He’s rich. He shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. It’s insane how many men know very well that marriage is honestly a betrayal of the male nature, yet we do it anyway.
He played himself if anything and she deserves everything she gets. This is very typical of millionaire. I mean even our president is an infidel.
Anyway, yeah. I like the guy for what he accomplished. As a guy who used to be on the same BS in relationships I understand, but don’t condone his actions. Being cheated on isn’t worth $70 Billion, but even as someone who makes nowhere near that it has always been your own responsibility to protect your self and your own assets for your own self-interest because you owe yourself everything. His wife apparently understands this.
You want a woman be to your partner? You marry her. You want a family? You marry her. You want sex? You marry her.
If these things aren’t important than feel free to be a forever bachelor but don’t expect shit unless you are willing to commit and invest. That’s just the deal.
You seemed absolutely unaware of the reality of modern women and men.
But that’s fine.
Because it shows that divorce "rape" has nothing to do with what is right, it has nothing to do with what she deserves it has nothing to do with what a child may need, it has everything to do with making money and hurting the man (and in many cases the man who gets hurt by this, did not cheat, they did not abuse etc. they where just the unfortunate victim of a petty wife). I don't think any one gives a damn that a guy who cheated got screwed over, they are pissed off because its just proof of a rigged system and the rights and privileges women have that men don't.
You should know the risks going into marriage. Besides she helped him start his business. He didn’t ask for any kind of a prenup because he knew she deserved more.
@dman342 Thank you.
Of course he knew she’d get mad. As she should have. That’s called a guilty conscience.
That's a bullshit argument and an attempt to rationalize this. First and foremost prenups get thrown out all the time for some of the most petty reasons (millionaire got a prenup, he told his wife once they had kids and he felt secure he would get rid of it. She got knocked up, it was some one elses child because she had been cheating on him from the beginning, but since he said this they threw out the prenup and he owed her money.) That's how the system works, if he does wrong he gets his life destroyed, if she does wrong, he gets his life destroyed. Their is no justice, its just about stealing what he created and giving it to her, the government is now picking sides and that's not its job. Again, this is just about her being vindictive , and don't get me wrong I fully understand why she would be, I don't fault her for that, I don't even fault her for trying to rob him blind, I do fault the government for allowing it. He cheated, he didn't rob her, he didn't steal from her. That's like me insulting you so you get my house, that's absurd and the punishment does not fit the crime and two the government does not dictate morality so what he did is legal he broke no law so the government going out of its way to help her punish him is immoral and wrong. Also, again, we do not see this treatment of women who cheat so again, this is just further proof that the system is rigged against men.
I understand what you’re saying but I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing against the people who expect her to walk away with nothing after her cheated on her and their family and publicly humiliated her.
The men on here mad that she’s getting money by not mad that he cheated. Basically she’s the bad guy and he’s fucking magnificent.
Lol, ladies, take notes, proof right in these comments that men take NO RESPONSIBILITY for their actions in relationships.
No, they are mad because she didn't earn that money but is now the richest woman in the world simply because of this. They are mad because if she cheated on him and then divorced him, guess what? She would be the richest woman in the world because she would still have gotten half his money. Its the double standard and the clear money grab that is divorce that bothers men. She doesn't deserve that money, doesn't mean I feel bad for him for losing it, he cheated he betrayed some one and he got screwed over for it, fine, but this is just an obvious sign that alimony/childsupport has absolutely nothing to do with what they claim to be fore, i. e. taking care of her (and the childs if any) needs. Its exploitation of the legal system, not empathy for him that pisses people off.
Then he shouldn’t have cheated. You men act like she got all this money just because she didn’t want to stay and like he didn’t understand the legal ramifications. That’s his problem. He’s not dumb. Maybe he should abide by marriage laws and this wouldn’t have happened. I don’t feel bad for him. His cheating ass got what he deserved. She’s not a vulture. He has responsibility in this too.
Again, incapable of taking responsibility.
