Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has sold almost $300 million in stock over the past month

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is taking the whole I’m gonna give all my money away thing pretty seriously.

Zuckerberg has sold nearly $300 million in Facebook stock over the past month, including a $95 million sale over the past few trading days, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission document filed Tuesday.

Zuckerberg sold roughly 742,000 shares of stock in the past week using a 10b5-1 trading plan, according to the filing — the kind of plan executives use to avoid concerns over insider trading. It’s the third $95 million stock sale Zuckerberg has made since mid-August, and it looks as though they’ll continue to come with regularity.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, or a concern, to Facebook investors. Zuckerberg has promised to give away almost all of his Facebook stock over his lifetime, and this sale was made as part of that plan, according to the filing.

And while $95 million is a lot of money to most people, it’s a very small portion of Zuckerberg’s overall wealth and ownership in the company. (He still has over 400 million shares of Facebook stock.) We don’t know where the money will be spent, but I’m guessing we’ll hear about it once the money finds a home.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
