Bezos divorce is complete
The numbers are mind-blowing.

quote:
MacKenzie Bezos announced on Twitter on Thursday that she and Jeff Bezos have completed the process of dissolving their marriage, leaving her with $35.6 billion in Amazon stock.

MacKenzie Bezos said she was "happy" to be giving her ex-husband 75 percent of their stock in Amazon along with voting control of her shares. She also relinquished to him all of her interests in The Washington Post and the Blue Origin aerospace company.

The settlement would make her the fourth-richest woman in the world. She ranks behind Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, Alice Walton and Jacqueline Mars, according to Bloomberg.

See? It's not about eliminating inequality, we just need to make sure everyone has a sufficient amount.


MacKenzie gets it.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

Her company is my wife's client. I knew she was rich but I didn't know she was the richest woman in the world.

Well, no, he's not. He's in a relationship. Which is probably how they got to this divorce in the first place!
