And yet spousal support after a divorce isn't in the form of "yes, you should take the extremely risky move of living without my billions of dollars. I support your doing this."
- toomuchtodo 8y agoSuch are the perils of a billionaire's marriage dissolving in a community property state. Marriage and living in Washington state are voluntary actions. My argument was for more value of a partner's contributions to business success, regardless of statute. EDIT: @busterarm: We're not going to agree on what defines "earned", good chat.
- busterarm 8y agoYes, but then regulatory hazard isn't the same thing as earning the money. It's just being entitled to it. Edit: I'm pretty sure Amazon shareholders won't agree with you about the definition of "earned" either. It's not just cash at stake here, it's voting power. Is that spousal support worth 8.5% control of the company? Up from 0%. I'm not saying she isn't entitled to it, just that there's a difference between value through entitlement and value through work.
