Jeff Bezos Now Owns Less Than 9% Of Amazon, Billionaire Divests $863.5M Worth Of Shares As Part Of $5B Liquidation Plan
Amazon, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos sold more shares of the e-commerce giant, a late-Tuesday filing by the company with the SEC showed.
亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）的創始人Jeff Bezos出售了更多的該電子商務巨頭的股份，在公司週二的晚些時候提交給美國證券交易委員會的一份文件顯示。
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:
發生了什麼：貝佐斯報告了三份股票銷售，其中兩份在週一完成，第三份在週五完成。交易的細節如下：
- 3,085,116 shares divested Friday at an average price of $200.07
- 1,171,794 shares at $200.33 apiece and 57,199 shares at $201.05 per share on Monday.
- 308,5116股於週五剝離，平均價格爲200.07美元。
- 週一以每股200.33美元的價格出售了1,171,794股和以每股201.05美元的價格出售了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.
這一售出符合貝佐斯於3月2日製定的10b5-1條例交易計劃。該規則爲公司內部人員提供了一個預定期間內以公司股票交易的方法，前提是交易員在制定現有計劃時無法獲悉任何非公開重要信息。
The total value of shares divested over the past two trading sessions is $863.49 million.
過去兩個交易日售出的股份總價值爲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.
最近交易後，貝佐斯仍持有9,306,962,284股亞馬遜公司的股份，佔104.1億股總股本的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.
最近的披露緊隨上週五披露的價值爲333090,000美元的股票出售。綜合起來，這位億萬富翁從最近的股份減持中賺取了大約1200萬美元。
Incidentally, the company said in a separate filing on July 2 that Bezos intends to sell 25 million shares valued at $4.93 billion.
順便說一句，公司在7月2日的另一份文件中表示，貝佐斯打算出售價值4.93億美元的2500萬股。
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.
爲什麼這很重要：貝佐斯是世界第二富有的人，彭博經濟學家估計他的財富爲221億美元，他的大部分淨資產與他在亞馬遜的股份有關。這位億萬富翁還擁有《華盛頓郵報》和太空公司Blue Origin，後者與埃隆·馬斯克的spacex公司競爭。
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.
亞馬遜的股價今年一直瘋狂上漲，主要得益於人工智能熱潮。週一，該股票達到了每股201.20美元的盤中高點，但最終在心理關口200美元下方收盤。根據Benzinga Pro的數據，週二漲了0.03%，最終報價199.34美元，略低於週五的200美元收盤高位。
