> If this is true, how would a founder or large shareholder ever retire Bezos doesn't need to sell 100% of his AMZN to retire. Just a few points would be enough to live a lavish lifestyle. This is a real issue though, and the same problem you're describing exists in the inverse. How was Elon able to buy 100% of the shares of Twitter without prices going to infinity? You go to private buyers and sell large blocks at a discount (or buy large blocks at a premium) to the current market value. Drag-along clauses help ensure there aren't meaningful stragglers once start approaching 100%.
