> Jeff earned half; precisely half, which would otherwise be zero without his wife's 20+ years of support. No, Jeff's wife was not in the room making the business decisions that were needed to be made to amass their fortune. Let's say she watched the kids and maintained the house with no help. That's a mighty contribution, but there are other stay at home spouses that do that too who would be entitled to far less in a separation solely because of the money their partner has made. So why does she get billions and the average stay at home divorcee gets thousands? Was her contribution to the family a million times more valuable than the average stay at home spouse? No, Jeff made the money and she's entitled to half. They both knew that going in and know that now. She didn't earn billions through parenting that was so much better than anyone else or create that much more value than the average spouse, but she is entitled to half by law. To put it another way, if they had signed a prenup and he had paid her $1000/hr 24/7 for 30 years, she would have earned $262 million. Or about 250 times less than the ~$65 billion she could get. Instead, she walks away with having made about $290k per hour every hour every day for the 25 years they were married. That's a lot of support.
