The modern Internet has been around for roughly 25 years, more or less. There's still a few companies that have been there from the start. Amazon is one of those examples. Jeff Bezos founded it in 1994 started off small, and it has grown to extremely high levels of success. It is worth billions, especially with all the stuff they have been doing for the last 10 years, trying to be ahead of competition. That could change with the recent divorce announcement.
Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, are going to be getting their divorce. The speculation on why this happened is up in the air. There is thought on some sites that Jeff was cheating and being with a television anchor, Lauren Sanchez. Sanchez was married to Patrick Whitesell a top man at Endeavor Talent Agency. That's a tough thing to discuss right off the bat. It wouldn't stun me if cheating was involved. At the same time, I've read things from time to time about MacKenzie not caring for certain Amazon stuff and having competitor products. Maybe the focus on business was too much for her. Either way, this is a guessing game, so we're going to hear something rather soon in the next 24 hours to possibly a week.
How does this affect Amazon? There could be position changes. It won't be as bad as Papa John's Pizza the last two years, but a shakeup could happen. A lot of settlement stuff is likely to be discussed. I got a feeling MacKenzie will want some of that Amazon money and some of the properties that she and Jeff owned together. As far as company ownings, it could mean millions of shares go to MacKenzie, and that could be a huge effect on the stock.
I'm sure we'll hear more about this. It's funny seeing what Bill Gates has done for the past 25 years with his wife Melinda. Those two have a deep love for each other and the work they do to provide to needy people and to change the world. Even if there is cheating involved, something tells me that there was a rift between Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos before having an affair. Even very long marriages can unravel into a messy separation.
