Key Points

  • Thiel Macro’s latest quarterly filing lists an Amazon stake worth about $118 million as its largest position.

  • A $10,000 investment in Amazon 10 years ago is worth about $66,000 today, without a single dividend along the way.

  • Amazon’s annual net income has grown from $2.4 billion in 2016 to $77.7 billion in 2025.

Billionaire Peter Thiel’s hedge fund, Thiel Macro, reported its largest position of approximately $118 million in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) as of June 30. This investment demonstrates the significant appreciation of Amazon’s stock over the past decade, with a $10,000 investment in 2013 now valued at around $66,000—a remarkable return of about 555%.

Amazon’s financial growth is notable; its annual net income surged from $2.4 billion in 2016 to an expected $77.7 billion by 2025, largely driven by its cloud computing segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which saw revenues grow over tenfold to approximately $128.7 billion by 2025.
