Seems like it's good for both parties.

She gets independence, likely a mid 20s male model or bodybuilder type bristling with testosterone. And is funny and fun to be around.

He gets a younger wife (or husband?) without all the baggage they have acquired over the years.

They will both be happier in the end, and they will both have plenty of money. Win win.

Eww, no. This latest model is a definite downgrade. Keep in mind those pics from the DailyFail posted above are from more than a decade ago. She's butchered her face with fillers and plastic surgery since then:

She's got some big fake knockers, which is cool I guess. Mackenzie Bezos has definitely had some work done as well, but she kept it much more restrained and tasteful.

you purposely picked a photo of her squinting to prove your point?

His wife has horse teeth.

I picked it because it was the most recent photo of her I've seen, from a few days ago at the Golden Globes afterparty. Besides, the squinting is the least of her problems there. Her lips are running at higher PSI than my tires. Here are some photos from the last few years that I guess are more flattering:

6 years ago

2 years ago

If anyone knows ol' Jeff could they call him and get him to fund the wall?
He has plenty of money and wouldn't miss it.

It would be a good project to do before the Big D and would be a winner all the way around.

I don't get all the sympathy for this guy. He traded in his wife for a newer model. The new plaything isn't hideous or anything, but that's not a 69 BILLION dollar piece of ass.

BUT...It's not like he's walking away destitute. He's not struggling to pay the electric bill, nor is he being forced to change his lifestyle.(Accept to accommodate the new plaything) He's still worth 69 BILLION dollars. The divorce is amicable. He's keeping most of the toys and stuff he had. And even if he didn't keep it, he can afford to replace it with new stuff.

For all we know, the wife might of been tired of his shit, and was cool with the divorce so she could go do her own thing. (with 69 BILLION dollars to do it with).

I think they will both be OK.

Take it back to straight contract law, no feels attached.

In a contract, terms are agreed upon with a specified penalty for breach of contract. Breach of contract is a legal cause of action and a type of civil wrong, in which a binding agreement or bargained-for exchange is not honored by one or more of the parties to the contract by non-performance or interference with the other party's performance.

The specified penalty for breach of (marital) contract (aka divorce) in California is an equal division of assets. Who breached the contract and thus incurred the specified penalty for breach of contract?

No such contract exists though. I agree it would be a great idea to negotiate such things in advance of getting married rather than assuming them.

Every woman has a different idea of what "wife" means and requires. Do not pretend everyone getting married believes the same things you do.

But looking at basic contract law takes all the feels out of it. The contract is the marriage license. The breach of contract is the divorce. The penalty for breach of contract is specified. Simple as that. Not feminist at all.

If she had an affair, she would be getting the exact same amount as she is now.

Funny how the breach of the "contract " is lucrative to one side.

That, I would not agree with.

ETA: and has she been the top earner, he’d still be getting half.

Not agree with what part?

If she cheated, the payout would be no different.

I know it’s the law in that state, but I don’t agree that the law is right in that circumstance. If the stay at home steps out, they are actively walking away from that lifestyle, not being kicked out the door into the gutter.

You don't agree with it, but that is how it is.

I know. And in this case, the wronged party is getting a payout. Sometimes it works in the wronged party’s favor, and sometimes it doesn’t.

It's the old curse of the savant. Bezos is a genius when it comes to internet logistics. But on everything else he's just an average schlub. Losing half your stuff to bang a 49 year old married MILF is trailer-park tier. If Bezos was getting divorced because pictures surfaced of his cocaine-fueled orgy with Victoria's Secret models - there but for the grace of God go I. But in this instance he's not the genius. He's the dumbass Marine young, dumb, and full of cum, and she's the Dependapotamus about to get dem bennies.

That was basically my point. I think a lot of people are under the mistaken impression that people on the Forbes 400 can just cut a check for billions of dollars. The vast majority of billionaires have their net worths tied up in equity in their own companies/companies their families built, and liquidating enough of that to pay off a big bill like this would reduce their control and/or cause the stock's value to take a hit. Bezos has been selling stock pretty consistently to the tune of a couple million shares a year, enough to get him ~$2 billion in 2017, but a big share of that is being plowed into Blue Origin.

Jesus. Do you really believe that women are that fragile and have to leech off a man to survive? Nobody gets "kicked into the gutter" anymore. It's 2019, women can work too. If your marriage falls apart, and you were a house husband or house wife, get a job.

its amazing that some believe a woman can be given everything she every said she wanted and then play the victim of her own desires, like a desire to not work and desire to have children.

He's been selling about 1-2 million shares a year on a pre-planned schedule, which should be plenty for "expenses." Selling an amount that significantly diminishes Bezos' control would probably hurt the value of the company quite a bit.

See my original quote. I expect they'll pull a Wynn and split the stock while she signs over the voting rights and agrees to restrict her sales (although things didn't go according to plan with Wynn obviously). Unless she really wants to break his balls, in which case she might demand a seat on the board and not sign over her voting rights.

His wife may not have earned half of Amazon - but Bezos essentially gave it away when he cheated on her.
If Bezos had been a real man, and he wasn't satisfied in their marriage, he would have divorced her rather than cheating on her and his kids.

The only "winners" in this situation are their lawyers. They've hit the jackpot.

