- An SEC disclosure dated September 30 shows her holdings fell from 139.1 million shares a year earlier, a decline of 58 million.
- The reduction is valued at roughly $12.55 billion based on Amazon’s October 14 closing price of $216.39.
- A separate filing states Bezos beneficially owns more than 964 million shares and has sole voting authority over Scott’s 81.1 million shares.
- Bloomberg first reported the filings, while Reuters said it had not independently verified them at publication and Amazon declined to comment.
- Scott’s continued trimming aligns with her Yield Giving philanthropy, which has disbursed over $19.25 billion to more than 2,450 nonprofits, as Amazon shares closed about 2% lower on the news and analysts maintained a Strong Buy consensus with an average $267 price target.
