Amazon is a publicly traded company, so it is owned by a diverse group of shareholders. The largest individual shareholder and the founder is Jeff Bezos, who owns about 8.92% to 10% of the company's outstanding shares. Alongside Bezos, major institutional investors such as The Vanguard Group (around 6.5%), BlackRock (about 3.6%), and other investment firms hold significant stakes in the company. Ownership is therefore shared among many individual investors, institutional investors, and employees, making the ownership structure quite diversified.
