Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos said that he will divorce his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie Bezos, in a tweet on Wednesday.

"As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends," the couple wrote in the statement.

"If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again," it continued.

Bezos is probably trading her in for a younger model.

Who gets the dog?

A generalization that is so true.

It's said that Amazon drivers are under so much pressure to deliver on time, they can't use a rest room, so they use a bottle they keep in the truck.

... This may be a twist on the business plan.

She just discovered the CIA mic in the closet. /s

"...peeing in a bottle..."

Amazon workers have reportedly taken to keeping a large plastic drink bottle at their workstations so they can pee without having to get a half-dozen management approvals first.

Ah, thank you. Got it now.

The warehouse workers also work under abysmal conditions.

I work part time at UPS, in the packing sort area. Shifts usually run from 3-5 hours, and I couldn't imagine having to do that work for 10 hours a day, five days a week.

Since things didn’t work out with me and Tiger’s ex-wife...this is encouraging news

[Vigilanteman]

How old is Bezos? I thought he was under 40. Being married 25 years would mean he was 15 at the time.

[treetopsandroofs]

Thanks, I’d only heard that about Uber drivers until now.

[kosciusko51]

He’s 54.

“after a long period of loving exploration “

Dr Evil at his finest. Scumbag

“thought he was under 40”

Good plastic surgery.

You mean money can’t buy happiness?

[I want the USA back]

She’s going to get a whole lot of money. Could that be an incentive to look for a younger man? new squeeze plus a billion or so in cash?

[dynachrome]

Wiki sez he is 54

[marktwain]

It appears to be very difficult to be extremely wealthy, and stay married.

[bigbob]

Wonder how she’d feel about paying for the wall out of her divorce settlement just to rub it in?

[SeekAndFind]

So, how many percent of Bezos’ money does she get by law?
