Last Friday, July 5, a Washington state district judge signed papers that ended the most expensive divorce in history - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and wife Mackenzie Bezos after 25 years of marriage.
- The parties announced a divorce by mutual agreement in January. The accompanying scandal came from outside and was initiated by an old enemy of Bezos in the publishing business (the businessman owns the Washington Post). We talked about this scandal with intimate selfies, blackmail and the trail of Saudi Arabia here .
- After the divorce, Mackenzie Bezos will receive a quarter of Jeff Bezos' share in Amazon - 4% for $ 38.3 billion. This will immediately take her to 22nd place in the Bloomberg billionaires ranking and third place in the list of the richest women in the world.
- At this place, the ex-wife of Bezos will not stay long - she decided to donate half of the amount to charity under the Giving Pledge of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
- Jeff Bezos will have 12% of Amazon for $114.8 billion and the title of the richest person on the planet.
- About the personality of Mackenzie Bezos - a writer and a fighter against bullying - we wrote in detail here .