"Maybe he should abide by marriage laws"
Actually there is no marriage law regarding cheating. Additionally, the US has no fault divorces. In other words, she DID divorce him because she was a greedy bitch, regardlrss of whether he cheated or not. If she wanted to grt back at him, she should have cheated too.
That's completely wrong. So your advocating that women be raked through the mud, have all an insane amount of their wealth, their children etc. stripped from them when they cheat? Is that acceptable? Because currently that's the exact opposite of what happens. A millionaire had his wife cheat on him, do you know what happened? She divorced him and stole half his money and assets. This is why this is a bullshit issue. Again, this is just hypocrisy, like when a woman destroys a mans property after he cheats and women cheer, or she attacks him and they cheer but the second a man does the same they call out how evil he was and how he clearly had it coming. He cheated, divorce fine. Talk money from him so that she can live comfortably, fine. But half his wealth and assets? That's her just trying to hurt him which while understandable should not be something the government should get involved in, they are suppose to be impartial.
By laws, I mean the idea of marriage which is only 2 people being faithful to one another
And yes, if she cheated, I would. He knew the consequences and thought he couldn’t get away with but he didn't. So his fault. I hope she’s laughing all the way to bank.
@hellionthesagereborn He signed the marriage contract and no is paying the price. 100% his own fault for not looking before leaping.
I’m a gold digger because I think it’s his fault for cheating? Your math sir is shit 😭😭😭
"Men don't take responsibility"
Heh... women are funny! YOu can drown your damned kids in the bathtub and mofos will invent a mental disorder to save you from the death penalty. Doesn't affect men tho... but men and women are the same... unless it's inconvenient for the woman.
Western civilization has made women so damned comfortable they get flabbergasted went reality kicks in! "How DARE you hit me! You're supposed to just sit there and let me punch you!" "How DARE you award HIM alimony! I'm Halle Berry got dammit!" "How DARE you expect me to ruck 10 miles in 3 hours! I'm am woman dammit! I should be an officer just for signing up!" "How DARE you ban me from X social media! I'm a woman telling random men they're trash!" "How DARE you expect me to work 40 hours a week! I DEMAND the same amount of money as those men who work 6 days a week, haven't had a vacation in years, and bring this company millions of dollars!"
Delusional western women. Don't worry though. Muhammed will make it right. Right Brother fucker? 
@Liam_Hayden At no point have I argued anything related to "fault". I have argued that its not the governments job to dictate morality, that this is clearly nothing more then revenge and that she is using the government to get it, I have argued that this is something that occurs regardless of "fault", that is men get screwed whether or not they are the ones who do wrong thus showing this is corruption not justice, but not once did I argue that he was or was not at "fault".
But he WAS at fault. So are you saying cheating shouldn’t be immoral? America harbors Christian values and even if you aren’t Christian, no one is FOR cheating. It’s emotionally, mentally and can be physically damaging, sometimes permanently. If you’re going to cheat then don’t get married. His fault 100% and he got what he deserved. He’s the CEO of a multi billion dollar company. You’d think he’d be smart enough not to do something that would cost him a fortune like cheat. Obviously not though.
Cheating is immoral, what I am saying is cheating is NOT illegal. First and foremost the government should not have an opinion on what was and was not acceptable outside of the confines of the law, second we have no idea what that relationship was like, she could have been emotionally abusive, could have not slept with him in years etc. none of which the government would factor in (not suggesting it was acceptable only that we have no idea the context of his cheating), third the governments job is not to bully people you don't like and rob them for you, that is not why they exist. Also, again, we do not see this happening to women who cheat on men, we do not see this happen to abusive women, we only see it happen to men, regardless of whether or not they are "guilty" of wrong doing (one man was cheated on by his wife, she told him that she was pregnant with his daughter, then later after cheating on him for ten years told him she lied it wasn't his daughter, divorced him, took half his money, and now he pays child support to an intact family and his cheating wife for a kid that is not his (and the government acknowledged as much. As I said, this has nothing to do with him doing wrong and everything to do with women wanting to be able to use the government to hurt others for their own gain).
