“世紀離婚”塵埃落定！貝佐斯前妻成世界第三大女富豪

近日，亞馬遜CEO貝佐斯前妻麥肯齊在社交媒體上宣佈，她已經和貝佐斯達成了離婚協議。麥肯齊宣佈放棄《華盛頓郵報》和太空探索公司藍色起源(Blue Origin)的全部股權，只保留兩人共同持有亞馬遜股權的25%，並將所有股權的投票權授予貝索斯。根據《福布斯》計算，離婚後麥肯齊將成世界排名第三的女富豪，而貝佐斯仍然是全球第一大富豪。

The world's richest man, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and his wife MacKenzie have agreed a record-breaking divorce settlement of at least $35bn.

世界首富、亞馬遜創始人傑夫-貝佐斯和妻子麥肯齊近日達成創紀錄的離婚協議，前妻麥肯齊將分得至少350億美元（約合人民幣2351億元）。

Ms Bezos keeps a 4% stake in the online retail giant, worth $35.6bn on its own.

麥肯齊獲得4%的亞馬遜股份，價值356億美元。

Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in Seattle in 1994, a year after the couple married, and Ms Bezos was one of its first employees.

1994年，傑夫-貝佐斯在西雅圖創建了亞馬遜，當時他已經與麥肯齊結婚一年。在企業創立之初，麥肯齊也曾是亞馬遜的一名員工。

Both parties tweeted positive comments about the other in the wake of the announced settlement.

在宣佈離婚協議之後，雙方在推特上互致感謝和祝福。

The two did not provide any further financial details about the settlement.

雙方都沒有透露離婚協議的更多財務細節。

The Amazon shares alone will make Ms Bezos the world's third-richest woman while Jeff will remain the world's richest person, according to Forbes.

根據《福布斯》的排名，僅亞馬遜股份一項財產就使麥肯齊成爲全球第三大女富豪，而貝佐斯仍是世界首富。

Jeff Bezos, 55, and MacKenzie, 48, a novelist, married in 1993 and have four children.

55歲的傑夫-貝佐斯和48歲的小說家麥肯齊在1993年結婚，兩人有四名子女。

Ms Bezos' tweet is her first and only one since joining the microblogging website this month. In it she stated that she was "grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage to Jeff with support from each other".

這是麥肯齊在上月開通推特賬戶後的第一條也是唯一一條推文。她寫道：“在彼此的支持下，我與貝佐斯解除了婚姻關係，我很感激。”

Mr Bezos tweeted: "I'm so grateful to all my friends and family for reaching out with encouragement and love... MacKenzie most of all."

貝佐斯發推特說：“非常感謝所有的親友給我的鼓勵和愛，尤其要感謝麥肯齊。”

The tweet concluded with: "She is resourceful and brilliant and loving, and as our futures unroll, I know I'll always be learning from her."

推文末尾說：“她非常機智、才華橫溢、充滿愛心，隨着我們人生中下一個階段的到來，我知道我將永遠向她學習。”

Prior to the settlement, Mr Bezos held a 16.3% stake in Amazon. He will retain 75% of that holding but Ms Bezos has transferred all of her voting rights to her former husband.

在離婚協議達成前，貝佐斯持有16.3%的亞馬遜股份。他將繼續持有這部分股份的75%，但麥肯齊將所有的投票權讓給了貝佐斯。

She will also give up her interests in the Washington Post newspaper and Mr Bezos' space travel firm Blue Origin.

麥肯齊還將放棄《華盛頓郵報》和貝佐斯的天空旅行公司“藍色起源”的所有權益。

Amazon is now vast online retail business. Last year, it generated sales of $232.8bn and it has helped Mr Bezos and his family amass a fortune of $131bn, according to Forbes magazine.

據《福布斯》雜誌報道，大型電商亞馬遜去年銷售額達到2328億美元，幫助貝佐斯和家人積累了1310億美元的財富。
