There is no love in a white women or so many white women dont love forever, every white woman love a man for a specified period whether the man is rich or poor, they dont think like Africans.

So true.

I think most of these female Oyinbos regardless of their husband's wealth, require a certain level of commitment in their relationship, Perhaps Bezos effort in becoming the Richest in the world came at the expense of his time and consequently marriage..

So true.

Its unfortunate for the man


How does that make him unfortunate? Marriage no be by force. Marriage is not supposed to be base on self-pity or public sympathy. If it's not working it's better to split.

You don't have an idea on how much the guy will part with

All the idiots on this thread who accused the wife of divorcing just because she wants half of the money. undecided
Jeff was caught cheating and that is why they are getting divorced.
What do you fools have to say to that? Always rushing to attack women and call them names. Stupid misogynists.


I'm glad Mackenzie went for a divorce and didn't just sweep it under the rug just because he has money. Even if she wants to take Jeff's whole fortune. She deserves it. Next time if Jeff ever gets married he'll know better than to cheat.

Only a few misguided folks called her that.

The reason doesn't matter tho' and her case is different. She left the hedge fund with Jeff after they married, stayed with him for 25 years, and is an accomplished novelist. I'm pretty sure Bezos would have no problem giving her any amount she asks for (I would). She certainly deserves it.

As for his whole fortune. Never happening in a million years. The elite write their own rules and with a market cap of $700b, no one wants Amazon off Bezos' hands. Not even Mackenzie.

That said, it'd be interesting to hear her attorney's argument (if it ever gets to that extent: unlikely going by the joint statement) as to how her contributions to Bezos' tech and media empire is worth upwards of $60b. That sh*t should be televised, because it's twice our annual national budget.

In any case, Bezos would make back whatever he settles over the next decade WITHOUT HER *CONTRIBUTION*. Amazon is on steroids.

PS: If she remarries and her new husband cheats on her with a younger broad (men who earn less/have less money than their spouses are five times more likely to cheat in the US), she'd be directed to pay him off. Going by the most conservative estimate, she'd still make the cheater a billionaire. So it cuts both ways. Gender warfare is a dangerous game.

This is lovely. This is the type of divorce I am willing to have with a wife, after a much understanding that marriage is a mind control apparachik designed for the intercourse of the Sun and the moon, the positive and the negative atom as well as male and female.

Marriage was not supposed to be, we are organic animals with neural self-realization, but that does not mean the rules of animals does not apply to us. Animals do not get married, they fucck who they love. It is the way of nature and the billions of Humanoid Gods, which some of us have embodied.

Weldone to Mrs Beezos for keeping up with such brainwaves and cashing out at the very time you can enjoy sex on menupause. May your loins be with you.

Beezos already knows he is luciferan in thoughts and animal in nature, he will always get young bisexual ladies for groupie, you cant have such money and be married or dine with one woman. I dey craze ? it is the wild way of nature.

I love it. grin

You're on point!

we were talking about women here and not men.

Besides, love is not a new concept (at least not in the west) but it's probably new in Africa

Queen EliZabeth married whom she loved and they were still together TILL DATE


Mitt Romney married his high school sweetheart and they are still married TILL DATE

Bush Snr married the love of his life and they were married for more than 72 years.

Bill Gates married his love and they are still together TILL DATE.

Obama married his love and they are still married TILL DATE

My father married his love despite some opposition and they are still married TILL DATE

and the examples are so so many.

It's the wrong definition of love you Zoogerians have that is causing all the heart breaks and divorces I hear now happen in that failed $hithole jungle

Traditional marriages were not more successful, they were just prisons.

you really think those traditional marriages in Nigeria in the past would have survived today? (a good number of them?)

Marriage remains a scam in traditional African setting cheesy

Love marriage didn't exist in the west until the 20th century, it was even still very rare then.
You listed the list of celebrities who are still married when most of them
have had several divorces.


Same way higher education is a scam for people who have no business being the university in the first place,
marriage is not for everybody.

It is interesting to note that the top 10 countries with the highest divorce rates are those who
believe in "Love marriages", not even a single country with the traditional view of marriage made the list.
You can almost predict a country's divorce rate by how much emphasis they place on the fickle feeling of "love".

Sorry that i have to quote you but there's no amount of money that can equate happiness. Sometimes it's better to part with your huge amount of money or property to divorce and get your freedom and stay happy. You can always make more money back in future. Happiness is key.

oga

traditional marriages are prisons

Look at the middle east for example

Only a man can divorce a woman and not vice versa

Arranged marriages are rife and MOST of the girls arranged into this marriage are living in bondage, and because the society deals wickedly with women who st and up for their rights, they have no choice to endure in the marriage TILK THEY DIE

Honour killings are now rife because they have said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH in that region


In many African countries, we do know what traditional marriages are, and how in many instances, one partner is unhappy but have to put up with all manners of things because of the "society" and "stigma"


As the middle east and African countries become more open, more and more "traditional" marriages will be fvcked up and by then, no matter of societal stigma or "honour killings" will stop the wave.
It has started in the middle east, Africa is next.


