The soon-to-be-owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon sold 614,938 shares of his company’s stock last week for a return of about $185 million, according to Quartz.
The Post Co. announced Monday that Bezos would be buying its flagship paper for $250 million in cash, which may be a reason for the stock sale.
Wired’s Tim Carmody first spotted the sale of the stocks last week.
