His last divorce cost him $40 billion or so

His divorce cost him zero. It actually made him money. His wife started the company with him. She owned 50 percent of their assets, including Amazon stock, but settled for less.

The idea that, post divorce, she BECAME the richest woman in the world was ludicrous to begin with. Her net worth decreased that day, but later sky-rocketed as Amazon stock saw rapid growth.
