Jeff Bezos sells $2 billion of Amazon stock after 4% stake transfer
London/Seattle: MacKenzie Bezos is officially Amazon.com Inc.’s second-largest individual shareholder.
About 19.7 million shares are now registered in 49-year-old MacKenzie’s name, according to regulatory filings detailing stock sales by her ex-husband, Jeff Bezos. The transfer is a rare disclosure for a divorce whose financial terms have otherwise been shielded from the public. A King County, Washington, judge had signed an order formalizing the separation on 5 July.
Bezos sold 968,148 shares for about $1.8 billion between 29 July and 31 July as part of his stock-sale plan, the filings show.
