Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, are divorcing.

The billionaire executive announced the news Wednesday in a tweet signed by both of them. Jeff Bezos, 54, and MacKenzie Bezos, 48, had been married 25 years.

“We want to make people aware of development in our lives. As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends,” the tweeted statement says.

Value of Amazon may become diluted. He no longer will be the richest man in the world and his soon to be ex-wife net worth will rise significantly.

How do you know the results of the agreements?
Just curious.

I do not have any inside information but if this divorce goes to court, Jeff could be in trouble.

Seems to be very amicable. They said if they had known that they would get divorced after 25 years of marriage they would do it all over again.

Let’s say he didn’t have a prenuptial and his wife gets half the assets. Bezos will drop from being the richest man in the world to being the 5th richest person in the world. I wouldn’t call that “trouble”. To be able to lose half your assets and still be the 5th richest person on the planet is what I call “doing alright”. :)

To obtain a divorce, it always goes to court. For a judge must sign off on it.

Not if she signed a prenup.

Or takes “ rockets “ over delivery. Remember now. Amazon has never been profitable.

Jeff's net worth is based on stock price, not profits.

I never said it wasn’t. Show me just one quarter where Amazon without increasing its debt, earned at least one dollar per share. Just one quarter.

I just peeked. Quarter ending sept30 3018 he took on 59 million more long term debt, while assets vs liabilities puts him in the hole by the amount of $7,888,000,000

Yeah and if they've been together 25 years and it's an amicable split, he wouldn't leave her high and dry anyway.

I wouldn't be so sure.....
