MGM Resorts International is not owned by Jeff Bezos or Amazon, as it operates as an independent, publicly traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MGM, with ownership distributed among institutional asset managers and public shareholders. However, a common point of confusion arises because Jeff Bezos's Amazon acquired a completely different corporate entity, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM Studios), the historic Hollywood film and television production company. Therefore, while Amazon owns the movie studio and its historic entertainment library, the massive hospitality and casino empire known as MGM Resorts remains an entirely separate corporate entity.
