From Bezos to Gottschalk
The most expensive divorces in the celebrity world
The divorce from his first wife cost Jeff Bezos around 35 billion euros. Now the Amazon founder marries his fiance Lauren Sánchez. A look at the most expensive celebrity separations.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos marries his fiance Lauren Sánchez in Venice. It is a festival of superlatives – also in terms of costs. The 61-year-old’s assets are estimated at around 207 billion euros. Behind him is an extremely expensive divorce from his first wife Mackenzie Scott.
Where there are no marriage contracts and fortunate during the marriage, divorces often achieve incredible dimensions. Tech billionaires such as Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates in particular, but also mediamule such as Rupert Murdoch, separate themselves with financial losses. Bezos, for example, paid his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott 2019 around 35.3 billion euros-one of the most expensive divorces in history. Melinda Gates received an estimated 70 billion euros after the separation of Bill Gates. And Alec and Jocelyn Wildenstein’s art dealer cost almost 3.68 billion euros to the former multi-billionaire.
