World’s richest man and CEO, Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has announced that he and his wife, MacKenzie, are divorcing.
Bezos, 54, made the joint announcement on Twitter. He revealed that him and his wife had been through a trial separation and have now decided to end their 25-year-old marriage.
According to Bezos, the divorce is amicable and they are grateful for the years they have been married to each other. He said they will remain a family and stay “cherished friends.”
He also adds: “If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.”
The couple got married in 1993 long before Bezos became rich. He actually became a millionaire in 1997. They live in Washington, which is a community property state and are blessed. That means any assets accrued during the marriage are split 50/50, unless there’s a prenup.
MacKenzie, 48, is an award-winning novelist. The couple have 4 children together.
Amazon is now the most valuable company on the planet reportedly worth nearly $810 BILLION!
Below is the joint divorce announcement shared on his Twitter handle.
