Divorce lawyer Jessica T. Ornsby, Esq., tells Nicki Swift that there were so many moving parts to consider in Jeff Bezos' divorce from Mackenzie Scott that, prenup or no prenup, the outcome was likely to be the same.

"During the course of the marriage, Bezos became the wealthiest man in the world, increasing his net worth in an amount that was almost certainly unconscionable at the time of the marriage," Ornsby pointed out, continuing, "He also became the CEO of the Amazon powerhouse and allegedly had an affair. Additionally, it had been 25 years since the date of the marriage."

Put together, all of these factors would have made the divorce "a mess." But the biggest potential headache for Bezos would have been calculating how much of Amazon that Scott was legally entitled to, since she helped create it.

"His wife helped Bezos start Amazon, worked for the company in its early years, and essentially helped it grow into what it is today. Even with a prenuptial agreement, it would be very difficult to place a dollar amount on the value of his wife's contributions," Ornsby said. "Additionally, Amazon's growth has been so significant that it is unlikely any prenup could have properly shielded the company, in its entirety, from division pursuant to divorce."

Basically — the lady has earned her coin.
