So three headquarters? My speculation on why these two cities were chosen would be that they are the two cities that Bezos wants to spend the most time in. Most business headquarter moves to a new city are because the CEO wants to live at the new location [citation needed]. At least in this case people at the old HQ can stay put and Bezos is the largest stockholder in the company, not just the top manager.

- discodave 8y agoDid you used to frequent r/weightlifting? Moving on.. Bezos has basically no income from Amazon. He owns a bunch of shares, some of which he sells for a capital gain. Amazon doesn't pay dividends. He may have some income from other investments. In his case, the tax man can only come when he sells stock, of which he only sells a ~1 billion USD per year.

I became tired of arguing with PED apologists and anyway, injury has driven me out of the sport. > In his case, the tax man can only come when he sells stock, of which he only sells a ~1 billion USD per year. And they will, if he spends enough time here. He'll need to increase his sale to cover the difference.
