(Bloomberg) -- Jeff Bezos unloaded 12 million shares of $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ this week, the first time the billionaire has sold the company's stock since 2021.
（彭博社）——傑夫·貝佐斯拋售了1200萬股股票 $亞馬遜 (AMZN.US)$ 本週，這位億萬富翁自2021年以來首次出售該公司的股票。
The sales took place on Wednesday and Thursday and netted just over $2 billion, according to a filing.
一份文件顯示，銷售發生在週三和週四，淨銷售額剛剛超過20億美元。
Amazon disclosed on Feb. 2 that Bezos plans to sell as many as 50 million shares of Amazon over the next 12 months, potentially cashing in on a stock surge that's put him within reach of becoming the world's richest person. His fortune has climbed $22.6 billion this year to $199.5 billion as of Friday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
亞馬遜在2月2日透露，貝索斯計劃在未來12個月內出售多達5000萬股亞馬遜股票，這有可能從股價飆升中獲利，這使他有望成爲世界首富。根據彭博億萬富翁指數，截至週五，他今年的財富已攀升226億美元，至1995億美元。
The Amazon founder has sold over $30 billion in shares since records going back to 2002, including about $20 billion combined in 2020 and 2021. He has primarily been gifting stock, including shares worth roughly $230 million that were given to nonprofit organizations in November.
自2002年創紀錄以來，這位亞馬遜創始人已經出售了超過300億美元的股票，其中包括2020年和2021年的總共約200億美元的股票。他主要贈送股票，包括11月份向非營利組織贈送的價值約2.3億美元的股票。
Amazon, through a spokesperson, declined to comment.
