Jeff Bezos has sold a substantial amount of Amazon shares in early July 2025, totaling over $1.5 billion in value. Between June 27 and July 9, Bezos executed multiple open market sales under a prearranged trading plan, including 3.3 million shares worth approximately $737 million at the end of June, followed by sales of nearly 3 million shares worth about $665.9 million on July 3 and July 7. Additional sales on July 8 and July 9 amounted to over $108 million. These transactions come shortly after Bezos's high-profile $50 million wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice. Since June 20, Bezos has sold more than 8.3 million Amazon shares, with a cumulative value of roughly $1.86 billion. The average share prices during these sales ranged around $223.73 to $224.02 per share. These sales are part of a planned trading strategy as disclosed in regulatory filings.