Courts really should look closer when super high net worth divorces happen. Yeah, I get that for average Joes they just want to say fuck it and split shit in half, but when someone is an entrepreneur or artist or similar and builds something like Amazon, the courts should look closer at who built it. One of the reasons we had to wait so long for new Star Wars movies (and then they sucked) is because Lucas didn't want to share the proceeds with his ex, or at least that's the rumor. I don't care how good a spouse you are, Lucas wrote Star Wars. And Bezos built Amazon. And same for the women. Kylie Kardashian is likely going to be a billionaire soon. And she will likely marry some ghetto trash hip hop "artist" (if she hasn't already). When the inevitable divorce comes, she should keep her money as well.

If men want to continue having women support them and maintain a traditional feminine role, they need to accept and uphold their end of the agreement.

How did she help? Was Amazon her idea?

She was actually one of the very first "employees" of Amazon, so she definitely contributed to the success of the company. They BOTH quit their jobs at the investment company they worked for in order to start amazon.

It's impossible to quantify what she MIGHT have done on her own, just like it's impossible to say what his life would have been like without her.

Do you think he would have raised four children on his own while building amazon?

A nanny, a cook, and a maid would have cost him $100 grand a year, 150 tops.

And I'm sure he provided all of those to do the actual work for her anyway. From the money earned. At his business. Which she may have had a tiny part in building.

This.

Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

She doesn't give up her job, she's a "career" (said sneeringly) feminist and neglects her family. Why can't she just be a wife and mom?

She gives up her career, stays home to raise the kids, he wants a divorce later and she doesn't "deserve" anything because she just sat at home while HE did all the real "work."

I remember a thread—probably a few years ago—where some guys were arguing that even women who put their husbands through college (working to support him as he studies) and/or gave up their careers (with the urging/agreement of husband) to take care of kids fulltime deserved NOTHING if there was a divorce* because sucks to be her, she took the risk, tough shit, nobody forced her.

*This assumes the divorce was not caused by her cheating on him or otherwise being a horrible wife.

Yes, the stay at home can get a job. But not nearly as good a job as if they’d spent those years building their career rather than caring for hearth and home.

This is the narrative I've seen here:

She could have a career, but women who focus on careers are not "good wife material." "Why can't she be happy staying home and raising my kids?" they opine. No, daycare is no good. They don't want some strangers taking care of the kids so the wife can continue her career. They want the mother to be at home!

But when there's a divorce, it's like, "She shouldn't get half of what I EARNED and she did NOTHING!!!"

Either having kids raised by their mom is worth something, or it isn't. If it isn't, don't bitch when she puts the kids in daycare and doesn't miss a day of work so she can aggressively build her career over the years. If it's worth something, then don't bitch when you get a divorce (again, assuming she wasn't cheating or being a horrible wife) and she ends up getting her "share."

When I originally read this thread and commented I admittedly didn't know enough about them.
It's always a [guy's] knee jerk reaction to get mad at the thought of a woman taking half his shit in a divorce.
But... in practical terms, either one of them has more money than he could ever spend or two people have more money that either could ever spend together OR divided in half.
It's not really the same as some blue collar guy who loses half of his shit... which might not even amount to $200,000.
But when it's billions (not millions... BILLIONS), does it really matter?

I can't even begin to imagine what I would do with $1 billion. If they each end up with $65 billion, that's still an INSANE amount of money. And that's what they walk away with. How much money does that money make just being there? If you took half of my burger... I'll still be hungry. If you take half of the food at an all you can eat buffet, I'm still good.

From this point forward, every woman that fucks him will be doing it for the money. He can get divorced 5 more times and still be a billionaire.

He literally lived with this chick on the road for a year and his wife feigned to notice.

ENQUIRER EXCLUSIVE!
Cheating Tech Boss Jeff Bezos Sent Mistress Lauren An X-Rated ‘D*Ck Pic’

So-called tech genius Jeff Bezos sent a series of sleazy photos, X-rated selfies and explicit texts across the internet — all behind wife MacKenzie’s back!

In a stunning new revelation as part of the The National ENQUIRER Opens a New Window. ’s blockbuster exposé, we can reveal the Amazon founder — worth an eye-watering $144 billion — was so smitten with his mistress, Lauren Sanchez, the wife of powerful Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell, that he literally lost his pants!

A cache of lewd selfies taken by Bezos and seen by reporters from The ENQUIRER are so shocking we dare not print them — but their existence could devastate his standing in the upper ranks of the tech world.

What’s more, the horndog e-commerce mogul even sent Sanchez a below-the-belt selfie — otherwise colloquially known as a “d*ck pic” — in an unsparing close-up that’s too explicit to describe in detail.

Indeed, The Enquirer’s editors decided not to publish the image or details about it out of respect to the billionaire’s privacy.

Either she trusted her husband to behave himself when he was out of her sight ( how many men have been duped for months or even years?), or she was pulling a Stepford until he came to her and told her he was leaving her for another man’s wife.

In my experience, it's been the absolute refusal to work from the woman so she can "tend the home", meanwhile he comes home from work with the house dirty, no food, money spent, and the kid with her mom.
9 times out of 10 here in the south, it's what I've witnessed. They say that's the culture and want to not work while also being a strong woman and not doing housework because "feminism".
