Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, is set to offload up to 25 million shares of the company, totaling $4.75 billion, as part of a prearranged trading plan established in early March. The sales will continue through May 2026, marking a significant divestment from the tech giant he founded.

The move coincides with Bezos’ relocation from Washington to Florida, a strategic decision driven by tax considerations. Florida’s lack of state income and capital gains taxes contrasts sharply with Washington’s recent 7% levy on long-term capital gains exceeding $250,000. This shift underscores the financial acumen of high-net-worth individuals in optimizing asset sales.
