You might not have Bezos-level bucks, but you still might consider a prenup

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez may or may not have chosen to sign a prenuptial agreement before getting married. Such agreements normally detail what each person will take away in terms of assets, debts and spousal support should the marriage end in divorce or death. Bezos — the founder of Amazon whose net worth Forbes estimates to be north of $200 billion — has a lot of wealth to protect, should his second marriage go south. But chances are his assets and estate are already structured and professionally managed in a way that they would never become marital assets, two attorneys who specialize in prenups told CNN. So the biggest question if he and Sanchez did opt for a prenup is what payout she would get if they divorced or he predeceases her. But for everyone else wondering if they should get a prenup before saying “I do,” there are many factors to consider for both partners. Prenups used to be stigmatized as unromantic and a sign that at least one partner (or the partner’s family) didn’t trust the incoming spouse or worried the marriage wouldn’t last. But, in recent years, Illinois-based divorce and marital attorney Gail O’Connor, founder of O’Connor Family Law, said she has seen a huge jump in couples seeking them out. It might be a generational thing, she suggested.
