>How much could Bezos actually liquidate tomorrow without losing control or tanking Amazon?
Unless he had a very believable reason to need the money that is fully isolated from Amazon the company (which is near impossible for a cult ceo/founder), Bezos selling any significant amount of stock right now would likely cause a heavy crash. The market is going to be particularly sensitive right now to the fact that someone like Bezos would only be selling if they know something big that we don't know.
The same applies all the time, but particularly in uncertain, volatile time.
