$32 billion? 😱

I think it is $35 billion upon further review and she could have gotten more.

According to google, Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $149.2 billion USD, so yeah, it's a decent chunk of change, but he won't be going hungry anytime soon.

Weird, I thought the spouse often got half...

A maximum 20% capital gains rate in the USA. If I were her I would sell tomorrow and take the 80% of $35 billion.

True, he ain't gonna go hungry, but damn that's a lot of change. $32 million is a lot.

true! and its not like a billion is a bit more than a million , its a thousand times more!!
its just an inconcieveable amount of money!

would you like a million dollars?
She could give 34 thousand people a million dollars each , and she'd still have a thousand millions left!!

I think if i got to the point of a billion in the bank i'd just be giving anything more that came in to charity..
how could you possibly make use of it otherwise?

She should've gotten half.

Just posted at the same time as you
Were her lawyers dopes..?

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

She definitely deserves it for putting up with him for all those years!

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77378) 6 years ago

Now, now Stratego...are you 'funny-looking-shaming' Jeff Bezos?

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

Nothing to do with his looks. He's a cheater and just seems an a-hole in general.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77378) 6 years ago

Oh, I did not know about the cheating

How the hell did her lawyers not rake him over the coals if he was the one wrecking the marriage?

Very odd

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

Yes, it is strange. There's probably more more to it than we know.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77378) 6 years ago

Probably more than we need to know...marriages are weird territory to delve into

Hey, $35 Billion is a solid retirement plan😉

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

Hmm, he's still got more than $108 billlion left. I might give him a call!

We should all be so fortunate as to divorce Jeff Bezos.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77378) 6 years ago

Why not!?!

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

What about Wayne ??

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

Still haven't heard back from him.😑

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

Why, is he awful? Aside from starting Amazon, I don't know anything about him.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I think he owns the Washington DC newspaper so he has some media sway, I guess. I know that him and Trump hate each other.

EDIT: I should clarify that I say this merely to provide some information about Bezos. It is not my intention to incite a political dumpster fire.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

I appreciate your edit, Moose. I'm so not interested in any political dumpster fires 😀

reply

[–] Stratego (30498) 6 years ago

He's a cheater! And I just don't like all these CEO's being political activists.

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

Oh, I didn't know that. Then she should have gotten half!!!!1

I'm tired of politics period, so, yeah 😶

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

She did considering there was no pre-nuptial

Sure why not? It couldn't be worse than doing something I hate for the rest of my life and never make a fraction of that. Hell, I'd bet my husband would have sex with him for that amount of cash.
