Jeff Bezos' Historically Expensive Divorce Is Final -- Find Out What His Ex MacKenzie Got!

Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos’ marriage is officially dissolved.
The Amazon CEO’s ex-wife took to Twitter on Thursday to reveal that she has “finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff,” adding that she’s “looking forward to the next phase as co-parents and friends.”
As far as the division of their assets goes, it sounds like the tech tycoon is keeping the majority of their companies while MacKenzie is walking away with a nice slice of their $149 million net worth.

The novelist explained that she was “happy” to hand Jeff “all of” her interests in The Washington Post and Blue Origin — the aerospace company he launched in 2000 — as well as 75% of their Amazon stock. MacKenzie also noted that she was giving Jeff “voting control” of her Amazon shares “to support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies.”
Don’t feel too bad for the mother-of-four. She’s made it clear she’s “excited about [her] own plans” and is still holding onto a cool $35.6 billion in Amazon stock, making her the third-biggest shareholder at the company.

According to Bloomberg, the settlement would make the 48-year-old the fourth richest woman in the world. Jeff, meanwhile, remains the richest person in the world — even after losing $35.6 billion in company stock — and is still Amazon’s biggest shareholder, with a stake of about 12%.
Jeff also released a similar statement on Twitter Thursday, praising his ex as “an extraordinary partner, ally and mother.” He shared:

The division of the couple’s assets could’ve been messy due to how much they own. Aside from the billions in company stock, the Bezos’ have 400,000 acres of property and are two of the biggest landholders in the country.
But it looks like there’s no animosity between the two, who got married back in 1993 just 6 months after they met.
Like MacKenzie, Jeff has big plans for the future. Romantically speaking, he’s already dating TV personality Lauren Sanchez, the estranged wife of talent agent Patrick Whitesell.
As we reported, the two started seeing each other in 2018, after both separated from their respective spouses — but that didn’t stop the tryst from blowing up into a huge scandal when it was first reported on earlier this year.
At least the Bezoses managed to keep their split drama free!
