Amazon boss Jeff Bezos has taken advantage of the recent price increases: In the past few days, he has sold shares of the online trading house he founded worth $ 3.1 billion (€ 2.6 billion), according to stock exchange documents from Wednesday. Since the beginning of the year, Amazon shares have gained 73 percent in value.
The company benefits from the corona pandemic because many people affected by curfews order goods online.
Bezos had announced it would sell approximately $ 1 billion in shares annually to fund its Blue Origin rocket company. After the recent sales, he still owns 54.5 million Amazon papers worth around $ 174.64 billion. Bezos is the richest man in the world.
