Jeff Bezos has just sold a whole stock of Amazon shares.
According to documents filed by Amazon with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday night, Bezos dumped 965,612 shares during the last three days of July, for a value of about $ 1,900 per share.
This means that the richest man in the world has just increased his cash reserves by more than 1.8 billion dollars. The total net worth of Bezos is $ 117 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires index.
Forbes said the sale could be the biggest monetary value of Bezos since its founding in 1994 and the growth of the online retailer into a business of nearly a trillion dollars.
The 965,612 shares represented 1.6% of its total stake in Amazon, which now stands at 58,142,479 shares as a result of the sale.

It's unclear if the money from his July sale will also be used for Blue Origin. A spokesman for Amazon did not immediately respond to Business Insider's comment request.
