As large as the earth is, it sure feels awesome to be the richest human in it, to be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and to give about 4% of that cake to his ex-wife, while still remaining the center of attraction. The 55-year-old CEO owns a 16% stake of Amazon, he was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jeff Bezos married Mackenzie Tuttle in 1993, and after helping her become one of the richest women in the world, they got divorced in 2019.
