Had Jeff Bezos Never Gotten Divorced Today His Net Worth Would Have Topped 300 Billion For The First Time

It was also not a bad day Jeff Bezos. But when is there ever a bad day for Jeff Bezos? Jeff Bezos is now laughing all the way to the bank.

$211 billion

He is now exactly $30 billion richer than Elon Musk, whose $181 billion net worth places him second. Ohh, but what could have been…

How Rich Would Jeff Bezos Be Had He Never Gotten Divorced?

Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott were married from 1993 to 2019. Immediately before he and ex-wife MacKenzie announced their divorce, Jeff’s net worth was $150 billion.

$295 billion

An absolutely incomprehensible number, but that’s not where it ends. Jeff owns several billion dollars worth of investments in other companies. For example, Jeff was one of the earliest investors in a pre-IPO Google. Today he owns at least $1 billion worth of Google shares. He also owns early stakes in AirBnB, Uber and a dozen other tech ventures. He owns a valuable portfolio of real estate, several private jets and The Washington Post. Trigger warning. The following sentence might make you sick. Had Jeff Bezos never gotten divorced, today his net worth would be…

$300 billion

Would that have made him the richest human being in modern history? No. Even at $300 billion, Jeff would be $10 billion shy of Andrew Carnegie ($310 billion – after accounting for inflation) and $40 billion shy of John D. Rockefeller ($340 billion).
