How soon before Donnie starts hitting on Mrs. Bezos?

That would be as close to a billionaire as he’d ever be.

He’d be cowed by a woman that could buy him 100 times over.

Bezos was quoted in this months Reader’s Digest. The one right above points to ponder.

the great thing about ideas is that every new idea leads to two more. Ideas breed.

TFF!

I’m glad they are so amicable…however, I am a more vengeful spouse and she should have gotten 8%. Just sayin’…

Take him to the cleaners MacKenzie. Fuck Bezos.

There is a Devin Nunes angle on this story too? :wink:

Call me a socialist if you like, but no one merely engaging in business is providing genuine value worth this much money. The system is clearly broken.

Here’s the thing about property settlements at this level–once the offers get to a hundred million, and the ability to do literally anything you want for the rest of your life rather than continuing to litigate is presented to you, it’s hard to justify why you need more either to yourself or to a court. Much less when it gets to about thirty billion.

The only time that realization doesn’t happen is when the spouse is locked into a mindset where, if they can’t have the emotional intensity of love anymore, the intensity of hate seems infinitely preferable to feeling nothing at all. (Which, by the way, it isn’t–that nothing you were so fearing when you’re addicted to the emotional intensity is, in fact, one of the greatest feelings in the world when you get there).

Wow. A TPM headline uses a subordinating pronoun. I’m impressed.

She did! That’s why she really deserves so much!

This seems to be about the most amical split than could be imagined. No invective, just words of support and yes love for each other.

And he also had a great personality.

And MacKenzie also had a crush on a younger Jeff Bridges (for those special moments)

She’s getting a bundle and not being a bitch about the split. The nasty fight might have been good for TMZ so I’m glad there’s not going to be one.

After the divorce, Ms. Bezos will own roughly 4 percent of Amazon, a stake that was worth almost $36 billion on Thursday.

It’s worth it if people are willing to pay for it. Value is entirely subjective.

I would pay $500 NOT to go to a Hank Williams Jr concert. Some people would pay a scalper the same $500 for a front row seat. Which one of us has judged the value of the concert correctly?

I wasn’t sure what that meant and after googling you might not know exactly either! I think it should be a relative pronoun. It’s a conjunction that gets called subordinate. According to this anyway.

She’s getting $36B. Mrs. D will be green with envy.
