    The founder of Amazon divorcing after 25 years. His wife becomes 4th. richest woman on Earth! Few of us can imagine how much 36 billion dollars is. Wonder how much the lawyers got? Frank

    "MacKenzie Bezos, former wife to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, tweeted out her divorce settlement Thursday — hinting she will walk away from the marriage with more than $36 billion.

    The marriage of the world’s richest couple had been on the rocks since at least earlier this year when Jeff Bezos announced, also on Twitter, that the pair would split after 25 years of marriage. The story quickly spiraled into a larger-than-life saga involving an extra-marital affair, political intrigue, and potential blackmail."

    Then, perhaps this will produce some considered disgust, apathy, or the like. I measured the thickness of a one-hundred dollar bill: 0.004 inch (four-thousandths of an inch, thickness of two human hairs).

    Thus, if Jeff Bezos' personal wealth were converted to $100 bills, and stacked tightly in a pile, it would reach skyward 36,000 feet, or about 7 miles!

    By the time the lawyers get their cut, it will likely only reach 5 miles. ;)
