Jeff Bezos 4 children consist of three super brainy sons and one amazing adopted daughter; More so, the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is no doubt one of the richest men in the world.
Surprisingly, the children of the world’s wealthiest man, have always remained somewhat in the shadows. Bezos married ex-wife Scott in 1993, having met at the hedge fund D.E Shaw where they both used to work.
The pair adopted their daughter from China. The offspring of the wealthiest man in the world prefer to stay out of the limelight, no easy feat with the attention their father gets.
After 25 years of marriage, the couple released a statement via Twitter, saying, “As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.”
Jeff Bezos’ children
Furthermore, reports had it that Bezos likes to maintain the privacy of his children, however, the name of his 20-year-old son is Preston Bezos.
Preston is the eldest son of the now estranged couple. He also, like Bezos, joined Princeton University. Reports state that Preston loves traveling and Mexican food.
More so, he has claimed Miami as his favorite holiday destination in the world.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos’ four children are all set to inherit his humongous fortune in the future. After his divorce from his ex-wife, while Jeff retained 75% of Amazon’s stocks MacKenzie received 25% of the shares.
Bezos also gave 4% of his company to MacKenzie.
Who is Jeff Bezos’ Wife
Bezos met his former wife MacKenzie Scott (nee Tuttle, formerly Bezos) in 1992 before he started working on his dream project. They fell in love and got married in 1993, and moved to Seattle together, from where Bezos started Amazon.
Unfortunately, the couple announced their divorce in 2019 after a prolonged period of separation. Bezos is currently dating news anchor Lauren Sánchez.
Fortunately for Bezos’ wife, the settlement saw her become at least the third richest woman in the world, as her Amazon shares alone were estimated at £27 billion. As Amazon stock has climbed over the past few months, Forbes now claims her fortune is worth £27.765 billion ($36 billion).
MacKenzie Scott is an award-winning author with two novels. Her debut novel The Testing of Luther Albright which was published in 2005 and Traps, which followed it in 2013.
Her first novel won her the 2005 American Book Award. It was a labour of love, as she explained to Vogue, taking a decade and “a lot of tears” to write.
Her creative writing skills were honed under the tutelage of acclaimed writer Toni Morrison while she was studying at Princeton University.
