According to the 2021 Global Rich List released by Forbes this year, Bill Gates ranks fourth in the world with assets of $124 billion.How costly is a divorce for the super-rich? The world's richest man in 2019<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>Founder Jeff Bezos paid a sky-high \"breakup fee\" of $38.3 billion for his divorce, while media tycoon Murdoch put his main assets in a family trust for isolation and protection before marrying Wendi Deng. Some divorce cases of rich people in China have also led to some complicated disputes.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1dc6b7900e225fb1072ea0b139686c40\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"588\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Bill Gates ranked fourth on the Forbes 2021 list of the world's richest people.Bezos' sky-high $38.3 billion \"breakup fee\"McKenzie and Bezos met more than 20 years ago while working for the same hedge fund, and they got married in 1993. In 1994, Bezos created<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>, Mackenzie was Amazon's accountant at the time and one of Amazon's earliest employees. After marriage, they raised four children.In 2019, Bezos, who is worth more than $100 billion, reached a divorce agreement with Mackenzie. Since Bezos and Mackenzie didn't sign a prenuptial agreement when they got married, the couple jointly held about 16% of Amazon shares before their divorce. According to the law of Washington state where they live,McKenzie could have gotten half of her worth, but she chose to let go generously, and finally only took away 4% of Amazon's stock, which was worth $38.3 billion at that time.After that, Bezos has only about 11% of Amazon shares left in his hands.This sky-high \"breakup fee\" was called the most expensive divorce agreement in the world by the outside world. At that time, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index still listed Bezos as the richest man in the world, and estimated his net worth at $118 billion. (Note: As of 2021, Bezos's assets have increased to $177 billion.)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e5786f8a7a4defcf4d285b9bef35e4f\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"368\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Other issuesAsset shrinkageEven if Bezos's divorce statement is better than his wedding vows, he still has to face the problem of asset division, and the shrinking assets is also the most direct problem in the divorce of rich people.In 2016, China's Internet giants<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/300418\">Kunlun Wanwei</a>Chairman Zhou Yahui and his wife Li Qiong reached a divorce property division agreement, and Li Qiong received 277.93 million shares<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/300418\">Kunlun Wanwei</a>According to the stock price at that time, Li Qiong's share of property reached 7.076 billion yuan, which is the most expensive divorce case in China. After the 36-month lock-up period, Li Qiong sold a large number of Kunlun Wanwei stocks. Before the divorce, he was able to rank first on the Hurun self-made list with 26 billion, but in 2018, he could only rank with a net worth of 6.9 billion. Ranked more than 2,000 in the Hurun Report, \"If Zhou Yahui throws me, I will throw Zhou Yahui's stock.