The World’s richest
man, Jeff Bezos, on Wednesday, announced his divorce from his novelist wife of
25 years, MacKenzie.
On his verified
Twitter handle, Bezos released a statement, signed by him and his soon-to-be
ex-wife, revealing their intention.
The couple’s statement
read, “We want to make people aware of a development in our lives.
“As our family and
close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial
separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as
friends.
“We feel incredibly
lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we
have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25
years, we would do it all again.”
“We’ve had such a
great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures
ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as
individuals pursuing ventures and adventures.
“Though the labels
might be different, we remain a family, and we remain cherished friends.”
Mr Bezos is the
richest man in modern history. His wealth increased by over $60billion between
2017 and 2018 which places his worth higher than that of Microsoft co-founder
Bill Gates, who has previously topped the rich lists – even at his peak in
1999.
Bezos is currently
worth $160bn.
