Jeff Bezos' Divorce Could Mean Big Changes for Amazon

He could have picked someone that was less gross with bolt-one and filler lips.

Eh I've done worse. Bolt on's can be fun too!

I bet his new girlfriend will be... prime.



Thanks folks, I'll be here all week.

should have made her sign a pre-nup...

 

[sfsuphysics]

Yep, prepping the prenup as I type this .

Yeah except it would have done Bezos fuck all, See Washington is what is known as a "community property state" which means that whatever is earned post marriage is "community property" and it gets split 50/50. People need to realize that prenups are not magical forms that give you an excuse to fuck over a future ex-wife and leave as poor as the whore was when you picked her up at that tequila bar. You really need to research your state you plan on living in first and foremost and not assume a prenup is going to save all your worldly goods you plan on making while married while your wife stays home barefoot and pregnant. In general prenups help protect you against shit you own before getting married, and in many cases of very rich marrying not-even-close to rich person you can also work out a spousal support so one can't claim "quality of life".

And I love Bill Burr, but this gal was hardly a gold digging whore, I mean she married him before Amazon (or the parent company) was even founded, in fact you might say she was the inspiration behind it due to her literary background (remember when Amazon was basically books? and no that isn't leftist nonsense), but whether or not it was him trying to impress his wife or not it all happened after marriage. And they were married for 25 years too and I seriously doubt she was playing the long game on that "gold digging" angle. Plus the fact very shortly after they announced separation Bezos is seen with another woman probably points in the direction that either a) he was tired of her and wanted to move on in which case half of everything he owns is kind of the going rate for bailing on a 25 year marriage, or b) he was already fucking around with someone else so this divorce is 100% his fault.

That's some serious pussy-tax

Pussy costs money, dicks are free. We all know this. You either pay by the hour, or pay later. Divorced men KNOW that later is always more expensive.

I will never understand why divorce in most places means that assets are split evenly. I dont get it.

This is because rich men were constantly leaving their old wives for new ones, and leaving the old ones flat broke, often with kids, too.

His wife is quite hot.
And rich.
And soon to be single.
Get in the line guys. Behind me

Women don't marry 'down'. You could probably get a job as a pool boy if you're hot enough, though.

As far as Bill Burr's routine, it's comedy.
Figure yourself as a 20 year old woman. You have a shelf life of about 10 years, during which your 'value' continually erodes; another five years, you're essentially worthless in the dating market.
You marry some guy. Have a couple of kids, pregnancy, labor, staying up pretty much all night feeding them, god forbid one of them is colicy. Post pregnancy your body is all stretched out of shape, you can easily wind up with stress incontinence (peeing at random times when you're not trying to), basically you wind up unattractive so finding another mate is much more difficult. Now compare that to your husband, who as he gets older makes more money, has greater status, gets more knowledgeable, essentially his value in the dating world goes UP.
And raising kids, which, if you raise them right, means you DO NOT WORK. You pay attention to your kids.
That means no job to progress with, and substantially less or NO job skills. She deserves all she gets as being part of the couple that got better, together.

I don't understand how so many guys don't understand this.

If I'm making $30,000, as in Chris Rock's example, and she wants half, I can understand the desire to kill her off. But if you're making big money and just want to trade her in for a younger sexier model? Then pay her for what she was to you back when both of you were young and starting off. Because a newly single middle aged lady doesn't have the social opportunities that a middle aged guy who is gainfully employed, does.

You must be fun at parties.

Or just find a good women, never walk around like your shit doesn't stink & be happy.

Or just find a good women, never walk around like your shit doesn't stink & be happy.

99.999% of non marriage relationships fall apart. Over 50% of marriages fall apart. Look at the old married people, and most want nothing to do with each other.
Finding a 'good woman' that you want to live with for 50+ years and then are real happy to be with for 50+ years is almost impossible, too.
Stay single. Enjoy the 'new relationship feel' when it happens, because there's nothing better. And learn to live with the times when you're sad and split up. Because there's nothing worse, than having to live with someone you can no longer stand to live with.

So it's true what I've heard.

25 years for 68 billion return?

Women are definitely better than men at investing.
