Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced his divorce from his wife of 25 years in what could be the most expensive separation in history.

Jeff Bezos has announced he and his wife are divorcing ... and a record $137 BILLION is on the line.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are calling it quits.

The billionaire has revealed the couple — who have been married for 25 years — have decided to go separate ways.

“As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends,” the 54-year-old wrote on Twitter.

The post suggests the split was on good terms, with Jeff noting: “We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married to each other.

“If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again.”

“I’m pretty convinced it’s the sexiest thing I do,” he once told an interviewer.
