- Balgair 8y agoThen all the more kudos to Jeff for doing this. Taken from the point of view of the divorce court, this is a LOT more ammo for his soon-to-be-ex-wife and her side. These photos are very soon to hit the greater web/papers and WILL be used against him in the proceedings. You are correct, this decision by him to speak out is likely to cost him Billions.
- loeg 8y agoWhy should his wife get more or less than half of their common property (Washington is a community property state) regardless of who had an affair with who? They're both multi-billionaires and will live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
- kerng 8y agoI think they are pretty mature about their divorce. I'd assume they just split things in half, because they built it together anyways. Seems pretty straight forward - I doubt their will be any public drama.
- everdev 8y agoI don't think it works that way. You can't get the majority of someone's fortune because of bad behavior.
- pureagave 8y agoThey are in Washington state. It is a no-fault state and property is split 50/50. Photos don't matter.
- Balgair 8y agoOh, my bad! Thanks for the clarification!

- daveFNbuck 8y agoIf his wife is divorcing him because he's cheating on her, the divorce was inevitable anyway.
- ceejayoz 8y agoNah. The public nature and embarrassment of the reveal may be a factor, as plenty of marriages survive cheating - and there are plenty of cheaters who don't get caught.
- joezydeco 8y agoTimestamps on the photos could show Bezos’ affair taking place earlier than previously stated, which would definitely affect a divorce trial.
- nullc 8y agoWashington State is a “no fault” divorce state, so I would guess that the court wouldn't care about who was cheating on who when.
