Earlier quoted context omitted.

She wasn’t a passive housewife who inherited money in a divorce. She was an early Amazon investor and helped build the first stage of the company. She’d be a billionaire even without the divorce.

Would she have made money from Amazon had she not married Bezos? Or even from any dotcom?

Given she was also on the fast track at D.E. Shaw in the mid nineties she was going to be a lot fucking richer than you no matter who she married.
