Why sell if he thinks Amazon can go higher? Because he need the money?

Chief Executive Jeff Bezos sold roughly $5 billion worth of shares in his company this week, his largest concentrated disposal of shares since his divorce.\nAccording to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bezos sold roughly 1.48 million shares in separate transactions Monday through Thursday, with proceeds of $4.91 billion, according to tabulations performed by Dow Jones Market Data group. The stock sales were prearranged through a 10b5-1 trading plan, according to the filings.\nBezos has made a habit recently of selling large tranches of shares not long after AmazonAMZN,-0.45%reports earnings. Last week,Amazon reported it tripled profit in its first quarter, compared with a year ago, and forecast sales above $110 billion in the second quarter. That is expected to be the last full quarter with Bezos as CEO; earlier this year Bezos said he would step down in the third quarter to become executive chairman of Amazon.\nPrevious sales were not as large, however, coming in closer to $3 billion to $4 billion, such as inNovemberandFebruary 2020. This appears to be the largest disposal of Amazon shares for Bezos sincehe cleaved off billions in stock for his ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos, during their divorce.\nLast year,Bezos sold more than $9 billionin Amazon stock in total, and he has previously said about $1 billion of that goes every year to his rocket startup, Blue Origin. Bezos — the world’s wealthiest individual, according to theBloomberg Billionaires Index, with a net worth of about $191 billion — still holds about 51.7 million shares of Amazon, according to the final SEC filing of the week.\nAmazon sharesAMZN,-0.45%declined in four of the five trading sessions this week, for a weekly decline of 5.1%, the stock’s worst weekly performance since the week ending Nov. 13, which was alsoa week in which Bezos sold billions of dollars worth of stockand shares dipped more than 5%. Amazon stock is up 1.1% in 2021 and 39% in the past 12 months, compared to the S&P 500’sSPX,+0.74%45.8% gain in the past year.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":190360296,"gmtCreate":1620600442315,"gmtModify":1704345196329,"author":{"id":"3564699872563563","authorId":"3564699872563563","authorIdStr":"3564699872563563","name":"TheTraDer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a7106d89a292fc159261f2863dcc3a9","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3564699872563563"},"htmlText":"Up","listText":"Up","text":"Up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/190360296","repostId":1188056695,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4273184,"gmtCreate":1620600455622,"gmtModify":1680787782853,"authorId":3564699872563563,"author":{"id":3564699872563563,"authorId":3564699872563563,"name":"TheTraDer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a7106d89a292fc159261f2863dcc3a9","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be-2","templateUuid":"972123088c9646f7b6091ae0662215be","name":"Master Trader","description":"Total number of securities or futures transactions reached 100","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad22cfbe2d05aa393b18e9226e4b0307","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36702e6ff3ffe46acafee66cc85273ca","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52eb88fa385cf5abe2616ed63781765","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2021.12.28","exceedPercentage":"80.44%","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1100},"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":190360296,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>gd</u>","text":"<u>gd</u>","html":"<u>gd</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":190301196,"gmtCreate":1620580706915,"gmtModify":1704345134093,"author":{"id":"3579482809178950","authorId":"3579482809178950","authorIdStr":"3579482809178950","name":"Dawang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0f01f2346125f600328ffd48beb3a4c","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3579482809178950"},"htmlText":"Ka-chng, realising his profits.&nbsp;[梭哈]&nbsp;[捂嘴]&nbsp;","listText":"Ka-chng, realising his profits.&nbsp;[梭哈]&nbsp;[捂嘴]&nbsp;","text":"Ka-chng, realising his profits.
