$10,000 a second? Amazon’s results could be amazing

The retailer's quarterly figures will have received a huge boost from lockdown sales

Amazon will tell the world soon just how much money it has made from the "unprecedented demand shift" to its site from millions of people under lockdown conditions around the world.

The retailer, which is run by the world's richest man, Jeff Bezos, will release its sales and profit figures for the first three months of the year (including the first few weeks of the lockdown in the UK and much of Europe and the US) on 30 April.
