The world's richest man's hundreds of billions of dollars in assets were divided up!

Just on January 7, Amazon defeated Microsoft and Apple to become the world's most valuable company . Its market value at the close of the day was approximately US$783.4 billion . In the first four trading days of this year, Amazon's stock price has risen by 8.5%.

This achievement is attributed to my brother-in-law's earlier diversified strategic layout , including the growth and bright prospects of emerging businesses such as cloud computing, e-commerce, advertising and smart assistants. It has become the most favored company by Wall Street . Thanks to the favor of the capital market, Amazon's stock price has soared to this point.

Amazon CEO Bezos (our familiar brother-in-law) once again took the throne of the richest man, and his net worth once rose to 124.5 billion US dollars!

But his brother-in-law's position as the richest man changed dramatically just two days after he took office. On January 9, Bezos announced on social media that he would divorce his wife (MacKenzie Bezos), who he had been with for 25 years.

The long article stated that after the brother-in-law and his wife MacKenzie had tried to explore love and even separated, the two decided to divorce, but they will continue to get along as close friends and even family in the future. "Even if we knew at the time that we would be separated in 25 years, we would still choose to be together."

Their marriage has always been envied by the outside world. McKinsey was one of the first employees of Amazon. Even before my brother-in-law founded Amazon, the two had met at the bank. After marriage, McKinsey, as his wife, was the most staunch supporter and participant of my brother-in-law's entrepreneurship. According to media reports, a considerable part of Amazon's early business plans were finalized by my brother-in-law and his wife.

After Amazon gradually got on track and developed vigorously, McKinsey faded out of her brother-in-law's work circle and concentrated on her own job - novelist. As a husband, her brother-in-law was also very supportive. As long as his wife had a new book, the richest man was always the first to read it. And the brother-in-law always refused to attend the Amazon meeting in the morning and insisted on having breakfast with his family.

It is sad that two people who are both excellent partners and parents have parted ways. But what we, the spectators, are more concerned about is

How to divide 124.5 billion US dollars! !

Everyone knows that the federal law in the United States is very complicated. The 50 states have their own standards, and even the definition of property is different. Let me give you an example from California. California is a region that adopts the "equal distribution of marital common property". The labor income generated by the couple after marriage is considered marital common income. In the case of the brother-in-law, we assume that McKinsey's income is negligible, then half of the brother-in-law's 124.5 billion property will be directly allocated to McKinsey, which is nearly 60 billion US dollars!

What does this mean? Let’s take a look at the real-time updated rich list.

McKinsey, which has received more than 60 billion US dollars, can now directly sit on the fifth place on the world's rich list!

If we divide half of it, we can be ranked fifth in the world. My brother-in-law really made a lot of money from us sellers. However, this is just a very simple inference. The details still need to be determined by the negotiation and judgment of the two. What the little clone is concerned about now is

Brother-in-law, please stop coming up with any crooked ideas to exploit us sellers!
