How do tech billionaires make their wealth liquid?

534 views

I know a majority of Bezos’ and Musk’s net worths are stock ownership. But they obviously would want to make actual cash. So do they just sell a bit of their stocks every year? How do they gain their ownership back then, aren’t they just decreasing their ownership of company stocks? Would they just buy more stocks then? And if so, isn’t that an endless loop of nothing? Sell your stocks to get money, but then buy the stocks back for more ownership of the company?

As they have a job as CEO of their company, they get paid huge amounts of money in stocks.

They just liquify the money they need to cover their expenses.

So a few 10-20 million per year or so.

Their expenses are so tiny compared to what they make, it doesn’t even matter.
