In a rare and emotional revelation, Jeff Bezos — the billionaire founder of Amazon — shared details about the most expensive heartbreak in history: his split from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
“I lost over $38 billion in cash, and 35% of Amazon to my ex-wife, MacKenzie,” Bezos reportedly stated. “I was worth about $76 billion at the time.”
Bezos, who was married to MacKenzie for over 25 years, described the end of their relationship as both sudden and devastating. “One day she said she was tired of our boring marriage and wanted a divorce,” he recalled. “I asked if there was anything I could do to change her mind — she said if I gave her half my $76B fortune and 50% of Amazon, she’d consider staying.”
The revelation has shocked fans, stirred public debate, and fueled conversations about love, power, and what really happens behind billionaire doors.In a rare and emotional revelation, Jeff Bezos — the billionaire founder of Amazon — shared details about the most expensive heartbreak in history: his split from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.

While Bezos has since moved on and rebuilt his empire — becoming one of the richest people in the world once again — the emotional cost of the split seems to still linger. Insiders say the Amazon mogul rarely talks about his personal life, making this confession all the more surprising.
Online, reactions have been mixed. Some praised Bezos for his honesty, while others couldn’t help but focus on the staggering numbers:
“Imagine offering $38 billion to keep your marriage and still getting ghosted,” one user wrote on X.
MacKenzie Scott, on the other hand, has become a powerhouse philanthropist, giving away billions of her settlement to causes around the world — earning admiration for her generosity and independence.
As for Bezos, he seems to be turning the page — but not without reminding the world that even the richest man on Earth couldn’t buy back love.In a rare and emotional revelation, Jeff Bezos — the billionaire founder of Amazon — shared details about the most expensive heartbreak in history: his split from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott.
