Jeff Bezos, the world’s third richest man, just sold 3.3 million Amazon shares worth about $737 million—just days after his lavish three-day wedding in Venice that reportedly cost around $50 million and sparked outrage among locals. This stock sale is part of a pre-arranged trading plan Bezos adopted in March, allowing him to sell up to $1 billion worth of shares annually. Bezos had previously announced he’d funnel some of this cash into his space company Blue Origin and a nonprofit opening Montessori preschools in the U.S. While he remains Amazon’s largest individual shareholder, Bezos’s net worth sits at roughly $150 billion, trailing only Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. So here’s the kicker: while Bezos splurges millions on weddings and cashes out billions in stock, regular folks are left wondering—where’s the line? Is this just another example of the ultra-rich gaming the system and hoarding cash while the world burns? Got thoughts? Drop them below—let’s see if we can crack what’s really going on behind the scenes!
