She will have a 4% stake in Amazon and he will have 12%, meaning he remains the largest shareholder as well as gaining voting control of his former wife's shares.The Amazon shares will make her the world's third-richest woman while Mr Bezos, 55, will remain the world's richest person, according to Forbes.
So Mrs Bezos - what first attracted you to the incredibly wealthy Mr Bezos
Girl power
Information on any thing is so easily available, thanks to the internet but so few bother to access. Most of the comments lend credence to this
Is she on Plenty of Fish?
Regardless of who is at fault for the breakdown of the marriage, that divorce settlement is obscene. Is it any wonder marriage rates are shrinking the way they are?
Not easy to be that rich and married . Happiness isn't necessarily having fortune . just another proof
LoL

She has a name. She is an individual not just an add on to her (ex) husband. Will we see a Mr Bezos gets divorced headline!
Women problem is, that they get same money for 3 sets, men play 5. Women get jobs because they are women, not because they know something, men have to work for a living. Men are barred from Universities so that more Women can be admitted. Planet of the apes is here truly well.
Is that all the media cares about? She didn't get a divorce because she wanted money.
Now there's a surprise
She’s just been given $35bn but I bet he still has to pay child support.
Male privilege.. 😉
Divorce - easiest way to make tonnes of money without doing much.
What did she do in the relationship to get his money? I'd sure like to know? Oh..cant he cooked his meals they have a chef for that, oh the children they have a nanny for that, oh gave him moral support..well that's something he could have got from family! Good for her!
even the world's richest person is not happy with his life, money will only bring stress not happinees