\"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b54161d1cbf10046520ca70105c16a\" tg-width=\"550\" tg-height=\"586\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Murdoch paid $1.7 billion in divorce from second wife Anna Torve, Murdoch, who suffered heavy losses and learned from his mistakes, put his main assets in his name, especially before marrying Wendi Deng<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NWS\">News Corp</a>The equity is put into the family trust for isolation and protection.In 2013, Wendi Deng got only two properties and made her two daughters beneficiaries of a $8.7 million fund when she divorced, which was basically a clean leave for Wendi DengAs expected of being an old mage who has been divorced three times.Of course, there is also a calm, \"everyone is happy\" property division. In 2014, Dai Xiuli, a Chinese rich woman who first appeared on the list of rich women in Britain, divorced, but her British husband Tony Hawken, a math teacher, proposed it on the grounds that she was tired of being too rich. The English teacher is content with cheap bottles of ten pounds, likes lunch in chain bars, and doesn't like famous brands, while his wife likes to keep them open<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RRN.UK\">Rolls-Royce</a>And Bentley, buying football clubs all over the world, drinking champagne for 900 pounds a bottle. Hawken revealed to the British media that he only asked Dai Xiuli, whose net worth is 1.2 billion pounds (about 12.3 billion yuan), for alimony of 1 million pounds. He thought that his life was guaranteed for the rest of his life, and his daily life was to teach children from poor families free of charge.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5acf1a71ca7bca43197bc3bbe855294c\" tg-width=\"498\" tg-height=\"590\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Even if there is no problem with the division of assets, the negative effects of divorce itself will make the career and marriage \"double water reverse\". The divorce between Yang Mi and Hawick Lau has made the news of \"menstrual stickers\" that lasted for several years a thing of the past, and also made the valuation of companies in which Yang Mi shares shrink by 1 billion yuan.Listing blocked, tragically mergedIn the eyes of some rich people, my wife is a savior before marriage and a roadblock after marriage.In August, 2007, Wang Wei, the founder of Tudou.com, registered their marriage with Yang Lei, the female anchorwoman of Shanghai TV Station. A couple who was once widely favored by the outside world began to separate 10 months after marriage. In August 2008, Wei Wang filed for divorce for the first time, but the court did not support his divorce request. It was not until March 2010 that the court ruled that both parties divorced. In November, more than half a year after the divorce, Tudou submitted an IPO application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission before Youku. Just when Wei Wang began to look forward to a broad blueprint for the future, an accident happened: Wei Wang's ex-wife Yang Lei filed a lawsuit with Xuhui District People's Court in Shanghai on the second day after Tudou submitted its listing application, demanding the division of property during the marriage relationship.Shanghai Xuhui District People's Court froze the shares of three companies under Wang Wei's