Considering the fact that AMAZON has never made any money. Except when they were given 500 million dollars from the CIA and bought the Washington Post for 268 million dollars. I'd say a guy that's never worked a day in his life is doing okay.
 
awesome deal for both, who really cares if you have 140b or a paltry 70B...Bezos is smart enough to realize there is no reason to fight and no downside. you can assume he retains control and just gave her 50B or something like that.

How does a guy start and operate a business without doing any work?

He was already 30+ years old when he started Amazon and had jobs before then.

she's still pretty hot, a Princeton grad, authored a couple of books, AND gave him 4 kids. I'd say his divorce is better than 95% of marriages out there.

Agree... she also married him before he launched Amazon and became a billionaire. They strike me as a very nice couple, with a nice family, that have decided what's best going forward is to part ways amicably. Rare in many respects.
 
I would rather be in his shoes rather than a 50 something year old worker at GM Oshawa
 
Not quite trophy wife - Lauren Sanchez is only 5 years younger than him: https://pagesix.com/2019/01/09/jeff-bezos-has-been-seeing-former-tv-anchor-lauren-sanchez/

What fuckin a moron. She has 2 kids as well. Not even close to the most desirable of women...

If you're going to go through the trouble of a divorce get a smoking hot, young, trophy wife that makes you feel like an alpha male... or stay married and stick to sugar babies/escorts under tight non-disclosure agreements.
 
IMHO this is all a scam, a pretext to sell a shitload of stock without panicking the market.
 
His wife gave Bezos a stable home life while he built Amazon, he should seriously reconsider marrying the woman that destroyed all of that. He should pay for dinner with Billy Joel and Johnny Depp and have a long blunt talk.

Maybe he should go the Howard Stern route. Alison filed for divorce, she created her own wealth and no longer could tolerate his neurosis. He got himself a trophy wife who's dead from the neck up and dependent on him. Look at the daggers coming out of her eyes toward a potential rival!
