# Jeff Bezos Gifted Over 1 Million Amazon Shares in November 2025 — Continuing a Pattern of Charitable Transfers

> Jeff Bezos transferred approximately 1.06 million AMZN shares through gift transactions (code G) in November 2025, worth roughly $245M at market prices.

What HappenedJeff Bezos, founder and executive chairman of Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), transferred approximately 1.06 million shares through gift transactions during November 6-14, 2025. The transactions were coded “G” (gift), indicating charitable or personal transfers rather than open-market sales.Transaction DetailsDateCodeSharesAfter2025-11-06G (Gift)909,691882,348,4972025-11-07G (Gift)103,437882,245,0602025-11-14G (Gift)42,610882,202,450Total gifted: 1,055,738 shares. At Amazon’s approximate share price of $230 in November 2025, these gifts were worth roughly $243 million. After the gifts, Bezos owned 882.2 million shares of Amazon.Why It MattersBezos has consistently used gift transactions to transfer Amazon shares to charitable vehicles, most notably the Bezos Earth Fund and Day One Fund. These transfers are not open-market sales — they do not create selling pressure — but they do reduce Bezos’s direct ownership over time.Bezos’s most recent open-market sales were in July 2025, when he sold approximately 2.6 million shares at prices around $230 per share. The November transactions are gifts, not sales.ContextWith 882 million shares remaining, Bezos is still Amazon’s largest individual shareholder by a wide margin. His career Form 4 history shows 1,808 total transactions, with $48.9 billion in reported sell value and minimal buy activity. The pattern is clear: periodic sales for liquidity and philanthropy, with the core position remaining enormous.What to WatchWhether Bezos resumes open-market sales in 2026Amazon’s AWS growth and e-commerce margin trajectoryUpdates on Bezos Earth Fund deployment of donated shares
