Watch out Jeff.

Yeah she’s a triflin’, friend indeed...

A gold-digger is, not exclusively but usually, a woman who marries a wealthy, generally much older man, purely for his money... and possibly an intention to engineer grounds for divorce in order to cash in on the settlement (unless there is a prenup).

Now, how is Jeff's ex wife an example of the above? Is every marriage involving a wealthy man, which does not last, due to a gold-digger? Or are there zero marriages involving wealthy men and a non gold-digging wife?

Men who are not fans of women tend to be Trump supporters but they never seem to acknowledge that Melania is a blatant gold-digger.

If you mean ceadaoin mentioning that the wife is entitled to half of everything, well she is, under the law there. She didn't say she agrees with it - she just said it is how things are. And she didn't mention anything about how it would relate to her. But that's not identity politics.

Half of what. Most of his worth is in assets and investments presumably.

Don't think he'll be made sell up everything.

I think they own a lot of land and properties also. I'm sure they'll come to an agreement. Or they already have.

It's rumored Jeff is already seeing someone - Lauren Sanchez, a former TV host. And at 49, a year older than his ex wife.

This is nonsense. Melania would have divorced him by now if she wasn't happy, which clearly isn't the case.

Trump is an alpha male and a Nationalist who puts his foot down where Liberal beta males and cuckservatives don't. He stands up for the USA and takes China down a peg or two, be it with their unfair trade balance with America or their currency manipulation.

Western Liberals and Globalist cucks wanted to sell out America and Europe by sending all of its industry and military technology to China.

Trump will in time be proven to be one of the great American presidents like George Washington and Andrew Jackson. He is the ultimate no-nonsense tough guy that America needs with the Globalist cartels trying to empower China at every turn, and turn America into a third world country.

If I were Melania, I would be honoured to be the wife of one of the great American presidents along with Washington, Madison and Jackson. I'm sure she would feel insulted by your nonsense claims

The vast bulk of Bezos' net worth is in Amazon stock. He owns around 15 percent of the company, or around 80 million shares, currently valued at around $1,660 each -- so that's around $133 billion worth of Amazon stock.

The core problem here is that any aggressive move by his wife that threatens to dilute Bezos's ownership or leadership of the company is likely to drive down the stock price significantly, leading to a scenario where they both lose wealth.

Grayson · 10-01-2019 11:26am

People are saying would they date/marry Besos, There's now a newly single woman who's potentially worth billions. Would I touch bezos? No. Her, probably.

valoren · 10-01-2019 11:32am

Incredibly wealthy woman set to become 'incrediblier wealthier' woman.

She'll get a hugemungous gaff, staffed to the brim, a charitable foundation in her name, A wad of AMZN stock, a bundle of cash.

People say Bezos is a sociopath, an almighty prick? The settlement will provide an indication of that i.e. she won't go for 50% if this is a civil split.

If the front given out about them remaining besties is actually true, then his wife will be happy with the above settlement.
If she goes for the 'Jeffy, what have you done for me lately?' jugular, then it will indicate that Jeff is a prick and will get squeezed by his ex.

To be fair Bezo's wife was there with him as a partnership from the very start. She's not some Instagram all pout and inflated arse vacant dolly bird who he married a year ago, who now wants payback for shagging him.

I think MacKenzie Bezoz looks great actually. And she studied English at Princeton. So she's got looks, intelligence, and a vast fortune.

Jefferson Cuddly Sorcerer could not give the slightest hoot. His modus operandi is to just sh1t on a thread regarding male and female relations with short "so you're saying" posts implying some really hypocritical comment from women, which no woman here actually said or agreed with, and no evidence that women who do say such things identify as feminist. For example he said women here are saying gold digging is empowering when not one woman said such a thing. The chances of a gold digger being a feminist are actually slim - a tiny bit of thought would register this with someone.

Then he'll scuttle of like a rat and ignore requests for clarification.

This woman doesn't fit the profile of a gold digger at all - it's a divorce after 25 years and they met before he became rich. But some (as demonstrated on this thread) just see "rich man, divorce" - must be a gold digging whore, no need to do any research - just launch into the rambling. And they appear to have loads of insider info on the divorce settlement. Terrible breach of privacy by the couple's lawyers.

I totally get criticism of feminism today. I think it's doing huge damage and some of it is downright loony - it certainly doesn't speak for me. But that poster and two others are only using feminism as a handy (but transparent) cover for just disliking women.

And there is this contradictory position of criticising gold diggers (apart from Melania Trump because you can't be seen to criticise Donald Trump's missus) which they deserve, but also criticising career women, even though the latter are self sufficient which is surely preferable.

