What Happened: Bezos reported three tranches of stock sales, two of which were done on Monday and the third one on Friday. The details of the transactions are as follows:
发生了什么：贝佐斯报告了三份股票销售，其中两份在周一完成，第三份在周五完成。交易的细节如下：
- 3,085,116 shares divested Friday at an average price of $200.07

- 周一以每股200.33美元的价格出售了1,171,794股和以每股201.05美元的价格出售了57,199股。
The selling was in conformance with the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by Bezos on March 2. The rule offers corporate insiders a way to transact in company stock over a predefined period, provided the insiders can establish that they were unaware of any material non-public information when the pre-existing plan was established.
这一售出符合贝佐斯于3月2日制定的10b5-1条例交易计划。该规则为公司内部人员提供了一个预定期间内以公司股票交易的方法，前提是交易员在制定现有计划时无法获悉任何非公开重要信息。
The total value of shares divested over the past two trading sessions is $863.49 million.
过去两个交易日售出的股份总价值为8,634,900美元。
Following the most recent transaction, Bezos is left with 930,696,284 shares in Amazon, representing an ownership interest of 8.9% based on the 10.41 billion in outstanding shares.
最近交易后，贝佐斯仍持有9,306,962,284股亚马逊公司的股份，占104.1亿股总股本的8.9%。
The most recent disclosure comes close on the heels of the sale of $333.09 million worth of shares on July 2 and July 3 which was disclosed on Friday. Put together, the billionaire has pocketed roughly $1.2 million from the recent divestments.
最近的披露紧随上周五披露的价值为333090,000美元的股票出售。综合起来，这位亿万富翁从最近的股份减持中赚取了大约1200万美元。
Incidentally, the company said in a separate filing on July 2 that Bezos intends to sell 25 million shares valued at $4.93 billion.
顺便说一句，公司在7月2日的另一份文件中表示，贝佐斯打算出售价值4.93亿美元的2500万股。
Why It's Important: Bezos is the world's second-richest man, with Bloomberg estimating his wealth at $221 million, and the bulk of his net worth is tied to his stake in Amazon. The billionaire also owns the Washington Post and space company Blue Origin, which competes with Elon Musk's SpaceX.
为什么这很重要：贝佐斯是世界第二富有的人，彭博经济学家估计他的财富为221亿美元，他的大部分净资产与他在亚马逊的股份有关。这位亿万富翁还拥有《华盛顿邮报》和太空公司Blue Origin，后者与埃隆·马斯克的spacex公司竞争。
Amazon shares have been on a tear this year, riding on the artificial intelligence mania. On Monday, the stock hit an intraday high of $201.20 before pulling back below the psychological $200 barrier by the close. It edged up 0.03% on Tuesday before settling at $199.34, according to Benzinga Pro data. This is slightly off the $200 closing high reached on Friday.
亚马逊的股价今年一直疯狂上涨，主要得益于人工智能热潮。周一，该股票达到了每股201.20美元的盘中高点，但最终在心理关口200美元下方收盘。根据Benzinga Pro的数据，周二涨了0.03%，最终报价199.34美元，略低于周五的200美元收盘高位。
