Carnival Chairman and major stockholder Micky Arison sold 212,474 shares of Carnival stock on Friday, September 19th at an average price of $40.22 for a total of $8,545,704.28, according to the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Yes, this is a serious amount of money. But its peanuts for this cruise tycoon. 

By last June, Arison had unloaded over $490,000,000 of Carnival stock in a little over 3 months.

Arison is the richest person in Florida. He’s worth between 5 and 6 billion dollars.

I was interviewed in a special about him last year.
