Billion-Dollar Divorces: The Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces of All Time

 

Jeff Bezos and Mackenzie Scott – USD$38 Billion

The big daddy of them all, Jeff and Mackenzie Bezos’ split in 2019 goes down as the most expensive divorce settlement in history. After meeting while working at hedge fund DE Shaw, Scott subsequently helped Bezos launch global marketplace Amazon, sticking by him through the business’ enormous growth. However, the divorce saw Mackenzie, who has since remarried, recieve a four per cent stake in Amazon worth more than $38bn, the value of which has skyrocketed over the past year. Immediately making her the world’s fourth-richest woman, the divorce pushed Scott to the forefront of the wealth stakes, with a net worth of $61.2 billion. However, in trademark style, Scott then promised to give away at least half of her fortune.
