How can you be so sure that she was not involved in any way?... I just read that they were married since 1993... Do you think she spent 26 years totally disconnected from her husband activities?... I am sorry, but I find that really hard to believe... I can only speak for myself but if the man I love has a business, I would want to be involved as much as I could and I would support him 100%... Do you really think that a woman that eats, sleeps, lives with a man is not supporting him in any way?... Again, I can only speak for myself, but I find that extremely hard to believe...

Yes, it is fair settlement if the settlements involve money earned while they were married. I am sure she contributed to his success and was invested somehow.

That woman deserves not only the money, but a prize... To be married for 26 years has to be everything but easy...
Nothing horrible about it... That woman deserves not only the money, but a prize... To be married for 26 years has to be everything but easy...

I met her once long ago at a Hedge Fund in NY, she's a smart lady and highly educated plus an author, so helping to build the corporation in this specific case she was actually short-changed I think, and yet she finally decided on the amount in the end. Bozo kept the WP and 75% of Amazon. She originally received about $35 billion and he held on to the major voting shares. Her net worth now escalated due to the natural progression of stock increases and what else she invested in. I'm sure there were some undisclosed side deals to seal the deal and provisions for kids. From what I know she was an equal partner and contributed a lot.

Correct. I made statements about the subject that I know nothing about. By doing that, I was certain that others would jump in and correct me at length. It makes for an informative discussion, and highlights people's willingness to be better informed than the next guy.

In the world of trading she's called the world's best trader..she bought in early and low and sold at the peak....And given how badly his employees are treated I can't imagine he's that nice to be married to either...

I'm sure the woman supported her ex in many other ways..He rooted around on her..She could of been greedy but she wasn't.That thing who posted her usual BS needs to stop believing the voices in her head.

You`d be surprised to know that he is just a useful puppet and that this amount of money belongs to ``the club`` As for how they`re gonna divide ``their wealth`` - im sure a new soap opera is on the horizont

Now if the west really was communist the only question would be whether they shoot them both. Which to be honest wouldn't bother me that much.

Shoot them both??? That's an awful thing to say about two people you know nothing about..or ever will.. You should listen to yourself..and how disturbed you make yourself seem sometimes!
