I think she was there at the beginning of Amazon, and supporting that was the smartest thing she could be doing. It paid off, and while she seems like a total tool, it is sour grapes here to say that she inherited it or even won it in a divorce settlement when it was hers to begin with. As far as "earned." IDK. Like I said, she did the smartest thing in her own situation. You can make up your own mind.
I draw a distinction because there are situations where in fact a woman marries a man, divorces, and makes off with money that he had coming in. But that's not the case with Bezos. If you actually believe in a trad lifestyle, which I do, then (well you don't get divorced but...) everything that a couple earns while married belongs to both of them. That's how a family works.
was she popping out his kids and being full time stay at home mom taking care of the family? if not, what did she do to earn that money other than living under the same roof?
Probably doing much of the operating and day-to-day stuff. When you’re a start up you kinda fly by the seat of your pants.
I'll give her credit if there are evidences of her doing that
They had three biological children together, and one adopted one. I can't say I know anything else about their domestic life, though. I just got this off of Wikipedia.
worked at Amazon, I heard
Do they have kids? IDK
Huh, most of her fortune is literally from her divorce settlement though.
Any stock she bought or was given earlier on she still had but that wouldn't put her in the top 10. She also kept her own income in addition to that.
Oh ok, I don't believe that.
If you have division of labor within a family, it doesn't make sense to say that one person owns certain fruits. I mean are you going to say the woman owns the kids because she takes care of them? The house? Like I said, you're not supposed to get divorced, but the family does share property.