What are talking about? Adultery is considered illegal in several states. 4 of them actually consider it a felony lol
Fines, some times in rare occurences in some (less then half of the states) they may get fined. That's not what is happening here so your argument is moot. Also again, you have done nothing but prove explicitly that this is driven by pettiness and revenge and nothing more and again, as I have stated multiple times, using the government for personal revenge is not acceptable, one, and two, is entirely one sided as no woman seems to ever get punished in this way for wrongs she has commited and in fact we can show that not only does she never get punished when she is in the wrong, she is also rewarded no matter the circumstance thus showing once again that this system is corrupt and THIS is the reason why men are upset with the scenario. Period. You want to watch him burn at the stake, you want to personally put a bullet in his head or publically flogged that's fine, but I don't care what you personally want, what I am talking about his why men are pissed off about this situation which was the question asked (and the point your completely missing because you don't give a damn about the why (yet seem perfectly content at spewing sexist remarks about men (ironic considering the sexism found within the court system which is exactly what is causing this issue to begin with (because if it went both ways, we at least would be on equal footing but that's not the case).
My argument isn’t moot lol. You literally said cheating isn’t illegal and you were wrong 😂
Oh and his fine is that big ass check he gave her 😭😭😭
He didn’t have enough left to pay the state. Serves his cheating ass right.
Cheating is not illegal in 30 of the fifty states, out of those only in four of them is it more then a misdemeanor and second it rarely comes to the point of some one being prosecuted so yes it was a moot point because again, in most cases its either outright not illegal or effectively legal and also was irrelevant to the initial posts and my comment on your post (which was nothing more then you spewing sexist remarks about men because clearly you don't give a damn about why men are upset by this scenario, you just want an excuse to look down on them (which is kind of screwed up)).
I think cheating in a marriage should be illegal, maybe not punishable by jail time unless you are spreading STD but punishable in debt to the ones negatively affected by your indiscretion.
You shouldn't be punished for hurting someone's feelings or breaking a promise. When a guy cheats it means something is wrong in the marriage, so it is already over in my opinion.
Besides, Aren't women supposed to be independent? You can't really be independent if you really on money from your ex to get by.
Not for hurting someone’s feelings or breaking a promise, but violating the terms of a marriage contract.
And marriage contracts are a legal matter soooooooooooooo
And where does it say she relies on him for money? You do know that she was there from the start to help build and start up the company even helping with the name plus she's an author. You act like she did absolutely nothing get the company up and running. She was also the first accountant of the company.
Oh, and the state of Washington where they are divorcing has a law: If you divorce, all assets are split 50/50. Again, his fault for not reading the law. Besides, from what I've read and looked up, he doesn't seem to particularly care and still holds her in high regard. Why are you more butt hurt over this than he is?
Because it is something all men fear. Regardless of his feelings other people can still give their opinion. Men should be able to choose what happens to their money. A women has the right to her own body and a husband can't force her to or not to get an abortion, so a wife or ex-wife can't force a man to do ssomething doesn't want to do with his money. Eg, give half to her. Loosing all there hard earned money to a women. It isn't an enforceable contract, so it is basically a promise.
If she takes the money she relies on him for it. Why does a glorified accountant deserve that much money. Women need to start pulling their wait and stop depending on men.
Because of his eye dude, just look at that crazy eye? (he's clearly a victim of something or another...)

When they say he is a victim they do not mean that he was right when he cheated on her.
When a couple gets trought a divorce the split their assets. Somethings belonged to both so they must be spit betwin them. Fair enough. When there are children involved the one that stays with the kids should recieve money from the other parent to raise the kids proprialy. In case of cheating the worst deal should be to the one who cheated. On the same page so far?
Thing is... In the majority of cases, and this is statisticaly proven, woman get the better deal no matter the circustancies. They can cheat and still and get unfair amounts of money.
