“世纪离婚”尘埃落定！贝佐斯前妻成世界第三大女富豪 Jeff Bezos: World's richest man agrees $35bn divorce

近日，亚马逊CEO贝佐斯前妻麦肯齐在社交媒体上宣布，她已经和贝佐斯达成了离婚协议。麦肯齐宣布放弃《华盛顿邮报》和太空探索公司蓝色起源(Blue Origin)的全部股权，只保留两人共同持有亚马逊股权的25%，并将所有股权的投票权授予贝索斯。根据《福布斯》计算，离婚后麦肯齐将成世界排名第三的女富豪，而贝佐斯仍然是全球第一大富豪。

The world's richest man, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and his wife MacKenzie have agreed a record-breaking divorce settlement of at least $35bn.

世界首富、亚马逊创始人杰夫-贝佐斯和妻子麦肯齐近日达成创纪录的离婚协议，前妻麦肯齐将分得至少350亿美元（约合人民币2351亿元）。

推文末尾说：“她非常机智、才华横溢、充满爱心，随着我们人生中下一个阶段的到来，我知道我将永远向她学习。”

Prior to the settlement, Mr Bezos held a 16.3% stake in Amazon. He will retain 75% of that holding but Ms Bezos has transferred all of her voting rights to her former husband.
