I am sure Bill's ranking will rise again, just like Bezos but this wealth splitting is why a lot of successful men in the west don't wanna marry anymore. In the Gates' case, at least the woman contributed to Bill's wealth in some ways, but imagine marrying a lady without 'shishi' in her account and she ends up taking half of your net worth after a divorce. grin

And the above goes both ways. Katy Perry also lost a lot after divorcing her British comedian ex, Russel Brand.

Honestly, signing a prenup isn't such a bad idea if there's true love...

Despite Katy Perry having been at the height of her career at the time, it would only make sense for the singer to have signed a prenup, however, that wasn't the case. Russell and Katy's relationship turned sour faster than anticipated, and after 14 months of marriage, the two had split. While the divorce was by no means easy, Russel Brand could have made things much worse! Although Katy earned a whopping $44 million during their time together, Russell, who was legally allowed to 50% of that, decided to walk away with nothing!

And she couldn't give herself that advice?
Women would give advice about money and yet they are broke and at the mercy of their husbands, how about they take their own advise and magical prayers?

Maybe cos they are expected to manage the home, get pregnant and raise kids but a man will focus on making money alone.
Haven't you noticed how self-made rich women are mostly single women.

He made the money.

He will still make more and get back to the 4th position and more.
That is what excellence and competency does. You can repeat a thing again and again.

Make she go enjoy her Retirement funds...
Better use the words "Divorce Benefits"... The "Retirement funds" you look is a wrong usage of word which makes marriage seem like "a job that has its time-frame".

Stop copying and pasting! Russel Brand walked away with $20 million despite an amicable settlement, which means he would have gotten more if he wanted 50% of all assets.

And the above goes both ways for male and female. Honestly, signing a prenup isn't such a bad idea if there's no selfish interest.
I concur sir. If that divorce is what makes him happy, he will come back stronger. Meanwhile, I DONT SUPPORT ANYFORM OF DIVORCE

it all depends, but wealth acquired before the marriage is also included as part of divorce settlements in some countries, not just the US.

only when marital property is not sufficient enough (In case of upkeep to children) but generally it's marital properties of both parties (including the woman)

So unless you had nothing before the marriage and your spouse is not working you got nothing to fear

Leave that guy, let him wait for wealthy men to toil and feed his ass.
Capitalism is a lot better, although as everything else it has flaws but there are more chances for equal rewards for every investment.
It would be so unjust to make profit and then have a large percentage of my profits taken away from me because of community development, why stress myself when I could just sit about all day and wait for government paycheck from the toil of fools.

Only lazy people hate capitalism, they think they are being ripped off. They are always a victim in this game of life.

Nothing beats capitalism but with checks and balances against crony capitalism and monopoly, and a safety net for the unfortunate or disabled.