name, and Tudou's listing plan fell through instantly. Six months later, Wei Wang and Yang Lei reached an out-of-court settlement. Wei Wang paid his ex-wife Yang Lei a total of $7 million in economic compensation, paying $3 million in advance, and paying the balance separately after Tudou went public. In August of the same year, Tudou was finally listed on NASDAQ in the United States, but it missed the best opportunity to go public. Tudou, which was far ahead, was finally swallowed up by Youku. And this divorce case also gave birth to the \"potato clause\" of the investment community.The so-called \"potato clause\" means that investors require the CEO and main founder of the invested company to get married or divorced with the consent of the board of directors, especially preferred shares shareholders. Now Wei Wang's ex-wife, Yang Lei, hosts a family dispute adjustment program on Shanghai TV, and every gesture is full of winners.However, even with the \"potato clause\" as a firewall, it can't resist the appearance of the divorce curse. Unlike Wang Wei Yang Lei, Yang Haoran, the founder of Ganji.com, and his wife are typical couples in need. They met and married in China more than 20 years ago, and then went to the United States to study together. In 2005, Yang Haoran and his younger brother returned to China to set up the market network. Like many couples who can share weal and woe but can't be rich, the marriage between Yang Haoran and Wang Hongyan is in crisis just as their career is improving.The trigger for the rapid collapse of marriage was Wang Hongyan's unexpected discovery of Yang Haoran's quietly transferring huge deposits in the American account. Because he was unwilling to divide the equity of Ganji.com, which he worked hard to create, to his wife, the two started a tug-of-war divorce lawsuit, and some of the equity was preserved, which made Ganji.com miss the opportunity to go public like Tudou. In 2013, the old rival of Ganji.com<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WUBA\">58.com</a>After completing the listing of Nasdaq, with the support of funds, it quickly surpassed Ganji.com. Investors no longer expected Ganji.com to be listed and began to plan mergers and acquisitions. Finally, 58 acquired Ganji.com. By the way, Ganji.com and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WUBA\">58.com</a>The spokespersons are \"divorced\" Yao Chen and Yang Mi.According to the lessons learned from the past, such as Jiji.com and Tudou.com, it may no longer be prevented by documents and terms. Some VC companies said that for companies that are going to invest, if the boss is married, they should interview their wives.Not every rich man's divorce is accompanied by equity disputes and debt defaults. The property division structure of Wu Yajun, the former richest woman in China, is a replicable divorce model. As early as 2008, before Longfor Real Estate went public, Wu Yajun and her husband Cai Kui had been \"pre-divorced\". They divided their shares and handed them over to their own family trust control, just to hide the problem of emotional discord in order to successfully go public. Because of this design, when the two divorced in 2012, there was no dispute over equity division. Wu Yajun was in charge of their shares after the divorce through agreement, while her ex-husband Cai Kui married a stewardess