Bezos Wraps Up Massive Amazon Share Sale, Netting $5.7 Billion

Jeff Bezos wrapped up a massive sale of Amazon.com Inc. shares that’s netted him nearly $5.7 billion since his wedding day in late June.

The sales, which began when Bezos unloaded $737 million around his weekend nuptials in Venice, were part of a trading plan for up to 25 million shares that he adopted earlier this year. He sold the last of the 25 million on Wednesday and Thursday, divesting about 4.2 million shares for $954 million, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Friday.
