Why do you assume Scott gave up a 500k/year job? For all we know she left an opportunity worth much more.
Also Bezos/Amazon’s success wasn’t guaranteed. Using the benefit of hindsight to evaluate how to split assets now is not reflective of how decisions were made 20 years ago.
- awb 6y agoI didn't assume her earning potential to be exactly $500k/year, it was just an example. Let's say it was $10M/year, that would still only be $250M. But I doubt anyone could claim to have sacrificed a $1.5B/year opportunity or that they were 100,000x better of a parent / partner than someone that walks away from a divorce with $15k/year of marriage. I don't think it's unreasonable to put some type of cap on a divorce settlement based on projected earning power.