with a huge breakup fee.If the divorce of the founder of Tudou Ganji is a \"non-cooperative game\", then the \"divorce economics\" of Wu Yajun and his wife is a model of \"cooperative game\".Grievances and prison sentencesThe divorce grievances of rich families sometimes lead to jail time.Beijing's apm, Shanghai's ifc, iapm, Chengdu's IFS, these iconic shopping malls are all Hong Kong<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00016\">SUN HUNG KAI</a>Its commercial real estate projects, and the Guo family behind it is also the second richest family in Hong Kong after Li Ka-shing. Sun Hung Kai has become the largest real estate company in Hong Kong by market value with the unity and cooperation of the three Guo brothers. And it was such a business giant that was almost sunk by marriage.The kidnapping case of the century in 1997 left a psychological shadow on Guo Bingxiang, the young master of Sun Hung Kai, which led him to suffer from mania. All kinds of hesitations in ransom payment made him suspicious of his family, and even his wife Li Tianying couldn't communicate. You know, in order to marry Li Tianying, Guo Bingxiang, an amorous seed, did not hesitate to divorce and break with his family.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f961bc00237d816a35460b3453d1d5cb\" tg-width=\"486\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">At this time, Guo Bingxiang's first love, Tang Jinxin, gave him the greatest care, and Guo Bingxiang had been living in Tang Jinxin's home to heal. After slowly recovering, he returned to the family business to take power, and let Tang Jinxin enter Sun Hung Kai to hold an important position. Tang Jinxin gradually intervened in the company's operation and expanded her personal influence, which caused dissatisfaction among others in the Guo family.Guo Bingxiang and his Miss Tang are in a couple, and it seems that they are only waiting for a divorce paper from their original wife. Mrs. Guo, who witnessed her two eldest daughters-in-law, obviously hopes that there will be nothing more than three things. In October, 2002, she gathered three brothers and asked Guo Bingjiang to record \"11 family rules\", including: Guo Bingxiang could not divorce Li Tianying, Tang Jinxin and her children could not participate in company affairs and management, were not allowed to enter Royal Garden Hotel and two offices, were not allowed to marry Guo Bingxiang and called herself Guo Tai, and so on. And witnessed and signed by three brothers.However, if the family rules are useful, what should the writer do? Guo Bingxiang didn't abide by them. As a last resort, Mrs. Guo used the highest authority of the group to dismiss Guo Bingxiang as chairman, kicked him out of the board of directors, and divided the family trust fund into three parts, which were given to the second son Guo Bingjiang, the third son Guo Binglian and Guo Bingxiang's original wife Li Tianying. Instead, Guo Bingxiang, the original family heir, didn't get a dime. This division was to ensure that once Guo Bingxiang got married, the family fund would not be greatly affected.Guo Bingxiang didn't sit still. He used the evidence collected to accuse his two younger brothers of bribery, and broke the corruption case of the century in Hong Kong-the corruption case involving former Chief Secretary for Administration Xu Shiren.In order to