Jack Ma, the billionaire co-founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, has sold more than $5 billion worth of shares in the company over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Ma, who founded Alibaba in 1999, has been gradually selling off his stake in the company in recent years. He now owns about 8 percent of Alibaba, down from 10 percent in 2016.<\/p>\n

The sale comes as Alibaba prepares for a huge initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which is expected to value the company at up to $120 billion.<\/p>\n

Ma has been using the proceeds from the sale of Alibaba shares to invest in a variety of businesses and causes. In January, he announced a $1.6 billion investment in Chinese tech firm Cainiao. He has also given billions of dollars to charity.<\/p>\n
