What is the networth of Amazon? Companies don’t have a personal net worth, so the figures people usually mean are market capitalization, revenue and shareholders’ equity. As of 2025, Amazon’s market value was reported at roughly $2 trillion or more, depending on the day’s share price, and its 2024 revenue was about $638 billion, according to its annual report. Below is what each number means.
What is the networth of Amazon? The numbers at a glance
- Market capitalization: around $2 trillion or higher in 2025, according to market data. It changes every trading day.
- Revenue (2024): approximately $638 billion, per Amazon’s 10-K filing.
- Net income (2024): roughly $59 billion, per the same filing.
- Shareholders’ equity: the accounting “net worth,” reported on the balance sheet in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Check the latest filing for the exact figure.
You can verify all of these through the company’s filings on the SEC’s EDGAR system.
Which number is “the networth”?
Market cap: what investors think it’s worth
Market cap is the share price times the number of shares outstanding. It reflects expectations about future profit, not what’s in the bank. It’s usually what people mean when they say a company is “worth” something.
Book value: the accounting answer
Shareholders’ equity equals total assets minus total liabilities. This is the closest match to a person’s net worth. For a company like Amazon, it’s much smaller than market cap, because the balance sheet doesn’t capture brand strength, customer relationships and expected growth.
Revenue: not worth at all
Revenue is what the company takes in from sales, before costs. A company can have enormous revenue and thin margins, which is a longstanding pattern in retail.
Where the money comes from
Amazon reports several segments:
- North America and International stores: the retail business, including third-party seller services and advertising related to the marketplace.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): cloud computing. It’s smaller by revenue than retail, yet it has historically produced a very large share of operating profit.
- Other lines: subscriptions such as Prime, advertising, devices, and media.
Understanding that mix explains why a retailer commands a technology-company valuation: investors are valuing cloud and advertising growth as well as shopping.
Why market cap moves so much
Share prices respond to earnings reports, interest rate expectations, competition and news about artificial intelligence spending, among other things. A single day can add or remove tens of billions of dollars of value. That’s why articles quoting Amazon’s value should include a date, and why you should check a live source for the current figure.
Compared with its founder’s wealth
People often mix up the company’s value with Jeff Bezos’s personal fortune. He owns a fraction of the shares, and Forbes and Bloomberg have estimated his net worth in the low-to-mid hundreds of billions of dollars in recent years, which is a separate number. Live estimates are published by those outlets and change daily. For how those rankings work, see our explainer on understanding the networth rankings.
Compare with other giants
Amazon sits among the largest US companies by market value, alongside names like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and Alphabet. Their order shifts frequently, so check a current market-cap table if you need a ranking.
How to check it yourself
- Search the company’s ticker (AMZN) on a major financial data site for live market cap.
- Read the latest annual report for revenue, income and equity.
- Look at the quarterly reports for the newest figures.
Bottom line
If a single number is wanted, use market cap: roughly $2 trillion or more in 2025, subject to daily change. For financial reality, read the filings. Everything here is based on reported 2024 and 2025 figures and will move.
Why investors care about more than the headline
Two companies with the same market cap can be very different businesses. For Amazon, analysts watch free cash flow, which is the cash left after operating costs and capital spending, because the company invests heavily in data centers, logistics and, more recently, artificial intelligence infrastructure. They also follow operating margin by segment, since cloud computing earns far higher margins than retail. If you are comparing Amazon with other firms, look at those measures alongside value. A big number is only the beginning of the story, and filings give you the rest.
