An Essential Amazon Wish List For Newly-Divorced Men, Inspired by Jeff Bezos
In a Twitter post from Wednesday, Jeff Bezos — founder and CEO of Amazon, and the world’s richest man — announced that he and his wife MacKenzie, a novelist, have decided to divorce after 25 years of marriage. The separation comes with the news that Bezos has been in a relationship for several months with TV anchor Lauren Sanchez, who he allegedly sent a “racy” shirtless photo with the message: “You know what I want? I want to get a little drunk with you tonight. Not falling down. Just a little drunk. I want to talk to you and plan with you. Listen and laugh … I basically WANT TO BE WITH YOU!!! Then I want to fall asleep with you and wake up tomorrow and read the paper with you and have coffee with you.”
With Bezos’ net worth of $137 billion, the divorce could be quite expensive for Bezos. According to Washington State common-property law, MacKenzie is entitled to half of her ex-husband’s fortune, which is predominantly tied up in Amazon stock. Jeff’s put on a brave face so far (stock traders on the other hand…), but potentially scarier for any divorcee is plunging back into the deep end of the dating pool. As such, we’ve put together a wish list sourced from (where else?) Amazon that will shout, “I am divorced, hear me roar.”

HOW TO BE A 3% MAN, WINNING THE HEART OF THE WOMAN OF YOUR DREAMS
This book by Corey Wayne claims to teach men “the pickup, dating, and relationship secrets that only 3 percent of the world’s men know about being successful with women.” As a member of the top 0.01 percent of the world’s wealthiest, that figure may not meet Bezos’ standards, but it’s a start.

Cheers to new beginnings.
