Amazon said Thursday that founder and CEO Jeff Bezos has finalized his divorce with wife MacKenzie, who will end up with a stake in the online shopping giant worth more than $35 billion. In a tweet, MacKenzie Bezos said she is giving Jeff Bezos all her interest in The Washington Post, the newspaper that he bought in 2013, and Blue Origin, the space exploration company he founded. "I'm grateful for her support and for her kindness in this process," Jeff Bezos said in a tweet Thursday. They married just six months after they began dating, Jeff Bezos has said. MacKenzie Bezos, a novelist, said in a tweet Thursday that she was "excited" about her future plans, but didn't say what they were.
