After Jeff Bezos and his ex-wife MacKenzie finalized their divorce, MacKenzie is walking away with roughly $36 billion — making her the fourth-richest woman in the world.
In a tweet on Thursday, the 55-year-old Amazon founder — who is the richest man in the world worth an estimated $137 billion— revealed he and MacKenzie, 48, had officially parted ways on the friendliest of terms.
Bezos is retaining 75 percent of the former couple’s Amazon shares, which is about 12 percent of the company, while MacKenzie is keeping roughly 4 percent, according to The New York Times.
According to calculations from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, MacKenzie’s $36 billion earnings after the divorce makes her the fourth-richest woman in the world.
The publication reports that MacKenzie ranks behind the $54 billion fortune of L’Oreal heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers and the $44 billion held by Alice Walton, of the Walmart family. MacKenzie is nearly tied with the third place rank, the $37 billion net worth of Mars candy company heiress Jacqueline Badger Mars.
