I can't be the only one who thinks Bezos wife looks way less ugly than the Sanchez broad.

^she definitely appeared more wholesome, and I personally think she looked pretty good for her age. Not a dimepiece by any means but she had his back and helped with the come up, you can’t put a price on that. Bezos is another lesson in how money can’t buy game or succes with women

Vice is a hipster garbage can, and their attempt at a tech publication was worse.

It's not "misgendering" them. Even in their own framework, the real issue is that it's not gendering them at all. It's sexing them. Correctly.

I remember someone was talking to me about an issue at Adult Film Internet Database once back in 2012. Some transwomen porn stars were pissed at the programming for searching for trans-women pornstars because it labeled them as males and threw a fit.

Has the media buried this yet?

It's done. From BBC:

Quote:The world's richest man, Jeff Bezos, and his wife MacKenzie have agreed a record-breaking divorce settlement worth at least $35bn (£27bn).

Ms Bezos will retain a 4% stake in online retail giant Amazon which her husband of 25 years founded.

She will also give up her interests in the Washington Post newspaper and Mr Bezos' space travel firm Blue Origin.

The deal dwarfs a previous $3.8bn record set by art dealer Alec Wilderstein and his wife Jocelyn.

Ms Bezos made the announcement in a tweet - her first and only one since joining the microblogging website this month - stating that she was "grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage to Jeff with support from each other".

Prior to the settlement, Mr Bezos held a 16.3% stake in Amazon. He will retain 75% of that holding but Ms Bezos has transferred all of her voting rights to her former husband,

The couple, who havve four children, had been together since before Mr Bezos set up Amazon in 1994, with Ms Bezos employed as one of the firm's first members of staff.

Amazon is now vast online retail business which last year generated sales of $232.8bn and has helped Mr Bezos and his family amass a $131bn fortune, according to Forbes magazine.

Ms Bezos is a successful novelist who has written two books, The Testing of Luther Albright and Traps, and was taught by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison at Princeton University and who once said of her pupil that she was "one of the best students I've ever had in my creative-writing classes... really one of the best".

The settlement is the biggest since Mr Wilderstein and his wife, who became well-known for her cosmetic surgery, divorced in 1999.

Mr Bezos is reportedly in a relationship with former Fox TV host Lauren Sánchez.

After Mr Bezos and his wife announced in January that they would part, a US tabloid magazine published details, including private messages, of an extramarital affair with Ms Sánchez.

Mr Bezos has accused the publisher of the magazine, American Media Incorporated, of blackmail. The publisher denies the claim.

And like that, we have created the richest woman in the world. So brave!

She was there from the start, supported him and popped out four kids with him.

Not that it justifies an eye watering $35 BILLION payout....

But at least she isn't just some random gold digging whore.

Ms bezos, not looking to bad. I wonder if she’s going to thot away.

No higher than 4th. Can't forget the women with fortunes made selling cosmetics to women or inheriting other, older stakes.

I was really hoping MacKenzie would take him to the cleaners--at least 2/3 to 3/4 of all his stuff. I am disappointed that she called a truce so easily.

She's still going to live a comfortable life, of course.

What is she hiding? What did she fear might come out if this divorced had gotten ugly? What kind of dirt did they have on her?

MacKenzie is not the oldest woman in the world. Alice Walton is ahead of her, and so is a female heir to the L'Oreal fortune.

Well, let's think about the basis for which she'd get half.

Did she build Amazon? Unlikely.
Did she develop the technology? Unlikely.
Did she raise the kids? Unlikely, she was a "novelist", maids and nannies would have been doing all that.

So where is her 50% effort to contribute to the marriage?

Plus the fact she got 35 fucking billion and still has to sell her shit novels to female writers. Can't do that if you're tagged with the 'richest woman in the world by way of divorce settlement', women don't like gold diggers even if she wasn't one.

That aside - other reason might well be because Mackenzie and Jeff probably know exactly how little Amazon is really worth.

God save us from people who mean well. -storm

White Sharia now.

The funny thing is that even after paying her 35 billion dollars, Jeff Bezos is still the richest man in the world.

Post: #242

We forget that a divorce really isn't over until the kids are eighteen years old. She can always hall Jeff back into court for more child support and alimony.

I know a guy who didn't lose much in his divorces. He lost a lot more in future child-support cases. It was about $250,000.

A wife taking 1/4 of the current wealth with an agreement not to bust up or have any interest or involvement in the husband's future ventures seems like a perfectly a acceptable agreement.

Regular men wouldn't be scared to marry at all if all the divorcee wife got was less than half of the current marital assets and no alimony or egregious child support and no interest in the husband's future earnings (pensions, ongoing business ventures, imputed income...)
