As of November 30, 2025, there is no record that Jeff Bezos has sold The Washington Post. Major coverage of the paper throughout 2025 continues to describe it as owned by Jeff Bezos, including Reuters on January 7, 2025, reporting layoffs at “the organization, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,” and referring to no change in ownership. (reuters.com) The Washington Post’s own February 26, 2025 story about shifting its opinion section explicitly calls Bezos the paper’s owner with no mention of a sale. (washingtonpost.com) Business Insider’s May 2025 coverage of buyouts similarly treats Bezos as the current owner during restructuring. (businessinsider.com)

In addition, reporting on speculation about a possible sale consistently notes that Bezos or his representatives say the Post is not for sale, including a New Yorker article in May 2025 stating he recently told an interested buyer that it is not for sale, and earlier coverage of Commanders-related rumors where a Bezos spokesperson said the Post is not for sale. (newyorker.com) There is no credible report of any completed sale in 2025, which would almost certainly attract extensive media coverage.

However, because the prediction specifies “during calendar year 2025” and the year has not yet ended as of the current date (November 30, 2025), it is still theoretically possible—though seemingly unlikely—that a sale could occur in December 2025. Therefore, with the deadline not yet passed, the prediction cannot be definitively graded as right or wrong and is best classified as inconclusive (too early to tell).
