"Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing after 25 years of marriage, the Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner has announced, potentially leading to the costliest divorce settlement in history with $137 billion at stake."

The richest man in the world, currently worth about $137 billion, according to Bloomberg, made the divorce announcement on Wednesday on his Twitter.

[...]The split could lead [to] the costliest divorce is[sic] history, even if the couple doesn’t divide the money equally. There are no reports indicating the couple has a prenuptial agreement, meaning the wealth accumulated during their marriage would have to be split evenly.

Also covered by CBC, CNN, and CNBC among other news outlets.

    That seems to be the meaning of those English language words, but I could be mistaken since we're living in the post-truth world where assholes just get to declare reality as they see fit. Maybe that was secret code for "all women are gold diggers so keep your chin up little incels" /shrug

    it wasn't entirely open. I suspect a binary blob.

    (there's a joke in there. somewhere..)
