Bezos will retain voting control of his entire $143 billion stake in Amazon, with MacKenzie given 4 per cent stake in the online retail giant.

"Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff," MacKenzie said on Twitter.

Prior to the settlement, she held a 16.3 per cent stake in Amazon.
