If I had 200 dollars and someone would offer me 60 cents for moving to Miami, I would not move.

I hear Miami is a pretty fun town to live in, but I haven't been there since I was 6 so I have no idea. I don't expect to ever visit given it's in Florida.

4 0 ReplyHis net worth is just under $200 billion.
He could easily liquidate 1 billion of that to cash.
15 0 ReplyThe article states that he's planning to liquidate over $8B this year alone. I don't known what kind of drugs that other commenter is smoking.

He liquidated 12 million Amazon shares for approximately $2 billion last week. It's the capital gains on that sale that OP's article is referring to.
Unless you meant cash, in which case you're probably right. I don't think his brokerage settled the sale with briefcases of $100 bills.

4 0 ReplyHe just sold $2 billion in Amazon shares. So yeah, he has over a billion dollars in cash.
