The world’s richest man Jeff Bezos has finalised his split from wife.

The richest man in the world has escaped lightly following a divorce settlement from his wife, which saw him lose billions.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos will leave his wife MacKenzie Bezos a quarter of their joint Amazon stocks, representing a four per cent stake in the internet giant, or around $US32 billion (€28.5 Billion) in value. You know, nothing major...

The now-separated couple announced the details of the split in tweets overnight.

“I’m grateful for her support and for her kindness in this process,” Jeff Bezos said in a tweet

The two didn’t go in to detail about dividing their expansive properties and other investments — keeping the tone light and gracious in their statements.

Their decades-long marriage came to a halt in January when Bezos’ romance with his now-girlfriend Lauren Sanchez was brought into light.
