She technically is. The marriage contract is a 50/50 split and such a share gives one the "founder" title. The actual contributions, circumstances and everything else doesn't matter. Bezos was a VP (at another firm) at the time they married and read the contract before he signed it.

- frongpik 6y agoIf presidency was an asset that could be split, then yes, she could get half by divorce.
- skissane 6y agoThe founder's shares are an asset that can be split, but the founder's status as founder is not. The founder's ex-spouse can claim a share of their ownership in the company they founded, but not a share of the status of founder, nor corporate offices. (The CEO's ex-spouse will likely end up with a decent percentage of the stock the CEO owns, but 0% of the actual corporate office and job title of CEO.)
