Jeff Bezos reviews his fiancée Lauren Sanchez's new children's book on Amazon

>YFW she got New Zealand in the divorce

Yeah, but if you want to be rich, you have to have the mindset that every penny counts and that there is no such thing as "too much" or even "enough". If he had to pay out $38 billion in a settlement, even if his ex-wife did not get half his assets and it was an amicable divorce, that still stings. And investors in Amazon are going to want guarantees that there won't be any more such payments in the future, so either Sanchez will have to agree to a very stringent pre-nup, or he'll just keep going on with her as his 'fiancée' but never formally get married.

>Because their divorce jurisdiction was in Kings County in Washington State, no Las Vegas divorce attorneys were involved in the Bezos' divorce. However Washington State, like Nevada, is a community property state. ...In a very general sense, community property means that all assets and debts during the marriage are held jointly by the couple regardless of who earned the asset or incurred the debt.

>A pre or post-nuptial agreement supersedes community property laws. It's been widely reported that the Bezos' did not have a prenuptial agreement. They met in 1992 and married within a year which was prior to Amazon's founding in 1994. What is less well-known is whether they had any post-nuptial agreement.

>Las Vegas divorce attorney Jennifer Abrams noted, "We routinely deal with high asset divorces. Given the apparent financial circumstances at the time of marriage, it is not surprising that there was no prenuptial agreement. The financial acquisitions during the marriage, however, raise a question as to whether or not a post-nuptial agreement was in place. Numerous private investment firms contributed heavily into Amazon before it went public. In order to minimize investor uncertainty, it's a standard practice to execute a post-nuptial agreement detailing what happens in the event of divorce." she said.

>...Although it appears that MacKenzie Bezos did not receive half the marital assets, her 4% stake in Amazon is still worth approximately 38.3 billion dollars. That does not include any other liquid, real estate, or other assets she may have received.

The ex-Mrs Bezos didn't get greedy and the divorce was amicable, Suppose he marries Sanchez and in a couple of years she decides she wants to break up and she is greedy and fights for half the fortune? Way too much of a risk.

Rockefeller was the richest man in real dollars. At least the richest man known to the public.
