Jeff Bezos’ future wife will likely be set for life — whether she stays with the multibillionaire or not.
If you haven’t heard, the Amazon founder got engaged to longtime girlfriend Lauren Sánchez last week as they toured Spain and the French Riviera on his $500 million yacht.
After his split from ex-wife MacKenzie Scott in 2019, which resulted in a $38 billion settlement — that’s with a B! — due to the lack of a prenup, it’s fair to say he’ll be guarding his assets much more securely this time around. And attorney Brett Ward is weighing in on how it could all play out!

Ward explained that in “most jurisdictions,” wealth made prior to a given relationship is considered “separate property,” but because of Jeff’s wealth’s “vastness,” it could pose an issue. However, his net worth is estimated at $139 billion — so we’re sure a few mil in a fixed payment schedule in the event things don’t work out won’t break the bank.
