A few days ago, I was just whiling away my time on the Internet. Reading entertainment news, buying cute bobbleheads for my work desk and forwarding hilarious memes to my friends. You know, the usual. And then I saw it, Jeff Bezos and wife MacKenzie’s divorce announcement post.
The Amazon CEO had met his novelist wife way back in 1993. And now they’d be separating after 25 years of marriage. There was a moment of shock among everyone (myself included) post his twitter update. Then sadness for a relationship coming to an end. Soon enough though, netizens began to see the humour in the situation and these jokes were born.
His net worth is estimated to be $137 billion

Wife: "By when can you sign and send the divorce papers?"
Jeff Bezos: "Saturday"
Wife: "Any sooner?"
Jeff Bezos: "FREE Delivery by tomorrow 9pm with Prime"

Their settlement (mostly the financial implications) was a hot topic of discussion

And of course, fun was poked at the expense of e-commerce portal Amazon

When the world’s richest man splits up from his wife, it is bound to cause a stir. And some rib-tickling memes as well. Which one tickled your funny bone? Tell me in the comments.
