> yacht money

Huh? Apparently Amazon has never paid dividends, has done much less than 1% buybacks, even as CEO Bezos was getting less than an engineer in total comp (but did get loans or something).

Apparently Bezos owns about 9% of common stock - no dual class shite.

So your yacht spending sounds like a hallucination: if I'm missing something, please correct me.

Amazon's weight: about 3.7–3.8% of the S&P 500. So he isn't even that overweighted (especially as the market doesn't like owners selling down - bad optics).

Bezos has spent about 28 billion for Blue Origin by selling Amazon stock - not using shell games. He has comparitively spent a few percent of that amount on superyachts.
