His ex-wife must have had something she wanted to keep away from the tabloids...
Otherwise, she could have gotten half of everything. She was there from the beginning at Amazon.
An old friend of mine was the lead divorce attorney for the wife of Craig McCaw here in Seattle in the late 90’s and at the time was the richest divorce settlement in history.
Basically when they split the sheets the deal was that he agreed to allow her to invest in all of his future ventures as a partner so that if he made money, she made money.
