After the most expensive divorce in the world, MacKenzie Bezos gives up her fortune

It seems that MacKenzie Bezos, who reaped a fortune from her divorce from the richest man in the world, has decided to give up this wealth.

McKinsey's fortune after the divorce from Jeff is about $37 billion.

In a statement, Bezos' ex-wife said, "In addition to the assets that life has given me, I have a lot of money to donate."

With this, Bezos' ex-wife joins a list of the wealthy who have donated huge fortunes to charitable causes, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife, as well as American businessman, Warren Buffett, who launched their donation campaign in 2010. The initiative calls on the wealthy to donate more than half of their wealth, whether they are alive or in their wills.

The divorce between Bezos and his wife was the most expensive separation. On April 5, Amazon announced that Bezos, its founder and CEO, had finalized his divorce from his wife, MacKenzie, and had given her a separate stake in the online shopping giant.

MacKenzie Bezos was scheduled to receive 4 percent of Amazon after the divorce proceedings.

Prior to the split, Jeff Bezos had a 16 percent stake in Amazon worth more than $140 billion, making him one of the world's richest individuals.

It is noteworthy that the sudden announcement of the couple’s separation after 25 years of marriage in January raised several questions about ways to share the wealth of the world’s richest people, which Forbes estimates at about $150 billion, as well as the ways to run a company whose value in the stock market is currently $890 billion. .

Although the couple owns several properties in Seattle, Washington, Texas and Beverly Hills in particular, the bulk of their wealth is based on their 16% stake in “Amazon” in the company’s capital.

McKinsey met Jeff in 1992 before he founded his company in the garage of their family home, and the latter turned into an e-commerce giant. She was among the first to work there.

Jeff Bezos, 55, who is usually secretive about his personal life, made headlines after announcing his divorce in January, before the National Enquirer revealed his relationship with another woman.