That is what guys are advocating. No one is saying he is a good person. They are saying that if the genders were reversed the husband would have never gain that amount of money from the divorce. Come on you know he woudn't...
This and in cases were the woman cheats she is still the one that gets the ex husband's money. Is that fair?
Think about it for a second... My wife cheats on me, I have to give her half of my things and my money after that? How bad is that?
I know this was not the case since he cheated. But he still had to give an fortune to her. A literal fortune. That would never happen if the genders were reversed.
If the money is just a fair amount for the kids by all means take it! In reality this doesn't happen
I think cheating is terrible. But as a divorced man who's wife left to "find herself," I can say that there is much worse.
Whether you cheat, or emotionally checkout which everyone does for at least a period... I don't think the penalty should be half your life savings. Particularly when you worked your ass off during marriage, and the other benefitted.
She *may* have supported him, we actually don't know do we? Does he have debilitating anxiety and she propped him up? What type of support warrants that sort of payout?
From what I've heard, his wife did actually contribute with building Amazon significantly. She had a lot of important tasks in the beginning of the company.
So she helped in building up the company significantly, and Bezos cheated on her.
I'd say it's good, old fashioned karma.
I am of the opinion that Jeff Bezos has been quite the robber baron, I'm not his biggest fan. I'm not here as the pro-Bezos voice.
However, I think that the b-plot to this saga, the fighting between the Washington Post and the National Enquirer is going to force me on Bezos' side. The National Enquirer is trying to humiliate Bezos for his paper, WP, running stories about their boy Trump that they don't like. Bezos in this case isn't just some rich guy with dic pics, he's a target of blackmail from the Trump crime-family's network. I hope for the sake of this country he doesn't back down. He didn't compromise the Washington Post, so I will have to give him credit for that.
because the courts still award women half of men's shit even when women are the cheaters. So apparently cheating, isn't the determining factor of whether or not a spouse gets half the person's stuff. The determining factor is whether or not there's a man in the relationship. Anyone without their head up their ass can see the preferential treatment women receive in divorce.
Yeah, i don't think cheaters and domestic abusers should get that much... i mean, not only they do stuff like that but they also get your money. However, if he really cheated he deserves his faith
If the chick didn't contribute to the accumulation of His wealth, then He owes her Shit.
That's why I will never marry because of this bullshit system.
Only will have a LTR with children where I have to do some paperwork to secure my rights a different way.
Marriage has No benefits to men.
Yes, blame the marriage, not him cheating. Lol, if you’re rich and you cheat, you’re going to lose all your money, even if you’re a woman. That’s common sense. Maybe instead of blaming marriage how about you just keep your peen in your pants?
He wasn’t a fool to get married. He was fool to cheat lol. Him being married has nothing to do with putting his dick in multiple women.
@RoyClark true, typical mistake many wealthy men so.
They should make an awerness day to warn men about the horrors marriage causes lol
@Allie_Oops That "even if you are a woman" part is the issue here... If the genders were reversed the guy would never recieve that amount of money.
I am all for marriage, hell I am going to marry this year, but yes divorce is more unfair to us even if we are the ones who got cheated on.
I mean, Germany paid Europeans less money for Hitler and the holocaust than Bezos will have to pay his wife for cheating, something that isn't even a crime in the face of the law.
If you think that is fair, then you are high as a kite.
Amazon was started after they were married. Community Property in any event.
I honestly think that she should get something but she shouldn't get half of his hundred and 44 billion dollars cuz she didn't help him make it now if they gave her say 500 million that's more than enough. She shouldn't get half I don't care what no woman say I think that's pretty unfair seeing as how she didn't work for any of that money
Well that a different story then
"It’s expensive being a cheating bastard."
Actually it isn't. There are no fault divorces in the US. Plenty of cheating women leeching off of their ex husbands.
So yeah.
Also, if she just wants to prove the point that she divorced because of cheating - she can say that she doesn't need the money. but she doesn't. She's just a greedy, gold digging slut. And look at her. She's out of his league based on looks. I bet a hundred bucks she has cheated too.
