Jeff Bezos will remain the world's richest person with a net worth of $114 billion even after he transfers Amazon stake worth $36 billion to his wife MacKenzie under the divorce settlement. Mackenzie walks away from the 25-year marriage with about 4% of Amazon, a stake worth roughly $36 billion based on the e-commerce behemoth's market value. This makes her the fourth richest woman in the world, after L'Oreal's Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, Walmart's Alice Walton and Jacqueline Mars, the heiress of the world's largest candymaker Mars.

"Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reached out to us in kindness," she said in a Twitter post.
