Hollywood'S Pricey Breakups: Jeff Bezos, Kevin Costner, And More

When Love Costs a Fortune

Money can’t buy love, but it can buy a divorce – and in Hollywood, some breakups come with a jaw-dropping price tag. From actors to tech moguls, when these famous couples call it quits, their net worths make headlines.

The Bezos Billion-Dollar Split

One of the most talked-about and expensive divorces of the last decade was between Amazon's Jeff Bezos and his ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos. After 25 years of marriage, their split in 2019 was monumental – both emotionally and financially. When the dust settled, MacKenzie walked away with a staggering $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Yes, you read that right – billions with a 'B'.

“Following their split, MacKenzie declared her intention to give away the vast majority of her wealth – a promise she has kept.”

But don't shed too many tears for Jeff. He retained a whopping 75 percent of their Amazon stock, valued at over $100 billion.

MacKenzie's Generous Heart

With her newfound fortune, MacKenzie Bezos focused on philanthropy. Just weeks ago, she confirmed donating $7 billion this year alone, staying true to her promise of giving back.

In the world of celebrity divorces, the Bezos split is a prime example of how love might not last forever, but the financial aftermath sure does make waves.
