[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not act like this marriage was ever based on love. She was some MBA marketing striver—and let's be honest...conniver—working at Microsoft and he was already a multi-billionaire. She started banging her CEO. I guarantee she's just jealous of Jobs' widow and Bezos's ex, how they are blowing their husbands' billions, and she craves those same sort of PR puff pieces.  :roll:

...or these high-powered divorces are just [b]some scheme for the couples to dump tens of billions in stock [/b]and avoid Biden's tax raises.[/quote]

I agree. It happened during the Enron debacle:
"Regarded by colleagues as prickly, Mr. Pai (pronounced "pie") was also known for running up large bills on the company expense account at strip clubs. His affair with an exotic dancer ended his marriage in 1999, and he sold most of his Enron shares to settle the divorce. Mr. Pai's take, more than $271 million, is the largest of any former Enron employee and has made him the target of several shareholder lawsuits."

Just reported today that Bill transferred $1.8 billion in stocks to Melinda on date of divorce announcement.  Is that the type of money transfer that would avoid taxes, even though they are still married?  Please explain it to me like I'm in Kindergarten.
