Andy Jassy’s wealth is mostly Amazon stock, and the filings show the part that can be counted: Amazon’s 2026 proxy lists 2,313,536 Amazon shares beneficially owned by him as of 24 February 2026, plus 1,049,680 unvested restricted stock units at 31 December 2025, which the proxy valued at $242,287,138 at that day’s $230.82 close. Jassy joined Amazon in 1997, founded and led Amazon Web Services from 2006, and has been Amazon’s President and CEO since July 2021. Any single net-worth figure adds unfiled items (cash, past sales, other assets) and moves with the share price.
Amazon's proxy reports Jassy's 2025 pay as $365,000 salary plus $1,704,861 of other compensation, $2,069,861 in total, with no stock award that year.
02
One big stock award
The Committee has not granted Jassy an equity award since 2021; it said the 2021 award, made on his promotion to CEO, was meant to cover most of his pay for years.
03
Vesting, not grants, adds shares
In 2025, 201,000 of his shares vested, worth $43,235,494 at the vesting-date prices. A further 1,049,680 units were unvested at 31 December 2025.
On 21 August 2026 a 50,000-share tranche vested and Jassy sold 20,000 shares at weighted average prices of about $257.63 to $260.39, under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on 14 November 2025, according to his Form 4.
Holdings after that sale
The same Form 4 shows 2,235,766 shares held directly after the 21 August 2026 trades, plus 65,500 shares in trust and about 9,927 shares in his Amazon 401(k) account.
Running the AI build-out
As CEO, Jassy runs the company whose cash capital expenditures rose from $77.7 billion in 2024 to $128.3 billion in 2025, mainly technology infrastructure, the majority of it to support AWS, according to Amazon’s 2025 10-K. AWS sales reached $128.7 billion in 2025.
Shareholders on his pay
At Amazon’s 2025 annual meeting, 78% of votes cast supported the advisory vote on executive pay. The proxy says Jassy’s realized pay rose 13% in 2025, driven by the share price.

How to read a CEO net-worth figure
Start from the proxy's beneficial-ownership table and note its date; it is the only share count the company vouches for.
Add unvested units separately: they are pay he has not yet earned and lapse if he leaves.
Check recent Form 4s for sales and new vesting; a planned 10b5-1 sale is routine, not a signal by itself.
Multiply by a dated share price and say which day you used; a figure without a date is not a number.
Treat cash, property and past sales as unknown unless a filing shows them.
The Business Engineer lens
Jassy’s fortune is a bet on the same thing as Amazon’s capital spending: that AI infrastructure built through AWS pays back. The Business Engineer view is that his wealth moves with the market’s verdict on that build-out, not with his salary.
Amazon's 2026 proxy lists 2,313,536 shares beneficially owned as of 24 February 2026. His Form 4 for 21 August 2026 shows 2,235,766 held directly plus 65,500 in trust.

In short
Andy Jassy’s net worth has not been estimated by Forbes. What is public: Amazon’s 2026 proxy lists 2,313,536 Amazon shares, worth about $607M at the 9 Oct 2026 close. That is a floor for his Amazon holdings, not a full net worth.
Correction (10 Oct 2026): this page previously showed undated or unsourced net-worth figures. We replaced them with one dated, named estimate and the holdings disclosed in filings, and we now tag every input as filing, reported or estimate.
How we source: figures on this page come from the company’s own filings (SEC 10-K, 10-Q, prospectus and earnings releases, or its annual report), with the period stated next to each number; outside estimates appear only labelled, with their source and date. Last refreshed October 2026. Our methodology.
Calculated by FourWeekMBA: 2,313,536 Amazon shares × Amazon’s closing price of $262.43 on 9 Oct 2026. This is not a net-worth estimate: it leaves out shares already sold, cash and other assets.
An estimate is only as good as its date: it moves with share prices.

The Business Engineer view
What Jassy’s fortune really measures
This is the value of filed shares only, not a full net-worth estimate. When the share count is not public, two of the three inputs are guesses, so treat any single figure with caution.
Read any net-worth figure with three questions: who estimated it, on what date, and at what share price. For the company behind the fortune, see Amazon on FourWeekMBA.
