News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If I had 200 dollars and someone would offer me 60 cents for moving to Miami, I would not move.
If someone offered me $600M to move to Miami, I would offer someone $300M to move to Miami and pocket the rest
How long do I have to stay? I can buy someplace, lock the door and just be a shut in for a while.
Spock?
I hear Miami is a pretty fun town to live in, but I haven't been there since I was 6 so I have no idea. I don't expect to ever visit given it's in Florida.
He doesn't have a billion dollars in cash
His net worth is just under $200 billion.
He could easily liquidate 1 billion of that to cash.
The article states that he's planning to liquidate over $8B this year alone. I don't known what kind of drugs that other commenter is smoking.
He liquidated 12 million Amazon shares for approximately $2 billion last week. It's the capital gains on that sale that OP's article is referring to.
Unless you meant cash, in which case you're probably right. I don't think his brokerage settled the sale with briefcases of $100 bills.
This article is about selling $8B of shares...
He just sold $2 billion in Amazon shares. So yeah, he has over a billion dollars in cash.