So she is a gold digger for not refusing the money? What a stupid mentality
@emmily2396 She did actually marry him even before Amazon was a thing, so before Bezos was even remotely close to very rich
I didn't say she was a gold digger... someone else did... i don't see anything wrong with her getting some of his wealth, he cheated. If she was the cheater it would have been a different story
I know you didn't say that. Just adding info
This is a perfect example of why men shouldn't get married.
She becomes the richest woman in the world. By taking it from a man.
And it wouldn't have made any difference who cheated.
So don't get married ever, it's foolish
We realize the payout would have been. Identical if they’d divorced without cheating right? And even if she’s been cheating for years and they both knew, there’s no impact on settlement?
I wonder how did his wife contribute to his fortune in order to claim half of it?
@RoyClark
One could say that after divorce her vagina can be put in Guinness world record book as the most expensive vagina ever.
Ah who cares about him. The I let billionaire worth mentioning nowadays in Elon Musk. That's man is awesome.
Yes, he's a visionary.
There ya go sweetie!
Who has time to watch this shit?
Heh. Good luck on that. We all know men don’t think with their brains.
Spoken like a true gold digger.. what if the roles were reversed, should she pay up? Women like you give women everywhere a bad name...
If the roles were reversed, of course she should.
You read the National Enquirer for news? The same paper that talks about Bigfoot and aliens. Seriously?
That’s what the hoe gets, I hope she gets herself a hot man
When will people learn prenuptial agreement solves all these issues
They don't. Prenups get tossed out frequently at the discretion of a judge for a wide variety of reasons including "unfair" or "against the public interest." Since Amazon was started 10 months after they married it would have been hard to claim it as separate property even with a prenup.
In that case I would refuse to accept any money that I didn't directly contribute.
If the judge disagrees I would accept and give it back to my ex
he cheated on her. she was there before the money she helped him get his fucking idea off the ground. men r forever trash. i hope she takes every penny she helped him make.
Yep. He cheated and there are consequences. Deal with it.
You really believe getting cheated on is worth 70ish billion in damages?
About sums it up.
It's easier being a billionaires wife and get his money at divorce.
Well he pretty much forced her in this position by cheating. Do people really expect her to get cheated on, publicly humiliated and then walk away with nothing? That would be ridiculous.
Fool.
Because you were cheated on and have nothing to show for it. I think infidelity in marriage should be full fledge illegal and subject to extraordinary fines.
So you were taken for an idiot. I’ve been cheated on boyfriends in my 20s and I was savvy enough to know how to get them to be forever in my debt.
I mean.. Ok.. Then men will just never get married going forward without a prenup..
Prenups are iffy at best and useless at worst. If anyone is worried about assets, do not marry or even live together.
Just don’t get married.
Jeff Benzos in an incredible businessman and investor! <3
I've never seen anyone thinking that pile of shit was a victim of anything.
I think cheaters should lose ALL marital assets, so I have no problem with it.
@RoyClark None of the cheaters would like it, but It should be considered breach of contract.
trump cheats, bezos cheats
lots of men cheat
but so do women
I don't care who gets what because I am not getting anything from this.
Who said he was a victim of rape?
He knew the risk when he cheated.
No rape
He'll pay, but it won't be half. lol
To much gender bios based comments in here.
He cheated by holding hands?
Damn! Now he's going to raise sellers fees😨
Gold digger
Better than a cheater.
Not taking a side. But technically, considering that a gold digger breaks both your wealth and heart, one could reasonably argue the a gold digger is worse than a cheater.
A cheater can give you aids and you can die. Your move.
A gold digger is equally capable of getting and distributing aids... lmao... you really showed us...
Clearly marriage to you is about how much money a woman can extract from men. Women like you are why I will never get married
I have more than my husband and I’ve learned to be my own boss. Women who are smart will do the same.
Lmao right...
It is stay it is. Dumb women depend on men.
**** Jeff Bezos.
