Amazon.com, Inc. founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos, the world`s richest man, and wife MacKenzie Bezos are set to split 25 years after their marriage. The couple made the announcement about their divorce on Twitter on Wednesday. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, 54-year-old Bezos' net worth stands at $137 billion. He owns about 16 percent of the retailer as well as the Washington Post and Blue Origin. Under the leadership of Bezos, Amazon had also become Wall Street`s most valuable company this week, surpassing Microsoft Inc.
What MacKenzie Bezos may get?
However, divorce is likely to reshape the global wealth ranking. According to a Bloomberg report, if the couple split their fortune equally, 48-year-old MacKenzie would get $69 billion, making her the world’s richest woman. This would also make Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates once again the world's richest man with a net worth of $92.5 billion.
The couple has a home in Washington where Amazon is also based out of. It is community property state, which means all property and debt acquired during a marriage “will be divided equitably by the court if the couple cannot negotiate an agreement,” according to the website of McKinley Irvin, a family law firm in the region. The state also has a mandatory 90-day cooling off period between the day a couple initially files for divorce and when it can be finalised by the judge.
