"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.

Sorry. There were no stories in the queue and no new story in over 2 hours so I picked one and went with it.
I felt it was newsworthy because it will be the largest divorce (financially) in history and Bezos has many ties with tech.

And still a potential $35 Billion in a divorce if you could convince him to marry your sister :P
