The Amazon founder has reportedly filed to sell <strong data-start=\"370\" data-end=\"413\">up to $5 billion worth of Amazon shares<\/strong>, according to new filings released on Friday, May 3. That\u2019s approximately <strong data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"509\">25 million shares<\/strong>, though the final value will depend on stock market fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"577\" data-end=\"968\">The sale appears to be part of a pre-arranged trading plan set to run through <strong data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"671\">May 29, 2025<\/strong>, with no shares sold yet. The billionaire has gradually offloaded smaller chunks of his Amazon stock in recent years, previously selling shares worth <strong data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"837\">$50 million<\/strong> as part of another trading plan. Notably, he\u2019s also invested heavily in ventures like <strong data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"939\">Blue Origin<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"967\">The Washington Post<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1340\">This new financial move coincides with another major life event: <strong data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1096\">Bezos is set to marry journalist and pilot Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> in a lavish ceremony expected to take place <strong data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1161\">in Venice, Italy<\/strong> this summer. The couple has been together for five years, and the guest list reportedly includes <strong data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1281\">A-list celebrities<\/strong> like <strong data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1339\">Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, and Gayle King<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1342\" data-end=\"1537\">While the exact details of the wedding are still under wraps, the celebration is expected to be nothing short of extravagant, with <strong data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1494\">around 200 guests<\/strong> invited to the Italian destination affair.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1728\">Meanwhile, <strong data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1616\">Amazon faces growing pressure amid global tariff uncertainties<\/strong>, but its <strong data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1668\">advertising business continues to boom<\/strong>, signaling strong momentum despite macroeconomic headwinds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1887\">Whether it\u2019s a $5 billion stock play or a star-studded Italian wedding, Jeff Bezos is clearly making moves\u2014both on Wall Street and in the romance department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Bezos is gearing up for a big summer\u2014both financially and personally.
