Jeff Bezos reaches divorce settlement, keeps 75 percent of couple's Amazon shares

Amazon's Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie Bezos at the Oscars Vanity Fair Party in Beverly Hills, California on Feb. 26. 2017.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Amazon's founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie Bezos, have reached a divorce settlement.

The world's wealthiest person, whose portfolio includes The Washington Post, and MacKenzie Bezos announced the dissolution of their marriage in separate statements on Twitter. MacKenzie Bezos said she will give Jeff Bezos all of her interests in the Post and his space exploration company, Blue Origin, and 75 percent of their Amazon stock, as well as voting control of her shares to “support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies.”

"Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness,"

Bezos and his wife were married for 25 years, and Washington is a community property state. Her walking away with 25% of the shares is not a “loss” but less than what she is entitled to by law. Gender bias, anyone?
