Jeff Bezos’s recent honeymoon wasn’t just about luxury travel—it also coincided with a massive financial move. The Amazon founder sold $5.7 billion worth of Amazon shares, marking one of his largest stock selloffs in recent years.
The sale, disclosed in regulatory filings, comes as Bezos continues to diversify his wealth and fund personal ventures, including Blue Origin, real estate acquisitions, and philanthropic projects. It also aligns with his recent relocation to Miami, a state with no income tax, which offers significant tax advantages on such transactions.
While Bezos retains a substantial stake in Amazon, his latest selloff has fueled speculation about his future plans. Some analysts view the move as strategic timing amid Amazon’s strong market performance, while others point to Bezos’s growing focus outside of Amazon, particularly in space exploration and high-profile investments.
The billionaire’s personal life has also remained in the spotlight, with his honeymoon following a lavish wedding to Lauren Sánchez earlier this year. The timing of the sale suggests Bezos may be using the windfall to finance both personal and professional ambitions, as he reshapes his post-Amazon legacy.
