Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com's Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive, announced he would sell about $1 billion of Amazon stock every year to finance Blue Origin, his aerospace manufacturing and spaceflight services company, which aims to develop space tourism. Bezos set up Blue Origin about 10 years ago to make reusable rockets a reality. Although he did not disclose the total amount he would like to invest in the company, Bezos said, "It’s a long road to get there and I’m happy to invest in it."
