The Bezos Divorce Settlement This Week
Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2019 7:53 amJeff Bezos is worth about $157B right now but his ex wife is due to recieve about $38B of that in amazon stock. Its the greatest transfer of wealth in history.
NOTE: There was no prenup in that marriage and they were married in Washington State (a community property state) so she could have held out for 1/2 of everything.
