Jeff Bezos gives his ex-wife $35 billion, and still doesn't lose title as wealthiest man in the world. Even after the settlement he is still worth $110 billion. On Nov 24, 2017 Jeff Bezos was the first person in the world to be worth $100 billion, so his divorce settlement only represents the increase of his wealth in the last year and a half.

It seems that she Mackenzie happy with only 25% of their shared interest in Amazon, and she freely gave up any interest in The Washington Post and Blue Origin. The settlement leaves her the third wealthiest woman in the world. The 4th wealthiest is worth only $24 billion (Jacquelline Mars).

The two wealthiest women in the world are ages 65 and 69.


So Mackenzie at age 48 is the third richest, but considerably more attractive (and newly single)


Yang Huiyan is only in her 30's, but she is worth $26 billion, but has been married since 2008

So, even if Bezos paid a high priced prostitute 2k every day of his marriage just to be on call, he would have saved a bundle of money,

I don't know why more rich wealthy men don't realize this.

Maybe because they are already married by the time they get to be rich?
Or perhaps because the phrase is trophy wife rather than trophy Rent a Broad?

Trophy Rent a Broad?

Nah.

Get a trophy wife and a pre-nup. Solves both problems.

$35 billion / 25 years is $2.66K per minute (not per day)

They have a very amicable divorce, and four children. I don't think he feels like that.

But I was pointing out the approximate savings, assuming a suggested price of 2k not how much value he could get in prostitutes instead. The only thing I wasn't sure of, is what is the going rate of a high priced prostitute.

In Pretty Woman in 1992 Julia Roberts asks for $3000 for the week, and that includes room and board. That is about $5500 in today's buying power. But she was not really high priced, she was pretty street.

I understand that prostitutes in Manhattan that you can take to a nice restaurant or a party and no one knows they are a prostitute could cost $10K per day.

Mackenzie Bezos just got one of the largest fortunes in the world. Sheldon Adelson was estimated at $35.1 billlion in January, and he was ranked #24 in the world. Naturally that is going to dwarf any income from any job in the world.

I'd say I would check into that but (a) I am not doing something illegal, (b) I cannot afford $10k and (c) sex is not important to me at all

Do you think your job as a divorce lawyer has in some large way led to this?
