Jeff Bezos, 54, the richest man in the world, and will soon be a poorer place for it. A very, very big piece poorer. Because Bezos, founder and CEO of Online retailer Amazon, the world on Wednesday know: He and his wife, MacKenzie, 48, will be divorced after 25 years of marriage. Sky, that will be expensive.

Bezos and the future Ex-wife stated that it was a separation in all the best of our agreement: We are grateful for every single one of the common years and become each other to remain in friendship closely connected.
