2024-02-10 21:53:38

A previous stock market document, published Wednesday, reported Jeff Bezos’ intention to sell, next July, 50 million shares of the group he founded 30 years ago, and of which he is today president. The fortune of the founder of Amazon is estimated by Forbes at $195.5 billion, making him the 3rd richest man on the planet, behind Frenchman Bernard Arnault, CEO of the LVMH group, and Elon Musk, boss of Tesla , Twitter or even SpaceX.

Amazon released its financial results on February 1, which far exceeded expectations. The group achieved a turnover of 170 billion dollars, an increase of 14% over one year, and a net profit of 10.6 billion, driven by faster deliveries and a particularly successful holiday season. The stock jumped more than 13% the next day on the New York Stock Exchange.
