In July 1994, Jeff Bezos incorporated Amazon in Bellevue, Washington as an online bookstore operating out of his garage, listing it on Nasdaq in May 1997 and raising $54 million. The company expanded into every retail category and built Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2006, which now generates the majority of Amazon's operating profit despite representing a fraction of total revenue. Andy Jassy, who had led AWS since its founding, became CEO in July 2021. Amazon reported $638 billion in net sales in 2024 and employs more than 1.5 million people worldwide.

Equity comp at Amazon
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

If a meaningful share of your net worth sits in AMZN, concentration risk is the question. This calculator quantifies drawdown impact at 30 / 50 / 70%, and the trade-off between selling down (tax cost now) versus hedging (option premium drag), auto-filled with AMZN's option-implied volatility.
Example: 5,000 AMZN shares at $246 is a $1,230,000 position. A 30% drawdown costs $369,000; a 50% drawdown costs $615,000; a 70% drawdown costs $861,000. The calculator quantifies the trade-off between selling down (immediate capital-gains tax) and hedging (option premium drag) using AMZN's option-implied volatility and your cost basis.

Amazon equity questions
- How much AMZN stock is too much?
- There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your AMZN position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
- Does Amazon grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Amazon typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Amazon RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Amazon restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