save their two sons from jail, Kuang Xiaoqing, the old lady of Guo, distributed equity of Sun Hung Kai equally to the three brothers of Guo. However, despite the help of the Golden Lawyers Group, Guo Bingjiang, the second master of the Guo family, was convicted and resigned from Sun Hung Kai.This wonderful plot like a TVB drama was really put on the screen by TVB. Coincidentally, Yue Hua and Guo Bingxiang, the role player and the prototype of the character died on the same day in 2018.","source":"sina","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Bill Gates announces his divorce!

Investors no longer expected Ganji.com to be listed and began to plan mergers and acquisitions. Finally, 58 acquired Ganji.com. By the way, Ganji.com and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WUBA\">58.com</a>The spokespersons are \"divorced\" Yao Chen and Yang Mi.According to the lessons learned from the past, such as Jiji.com and Tudou.com, it may no longer be prevented by documents and terms. Some VC companies said that for companies that are going to invest, if the boss is married, they should interview their wives.Not every rich man's divorce is accompanied by equity disputes and debt defaults. The property division structure of Wu Yajun, the former richest woman in China, is a replicable divorce model. As early as 2008, before Longfor Real Estate went public, Wu Yajun and her husband Cai Kui had been \"pre-divorced\". They divided their shares and handed them over to their own family trust control, just to hide the problem of emotional discord in order to successfully go public. Because of this design, when the two divorced in 2012, there was no dispute over equity division. Wu Yajun was in charge of their shares after the divorce through agreement, while her ex-husband Cai Kui married a stewardess with a huge breakup fee.If the divorce of the founder of Tudou Ganji is a \"non-cooperative game\", then the \"divorce economics\" of Wu Yajun and his wife is a model of \"cooperative game\".Grievances and prison sentencesThe divorce grievances of rich families sometimes lead to jail time.Beijing's apm, Shanghai's ifc, iapm, Chengdu's IFS, these iconic shopping malls are all Hong Kong<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/00016\">SUN HUNG KAI</a>Its commercial real estate projects, and the Guo family behind it is also the second richest family in Hong Kong after Li Ka-shing. Sun Hung Kai has become the largest real estate company in Hong Kong by market value with the unity and cooperation of the three Guo brothers. And it was such a business giant that was almost sunk by marriage.The kidnapping case of the century in 1997 left a psychological shadow on Guo Bingxiang, the young master of Sun Hung Kai, which led him to suffer from mania. All kinds of hesitations in ransom payment made him suspicious of his family, and even his wife Li Tianying couldn't communicate. You know, in order to marry Li Tianying, Guo Bingxiang, an amorous seed, did not hesitate to divorce and break with his family.