Whether traditional or love marriage (both are not bad in itself tho, they could work out well, depending on the parties involved) one should stay in a union because he wants to, not because he is FORCED TO, OR HAS TO.

Re: Jeff And Mackenzie Bezos Are Getting Divorced After 25 Years Of Marriage by wizemax(m): 5:09pm On Mar 23, 2019
I get you, but it's precisely because the man is rich that she wants to break up now.
I often wonder what Oprah Winfrey husband will gain if he chooses to divorce.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

gurunlocker:
They did what will make each other happy, but our own culture is almost killing us and most stay in an unhappy marriage because of society.


Even with her husband riches, she still want to divorce.... If it's Nigeria, you will be hearing "I am staying in the marriage for my children"


I hope she signed prenuptial agreement? Make I no hear say na 10 richest you be in few months.

On the contrary, she is divorcing for the money. If her motives were pure, she should have ended the marriage when the man wasn't even millionaire let alone billionaire.

Re: Jeff And Mackenzie Bezos Are Getting Divorced After 25 Years Of Marriage by wizemax(m): 5:28pm On Mar 23, 2019
I feel you Bro. This is scamming of the highest levels.
What she did was build "trust" with her "client" and then "cash out" when the man was comfortable.
I know she must have a plethora of reasons for this action, but the question remains "why NOW?"
Why wait till the man is a billionaire before you punish him for his so called misdeeds, why didn't you punish him why he was still broke?
Mind you there is nothing amicable in this divorce or any divorce for that matter, she is simply going to get whatever she wants out of this scam without any resistance from the man --that is the meaning of amicable.
And lastly, I agree that she contributed nothing to this marriage. How?
The raising of the kids and the running of the family was all done on the man's dime or at the very least the man contributed a larger portion.
I think she is seeking payment for sex, which is something all women do and then go on to give prostitutes a bad name for providing cheaper sex!

hedonistic:
What do you mean by "World Richest Couple"? How much did she contribute to the fortune?

World's richest MAN and his wife!

But, women. Marriage. SMH. What's the need really?
#Misogamy.

Now the divorce settlement would be earth-shattering. I'm sure she wouldn't get less than $50b - $60 billion. Why? For doing what?
WHAT!?

Word.

Ugosample:


I did not generalise

I said many, and you know it's the truth

The concept of love is abstract to a traditional African woman

It's what you can offer

The ones who talk about love are the ones exposed to other cultures and all (like you for instance)

Can you pay my bills ---- yes

Can you get me pregnant!---' yes

can you defend my children and be there for them ---- yes

that's all that matters to them (which if you really look at it, it's not a bad thing at all)
Re: Jeff And Mackenzie Bezos Are Getting Divorced After 25 Years Of Marriage by wizemax(m): 5:54pm On Mar 23, 2019
No No No.
Yes she has valid reasons for the divorce, the question is why now?
Why wait till he is the world's richest man?
Everyone has flaws so I would not be hasty to believe her excuse of cheating.
Do you think Oprah Winfrey is perfect? How about Celine Dion? Or female presidents?
The truth is that should a man choose to divorce, not only will he have an uphill task to convince the judge, he will also get NOTHING from the marriage.
If in good conscience she is ending things on a recent cheating alone, then she should have no problem leaving the man's wealth behind too?
So yes we misogynistic men are of the opinion that this is a CASH OUT scam. Period.


P.S. if you think she "deserves" money from this marriage, then the courts should be generous enough to grant a man money when he divorces his rich wife!

My man, we are on the same wavelength. I just said this exact thing to my cousin around the beginning of the year. She was looking at me as if I was an alien.
I told her those who believe they are so much in love should sign 10 year renewable contracts, while those who are unsure or just want to hedge their bets should sign 5 year renewable contracts.
Personally I think 5 years is enough maturity term for any viable venture to show promise, also it's short enough that if the marriage turns out to be damaging, you can safely get out with little backlash.
But if you are truly phobic, you can go for 3 years renewable marriage.
This idea came to me because I see a lot of people trapped in marriages all around me, who dislike their spouses but stay regardless and fight everyday.
No matter what people say, I don't count "everyday" nor "every other day" of a couple fighting as NORMAL in my books.
If a particular issue keeps resurfacing and is a constant bone of contention, in my books that counts as irreconcilable differences and is grounds for divorce.
Matters that are settled should not come up again or at least there should be no pattern of conflicts.
