In her 25 years of marriage to Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Bezos has been a loyal ambassador for Amazon, the company that made her and her husband the richest couple in the world.
She was an integral part of its origin story, driving to Seattle in 1994 while Mr. Bezos sat in the passenger seat, working on the nascent company’s business plan. She was Amazon’s first accountant and was involved in its transformation from a small online bookseller to the e-commerce behemoth it is today, the second company in American history to be valued at over a trillion dollars.
Ms. Bezos, 48, is a novelist. But Amazon has defined her public image almost wholly. The announcement this week that she and her husband would be getting a divorce may soon change that. A statement signed “Jeff & MacKenzie,” which was first posted to Mr. Bezos’s Twitter account, read: “After a period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.”
The couple, who have four children, wrote that they see “wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.”
Over the last few decades, as Amazon grew, Ms. Bezos appeared with her husband at some high-profile events, including Vanity Fair’s Oscar parties and the Golden Globes; in 2012, she was a host of the Met Gala. (Amazon also underwrote the event.) But for the most part, Ms. Bezos has guarded her privacy, preferring to focus on writing and her children. She could not be reached for comment on this article.

“Working hard qualifies a person for half of Amazon’s assets?”
She is not getting half of Amazon’s assets.
How can a guy so smart in so many ways not know how terrible an idea this is?
Omg! You need to hang out with secret agent man here and drink and rip all womankind together!
Seriously, you don’t like the family unit of civilization? You wish men and women to each be islands earning their own keep, and babies to be whisked away by institutions and raised? Do explain.
I read on another site that if you want to impress a woman send her a picture of your dog, not your d-—.
Her short hair picture is from years ago, she will “chop off” about 77 BILLION from Bozo due to his remarkable stupidity for sending di$k pics to his “girlfriend”,and other laughable messages.
How is it “spying” if she checked the passenger list of THEIR plane?
She is hardly looting, WA recognizes community property.
There’s also no excuse for cutting off a spouse. That is also infidelity. Being unfaithful to a vow. They all forget that part of the vows.
How about all the other women who worked hard while they were at Amazon and didn’t get to live the high life like she did?
How much should they get?
I guess this comment is your try for humor, the other women should get their salaries and stock options if they qualify, but you knew that.
She was spying on him. Creeping around. Bezos sucks, but she’s no good either.
It doesn't matter how pretty she is, if she's not making an effort to make him happy.
My wife would never have made Playboy Playmate of the Year, but for over 30 years she's made an effort to keep me happy
Not sure who “they” are who forget that part.
And I agree ... willfully “cutting off” your spouse is wrong and inexcusable.
If you think your spouse is cheating, what are you supposed to do? Just shut up and take it?
Garbage!
I hope she coss him an arm and a leg.
MacKenzie Bezos can become Mrs. Oldeconomybuyer the day her divorce from JB is final.
I’m series!
Definitely. In the middle of the day, you check a text, and it’s someone’s adorable pooch: you smile, go back to what you were doing, a little happier. If you check that text and it is someone’s weinis, it’s like getting a bucket of ice water thrown at you and you are annoyed as you go about your day. Go with the dog.
What’s up with Dr. Evil’s lazy eye?
Been four years and I still cannot completely forgive. Dont care if I ever speak to her again.
So Bozo just lost 77 billion dollars so he can be periodically made “happy”.
Did Bozo make an effort to make his wife happy?
I would rather live in a small apartment with somebody whose company made me happy, than in a mansion with somebody who did not.
Your mileage may vary.
He may have lost half, but the $77B he still has, is still a lot of money, and he is now free to spend time with whoever he pleases.
Absolutely.
Not the woman behind the man. The woman beside the man.
Lex Luthor found a way to drop even lower in my estimation.
She’s gorgeous too. She’d likely had it.