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f961bc00237d816a35460b3453d1d5cb\" tg-width=\"486\" tg-height=\"458\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">At this time, Guo Bingxiang's first love, Tang Jinxin, gave him the greatest care, and Guo Bingxiang had been living in Tang Jinxin's home to heal. After slowly recovering, he returned to the family business to take power, and let Tang Jinxin enter Sun Hung Kai to hold an important position. Tang Jinxin gradually intervened in the company's operation and expanded her personal influence, which caused dissatisfaction among others in the Guo family.Guo Bingxiang and his Miss Tang are in a couple, and it seems that they are only waiting for a divorce paper from their original wife. Mrs. Guo, who witnessed her two eldest daughters-in-law, obviously hopes that there will be nothing more than three things. In October, 2002, she gathered three brothers and asked Guo Bingjiang to record \"11 family rules\", including: Guo Bingxiang could not divorce Li Tianying, Tang Jinxin and her children could not participate in company affairs and management, were not allowed to enter Royal Garden Hotel and two offices, were not allowed to marry Guo Bingxiang and called herself Guo Tai, and so on. And witnessed and signed by three brothers.However, if the family rules are useful, what should the writer do? Guo Bingxiang didn't abide by them. As a last resort, Mrs. Guo used the highest authority of the group to dismiss Guo Bingxiang as chairman, kicked him out of the board of directors, and divided the family trust fund into three parts, which were given to the second son Guo Bingjiang, the third son Guo Binglian and Guo Bingxiang's original wife Li Tianying. Instead, Guo Bingxiang, the original family heir, didn't get a dime. This division was to ensure that once Guo Bingxiang got married, the family fund would not be greatly affected.Guo Bingxiang didn't sit still. He used the evidence collected to accuse his two younger brothers of bribery, and broke the corruption case of the century in Hong Kong-the corruption case involving former Chief Secretary for Administration Xu Shiren.In order to save their two sons from jail, Kuang Xiaoqing, the old lady of Guo, distributed equity of Sun Hung Kai equally to the three brothers of Guo. However, despite the help of the Golden Lawyers Group, Guo Bingjiang, the second master of the Guo family, was convicted and resigned from Sun Hung Kai.This wonderful plot like a TVB drama was really put on the screen by TVB. Coincidentally, Yue Hua and Guo Bingxiang, the role player and the prototype of the character died on the same day in 2018.\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n source：<a href=\"https://finance.sina.com.cn/stock/usstock/c/2021-05-04/doc-ikmxzfmm0438875.shtml\">新浪财经综合</a>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ae09aeb718ecfeb44eda599f34a7a54","relate_stocks":{"MSFT":"微软","AMZN":"亚马逊","09086":"华夏纳指-U","03086":"华夏纳指","QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数"},"source_url":"https://finance.sina.com.cn/stock/usstock/c/2021-05-04/doc-ikmxzfmm0438875.shtml","is_english":false,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/b0d1b7e8843deea78cc308b15114de44","article_id":"2132152425","content_text":"来源：瞰天下\n微软创始人比尔·盖茨日前宣布与妻子梅琳达·盖茨离婚。根据福布斯今年发布的2021全球富豪榜，比尔·盖茨以1240亿美元的资产位列世界第四。\n超级富豪离婚的代价有多大？2019年世界首富亚马逊创始人杰夫．贝佐斯离婚曾经付出383亿美元的天价“分手费”，而传媒大亨默多克在与邓文迪结婚前把名下的主要资产放进了家族信托进行隔离保护。国内一些富豪离婚案也曾导致一些复杂纠葛。\n\n福布斯2021全球富豪排行榜，比尔·盖茨位列第四。\n贝佐斯的383亿美元天价“分手费”\n20多年前，麦肯齐和贝佐斯在同一家对冲基金工作时相识，两人1993年结婚。1994年，贝佐斯创立亚马逊，麦肯齐是当时亚马逊的会计，也是亚马逊最早的员工之一。两人婚后共抚养四名子女。\n2019年，拥有逾千亿美元身价的贝佐斯与麦肯齐达成离婚协议。