JEFF Bezos is still the richest man in the man in the world despite his divorce to wife MacKenzie after his affair with a TV presenter.
The Amazon founder previously had a 16 per cent stake in Amazon but will now give his ex-wife four per cent.
The 16 per cent stake in the online giant was worth more than $140billion.
The divorce deal will see Bezos retain a 12 per cent stake which is worth a staggering $100billion.
This means he is still $4billion richer than Bill Gates.
MacKenzie's four percent stake is worth $35billion which will make her the third richest woman in the world.
Amazon.com Inc. confirmed that a petition for divorce was filed Thursday and that it expects it to be approved by the court in about 90 days.
The divorce will see the Amazon founder also take his wife's stock in the Washington Post and Blue Origin along with her voting rights.
The pair detailed some of the divorce deal in a series of Tweets today.
Bezos and his wife were married for 25 years before they announced their separation in January.
Shortly after the couple announced on Twitter they were separating it emerged Bezos was seeing former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez.
One of her friend’s said she and Bezos are “madly in love” and even plan to tie the knot after they both get divorced.
Sources said their relationship did not start until their marriages had ended.
Jeff Bezos accused a US magazine of trying to blackmail him after they threatened to publish explicit nude photos of the businessman and his mistress.
In an extraordinary public statement, the Amazon billionaire said the alleged threat was an attempt to stop his investigation into how messages between himself and Lauren Sanchez were first leaked to The National Enquirer
Intimate details of the couple's affair were published in the Enquirer in January - just hours after Bezos announced he and his wife MacKenzie were getting a divorce.
