What Is the Bezos Prenuptial Agreement?
Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott signed a prenuptial agreement before their 2025 divorce. The contract outlined how their assets would be divided if the marriage ended.
Key Terms of the Agreement
The prenup reportedly gave MacKenzie Scott a significant portion of the couple's Amazon shares and other assets. It also protected Bezos's separate property and future earnings from his ventures, including his stake in Blue Origin and early Amazon shares accumulated before the marriage.
