To those wondering if this is a secondary purchase, the keyword I see here is 'Invests'. It is very different from "Saudi Prince buys $300m worth of Twitter shares".

Buying $300m worth of Twitter stock would be an investment.

In any reasonable scenario, he is purchasing shares of stock in a company on the hopes their value will rise. Doesn't matter who he is purchasing them from, it's still an investment.

I wouldn't take such nuances for granted in a random headline.
