Jeff Bezos, the brains behind online retail behemoth Amazon, is making headlines again with another share sale.

This time, the Amazon founder is letting go of 25 million shares in the tech giant, netting him a cool $5 billion, or roughly Sh641 billion.

Interestingly, this divestiture follows hot on the heels of Amazon's stock price reaching an all-time high.

It's also worth noting that this isn't Bezos' first foray into share sales – back in February, he announced a similar move worth around $8.5 billion.

The reasons behind these sales haven't been officially disclosed, but speculation is rife.
