The world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, and his, wife MacKenzie, have officially ended their 25-year-marriage after settling their divorce.
Jeff, 55, will keep 75 per cent of their Amazon stocks, leaving MacKenzie, 48, with just a quarter which represents a four per cent stake in the company worth around $32 billion at current value.
According to Daily Mail, Jeff’s 12 per cent stake is now worth around $100 billion which allows him to retain his title as the richest man in the world because he still has $4 billion more than Bill Gates. He will also take voting control of her remaining quarter and has been given her stock in The Washington Post and Blue Origin.
The pair announced the details in tweets on Thursday afternoon. But there was no mention of how they will divide their sprawling property portfolio or other investments and why they did not divide them equally.
