Question: how much money would you have if you invested in amazon?
Answer: If you invested a simple $100 in Amazon's IPO in 1997, you would have received five shares. That investment would have been worth $129,186 at the end of the trading day on Feb. 20, 2020, when shares closed at $2,153.10 each. That would yield an increase of more than 129,000% on the initial $100 investment.