You are correct. They were never exactly poor -- they met when he, then vice president of an investment management firm in New York, interviewed her for a job -- but they married a year before he founded Amazon in their garage in 1994. She had no way of knowing at that time that her husband would one day be the wealthiest man in the world. She stayed largely out of the public eye during their 25-year marriage, focusing on raising their four children as well as developing her own career as a novelist. A few years ago, it was reported that she still drove their four kids to school and then dropped her husband off at work in their Honda. She more easily fits the profile of a suburban mother than of a gold-digger who set out to take a billionaire to the cleaners.

Mixture of the two. Those American websites use terms like "cuckservative", "beta", "globalist" (used incorrectly), "cuck" over and over and over and over and their fans lap it up and just insert it anywhere whatsoever, thinking they look brilliant.

Donald Trump the ultimate hard man when he cries like a little girl over people disagreeing with him?! They'll tell themselves anything. Same as deluded left-wingers - "Whatever I tell myself is true - doesn't matter that there is ample evidence to contradict it."

It's not her husband's estate. they were married, she was there while he built it up, even quit her job and relocated for him to set up the business. they were a partnership and family. It's their estate.

Do people really think that women count for so little? Supports him their whole married life, raises their kids out of the spotlight, and she should be happy with whatever few scraps he decides to throw her?

She'll hardly get a "few scraps" however it ends up. Even if she gets just 1% of his net worth, she will still be a billionaire in her own right.

Yes of course. Im just saying that people seem to think she shouldn't get anything at all. One poster said he rather burn the money than see a woman get her hands on it.

And again, after 25 years, its their money and estate rather than just his.

Didn't see that. How unhinged can you get.

Myshirt is another "throw in an inaccurate woman-hating comment and then scurry off like a rat" person.

I'd say only the real lunatics (who likely never have girlfriends anyway, hence the anger) would truly believe the mother of his four children who helped him build his company should get nothing or next to it. And I disagree with the automatic entitlement to half in all cases, but it's the immediate jumping to conclusions that she's an unscrupulous gold digger - and zero research first - while he is just a poor little victim who could not have done anything wrong, that's irking.

There was a completely moronic comment about how this very non descript unremarkable looking woman "has an odd look to her". I mean, just utterly desperate grappling.

And if the way the amazon staff at the bottom are treated says something about him, then she put up with him for 25 years.
Interesting that he is chairman, CEO and president of Amazon.

Then again she could also be a weapon.

Their statement is one awful insipid pile of hogwash I have to say.

"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."...

"Though the labels might be different, we remain a family and we remain cherished friends," they said.

I do hope that isn't an indication of her writing style.

That kind of viewpoint is a bit silly. She won't get half of his net worth -- but she will still end up one of the wealthiest women in the world, so she will have few complaints.

I'm guessing that was written by some hired PR person. I'd be very surprised if she wrote it.

Oh of course. She's probably well paid for the privilege. What I'm saying is that she doesn't deserve half the man's personal wealth, by dilution of stock or otherwise. Why should someone, man or woman, have half of somebodies personal wealth just because he or she is married to them? You can't have entitlement if you want equality.

while being married the personal wealth is not as personal as you'd want, depends on the law. I prefer to think no one is above the law.

anyway on this - I wouldn't have bothered with the divorce at all : can't they have everything else they need without one... unless one of the new partners wants the spouse privilege ?!?

Of course they might marry again? In fact no doubt that they will.

Also maybe out of respect to their kids they didn't want to be involved in a sham marriage and dl things in a more dignified matter by dissolving the marriage legally.

Yeah it isn't a fair system that someone should have half of someone else's assets, absolutely. But are some not her assets or joint assets? She was working alongside him. Has she demanded half? And I don't think every woman who agrees with the 50/50 thing is a feminist either.

But what I said isn't untrue. That is what you have been doing - I have read your posts. You have said - and I'm not distorting anything, you actually said it - that women here think it's "perfectly ok" for all men to be considered potential rapists because of "a couple of" (meaning two) bad apples. We have partners, husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, grandfathers, nephews, uncles, male friends whom we love greatly - how low can a person's opinion of women be if they genuinely think that we think something so hideous about all men?

You have also falsely said that we claim men with "any" - not certain, any - physical preferences are sexist pigs. When absolutely nobody said that (if that French dude fancies much younger women than his own age group, it is entirely a preference he is entitled to - what women took issue with was all the insults being thrown at women here; not by the French guy) and when there's a long-running thread called "The most beautiful women in the world" here and no women have a problem with it; in fact they contribute to it.

It's easy to just drop those comments in and then scuttle off but it only looks like being provocative for the sake of it rather than discussion.

If men (not just you at all) are going to throw unsubstantiated insults (like repeated gold-digger pot shots even in relation to someone who wasn't a gold digger at all) at women on this thread and other current ones, and if refuting them in a forthright manner is bitter... so be it. But I'm not the one making such comments about men.
