(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) – Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has announced his divorce from wife MacKenzie.
The billionaire executive, who has a net worth of $160billion, posted news of their break up in a tweet signed by both of them.
Mr Bezos said after “a long period of loving exploration and trial separation” they had decided to call time on their romantic relationship.
But the technology tycoon said they will remain “cherished friends”.
The couple last year launched a charitable fund together, dubbed the Day One Fund. Their statement suggests they will continue to work together on joint projects.
In a statement, the couple said: “We want to make people aware of a development in our lives.
“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.
“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.”
