Jeff Bezos & MacKenzie Scott: ~ $38 Billion Settlement
Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos met novelist MacKenzie Scott and married her 6 months later, even before their lucrative business had started. In 2019, the two announced that they were divorcing after 25 years of marriage and 4 children together.
Scott’s settlement made her grab the number 4 spot among Forbes’ women billionaire’s list as she got $38 billion! She actually got 25% of Amazon’s stock worth that much money, and she announced that she intended to donate at least half of this money.
