Jeff Bezos to sign prenup agreement to protect his $138 billion fortune

Jeff Bezos, 59, is history's wealthiest groom-to-be with an estimated net worth of $138 billion. And now the world's third-richest man is preparing to protect his fortune as he gets ready to marry his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, who he recently got engaged with.

The 59-year-old billionaire proposed to Sanchez onboard his $500 million superyacht Koru as they sailed around the Mediterranean. The 53-year-old Sanchez also showed off her massive heart-shaped engagement ring, which reportedly has a 20-carat diamond studded on it.  

While Bezos did not have a prenuptial agreement in place for his marriage to first wife MacKenzie Scott, costing him $38 billion when the couple divorced in 2019, both Bezos and Sanchez are looking to secure their assets through the prenuptial agreement.

The engagement has now given their lawyers a riveting task, reports Hello! Magazine.

“Following his divorce with Scott, which cost him $38 billion due to the lack of a prenuptial agreement, Bezos is likely to opt for extensive legal measures to protect his $138 billion fortune,” the report noted.