由于贝佐斯和麦肯齐在结婚时并没有签过婚前协议，他们夫妇在离婚前则共同持有约16%的亚马逊股份，根据他们所在的华盛顿州法律，麦肯齐本可分到一半身价，但她选择了慷慨放手，最终只分走了亚马逊4%的股票，当时这部分股票的价值达383亿美元。此后，贝佐斯手中仅剩11%左右的亚马逊股份。\n这笔天价“分手费”被外界称之为世界最贵离婚协议，当时彭博亿万富翁指数仍将贝佐斯列为全球第一富豪，并估计其净资产为1180亿美元。（注：截至2021年，贝佐斯资产已经增至1770亿美元。）\n\n其他问题\n资产缩水\n即便贝索斯的离婚声明写得比结婚誓词还要好，他也不得不面对资产分割的问题，而资产缩水也是富豪离婚中最直接的问题。\n2016年，中国互联网巨头昆仑万维董事长周亚辉与妻子李琼达成离婚财产分割约定，李琼分得2.7793亿股昆仑万维股份，按照当时的股价计算，李琼分得财产达到70.76亿元之巨，这是中国最贵的离婚案。在36个月的锁定期后，李琼便抛出了大量昆仑万维的股票，离婚前还能以260亿位列胡润白手起家榜第一位，到了2018年却只能以69亿的身家排在胡润百富榜的2000多位，“周亚辉抛我，我就抛周亚辉股票”。\n\n默多克在与第二任妻子安娜·托芙离婚时支付了17亿美元，损失惨重，吃一堑长一智的默多克在与邓文迪结婚前把名下的主要资产，特别是新闻集团股权都放进了家族信托进行隔离保护。2013年，邓文迪在离婚时仅获得了两套房产和让两个女儿成为870万美金基金的受益人，对于邓文迪而言这基本属于净身出户了，不愧是离过三次婚的老法师。\n当然，也有风平浪静、“皆大欢喜”的财产分割。2014年，首登全英女富豪榜的华人女富豪戴秀丽离婚了，不过是她身为数学老师的英国丈夫托尼·霍肯提出的，理由是自己厌倦了太富裕的生活。这位英国老师满足于每瓶十镑的平价酒、喜欢在连锁酒吧吃午餐，也不喜欢名牌，而他的太太喜欢开着劳斯莱斯和宾利、满世界买着足球俱乐部、喝着900英镑一瓶的香槟。霍肯向英国媒体透露，自己只向身家12亿英镑（约合人民币123亿元）的戴秀丽要了100万英镑的赡养费，认为后半辈子生活有了保障的他，日常生活是免费给穷人家的孩子上课。\n\n即便资产分割没有问题，离婚本身的负面效应也会让事业婚姻“双水逆”，杨幂和刘恺威离婚，让持续几年的“月经贴”新闻爆料成为了过去式，也让杨幂参股的公司估值缩水了10个亿。\n上市受阻，惨被兼并\n娇妻在一些富豪的眼中，婚前是救世主，婚后是拦路虎。\n2007年8月，土豆网创始人王微与上海电视台的女主播杨蕾登记结婚，曾经被外界普遍看好的郎才女貌的一对，婚后10个月便开始分居。2008年8月，王微第一次提出离婚，法院没有支持其离婚请求，直至2010年3月，法院才判决双方离婚。双方离婚后半年多的11月，土豆网先于优酷向美国证监会提交了IPO申请，就当王微开始憧憬未来的广阔蓝图时，意外发生了：王微的前妻杨蕾在土豆网提交上市申请的第二天，向上海市徐汇区人民法院起诉，要求分割婚姻关系存续期间的财产。\n上海徐汇区人民法院冻结了王微名下三家公司的股权，土豆网的上市计划瞬间泡汤。半年后，王微与杨蕾达成庭外和解，王微总共支付前妻杨蕾700万美元的经济补偿，先行支付300万美元，待土豆网上市后另行支付余额。同年8月，土豆网终于在美国纳斯达克上市，但是却错过了上市的最好时机，本来遥遥领先的土豆网，最后被优酷吞并。而这件离婚案也催生出了投资界的“土豆条款”。\n所谓“土豆条款”是指投资者要求被投资公司的CEO、主要创始人结婚或者离婚必须经过董事会，尤其是优先股股东的同意后方可进行。如今王微的前妻杨蕾在上海台主持一档家庭纠纷调节节目，举手投足间全是胜利者的姿态。\n不过即便有着“土豆条款”作为防火墙，也是抵挡不住离婚魔咒的显现。与王微杨蕾不同，赶集网的创始人杨浩然与太太是典型的患难夫妻，二十多年前他们在国内相识并结婚，随后一同去美国留学。2005年杨浩然与弟弟一起回国创建了赶集网，与许多能同甘共苦然却不能同富贵的夫妻一样，正当事业有了起色之时，杨浩然和王红艳的婚姻却出现了危机。\n婚姻快速崩溃的导火索是王红艳意外发现了杨浩然在悄悄转移美国账户里的巨额存款，由于不甘心把自己辛苦创立的赶集网的股权分割给妻子，两人开始了堪称拉锯战的离婚诉讼，部分股权被保全有，让赶集网与土豆网一样错失了上市的良机。2013年，赶集网的老对手58同城完成了纳斯达克上市，在资金的支持下，很快超越了赶集网，投资人不再期盼赶集网上市转而开始谋划并购，最终，58并购了赶集网。顺便提一句，赶集网和58同城的代言人，分别是“离过婚”的姚晨和杨幂。\n针对赶集网、土豆网等前车之鉴，可能已经不是文件和条款可以防范的了，有VC公司表示，对准备投资的公司，凡是老板已婚的，要访谈其太太。\n并不是每个富豪的离婚都伴有股权之争和债务违约，曾经的中国女首富吴亚军财产分割架构，便是可复制的离婚范本。早在2008年，龙湖地产上市前，吴亚军与丈夫蔡奎已经“预离婚”，他们把股份分割好，并各自交由自己的家族信托控制，只是为了成功上市瞒而不报感情不和的问题。正是由于这样的设计，2012年二人离婚时，并没有产生任何股权分割的纠纷，吴亚军通过协议在离婚后掌管着二人的股份，而前夫蔡奎拿着巨额分手费和一个空姐结了婚。\n如果说土豆赶集创始人的离婚是“非合作博弈”，那吴亚军夫妇的“离婚经济学”则正是“合作博弈”的典范。\n豪门恩怨与牢狱之灾\n豪门的离婚恩怨，有时还会催生出牢狱之灾。\n北京的apm，上海的ifc、iapm，成都的IFS，这些各地标志性的购物中心都是香港新鸿基地产旗下的商业地产项目，而它背后的郭氏家族也是香港继李嘉诚之后的第二大富豪家族，新鸿基在郭氏三兄弟的团结合作下成为了香港市值最大的地产公司。而就是这样一个商业巨擘，差点被婚变击沉。\n1997年的世纪绑架案给新鸿基大少郭炳湘留下了心理阴影，导致他患上了躁狂症，赎金支付环节的种种迟疑让他对家里人产生了怀疑，连妻子李天颖也无法沟通。要知道当年为了娶李天颖，多情种子郭炳湘不惜离婚并且与家人决裂。\n\n在这个时候，郭炳湘的初恋情人唐锦馨给予他最大的关怀，郭炳湘也一直住在唐锦馨家里疗伤，慢慢恢复之后又重新回到家族企业掌权，并让唐锦馨进入新鸿基担任要职。而唐锦馨逐渐介入公司营运并扩展个人影响力，引起了郭家其他人的不满。\n郭炳湘和他的唐小姐出双入对，似乎只等一张与原配的离婚纸，见证了两任大儿媳的郭老太太显然希望事不过三。2002年10月，她聚齐三兄弟，让郭炳江记录了“11条家规”，包括：郭炳湘不能与李天颖离婚，唐锦馨与子女不能参与公司事务及管理、不准进入帝苑酒店及两个办公室、不能嫁郭炳湘及自称郭太，等等。并由三兄弟见证签名作实。\n不过如果家规有用，还要编剧做什么，郭炳湘并没有遵守这些。不得已郭老太太动用集团最高权限罢免了郭炳湘的主席位，踢他出了董事局，还将家族的信托基金一分为三，分别给了二儿子郭炳江、三儿子郭炳联以及郭炳湘的原配妻子李天颖，原本的家族继承人郭炳湘反而没有分到一毛钱，这样的分割是为了保证郭炳湘一旦婚变，家族基金不受大的影响。\n郭炳湘并没有坐以待毙，他运用手上搜集的证据，指控两个弟弟贿赂，爆出香港世纪贪污案——前政务司司长许仕仁的涉贪案件。\n为了两个儿子免受牢狱之灾，郭老太邝肖卿向郭氏三兄弟平均分配了新鸿基股权，但是尽管有黄金律师团助阵，郭家二爷郭炳江还是被判入罪，辞去了新鸿基的职务。\n这段如TVB大戏般精彩的剧情还真被TVB搬上了荧幕，巧合的是岳华与郭炳湘，角色扮演者和角色的原型竟然在2018年的同一天去世。","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"09086":0.9,"MSFT":0.9,"QNETCN":0.9,"AMZN":0.9,"03086":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2195,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":2,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
