For what is likely the first time in Amazons history, founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos stake is now less than 10 percent of the company.

In a securities filing Tuesday, Bezos disclosed that he now owns 9 percent of the companys shares, after selling off more than 100 million shares over the course of the last year. A year ago Bezos owned 10.1 percent of Amazon.

When the company went public in 1997, the tech mogul owned more than 43 percent of the company. When he stepped aside as CEO in 2021 and handed day-to-day control over to Andy Jassy, he owned 14.1 percent of the company, per SEC filings. It is not clear how much Bezos netted from his stock sales, but when he filed to sell 25 million shares earlier this year, the estimated returns were $5 billion. A filing in August disclosed that he would sell another 25 million shares, netting about $5.4 billion. Bezos also gifted more than half a million shares to charity in the last couple months, per SEC filings.

Bezos, of course, has done extensive business outside of Amazon in recent years. He owns The Washington Post, and his space company Blue Origin has continued its efforts in space tourism and more commercial endeavors.

At a New York Times conference last year, Bezos said that turning around the Post was a top priority for him.

I have a bunch of ideas, and I am working on that right now, Bezos said. We savedTheWashington Postonce, this will be the second time. It needs to be put back on a good footing again.

And, of course, Bezos married Lauren Snchez earlier this year in a star-studded soiree in Venice with a guest list that included Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jassy has since leaned into media and entertainment as CEO, putting his mark on the company by doubling down on the NFL, and inking a deal with the NBA that tips off later this month.
