Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos apparently celebrated the close of Prime Day on Tuesday by standing on top of the Amazon spheres, a group of three giant glass-enclosed structures at the company’s headquarters in Seattle.
The billionaire founder of Amazon posted a photo of himself to Instagram on Tuesday wearing climbing ropes and an Amazon-branded hard hat at the top of one of the three spheres, which stand up to 95 feet high.
He held a sign over his head that read: “THANK YOU.”

"I love my job and tap dance into work every day, but not usually on top of The Spheres," Bezos wrote in a caption accompanying the photo. "Huge thank you to Prime members everywhere and to the incredible Amazonians who made Prime Day work."
Amazon on Wednesday declared Prime Day the biggest shopping event in its history, with sales surpassing those of Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
Amazon said it sold more than 175 million items over the 48-hour event, which started Monday. Last year, the event lasted 36 hours, during which Amazon sold about 100 million items.
