This is How Much Jeff Bezos Will Get in His Divorce

Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie Bezos announces not too long ago that they would be getting a divorce.

Well the numbers are in and in the divorce settlement, the Amazon chief executive will be getting 75% of Amazon stock along with voting control.

MacKenzie has granted her husband the stake as well as her interests in The Washington Post and in Blue Origin, an aerospace company.

MacKenzie walks away from the settlement becoming one of the five richest women on the planet while Jeff remains the richest person.

MacKenzie will be left with $35.6 billion in Amazon stock and said she was “happy.” Well I would hope so!
An SEC filing has revealed that MacKenzie will retain shares representing about 4 percent of Amazon’s outstanding common stock, making her the third-biggest shareholder at the company.

“I’m grateful for her support and for her kindness in this process and am very much looking forward to our new relationship as friends and co-parents,” said Jeff.

MacKenzie took to her Twitter and wrote, “Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness, and looking forward to next phase as co-parents and friends. Happy to be giving him all of my interests in the Washington Post and Blue Origin, and 75% of our Amazon stock plus voting control of my shares to support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies. Excited about my own plans. Grateful for the past as I look forward to what comes next.”
