out $954 million. At the time of this reduction, Amazon's stock price had risen by 38% from its recent low point at the end of April. The company will announce its financial report next week, and investors are eager to know whether the huge spending in the field of artificial intelligence by the company can bring returns. Since 2002, Bezos has sold over $50 billion worth of Amazon stock.
