The sad news was confirmed just over an hour ago: Jacklyn “Jackie” Gise Bezos – mother of Amazon Chairman Jeff Bezos – passed away at the age of 78 after a long battle with a serious brain disorder. Her passing left the Bezos family with a huge loss, but what caught the most attention was not only the cause of death, but also her final decision regarding her personal fortune.

According to a close source, before closing her eyes, Jackie made a shocking choice: not to leave any part of her assets to Jeff Bezos, but to transfer all of them to a charity fund she had quietly built over many years. The reason, according to those close to her, was not because of the strained mother-daughter relationship as some had previously speculated, but stemmed from her deep dissatisfaction with Lauren Sánchez – Jeff Bezos’s fiancée.

Jackie is said to have disapproved of Lauren’s personality and lifestyle, believing that the relationship had a negative impact on Jeff Bezos. An old family friend revealed that she had repeatedly advised Jeff to reconsider his relationship, worried that Lauren was not really with him for love but for fame and fortune. The disagreements over this issue lasted for many years, causing Jackie to gradually distance herself from both Jeff and Lauren.

Jackie’s determination was clearly shown in her will: all real estate, investments and large savings were transferred to a charity named after her, instead of to her son or future daughter-in-law. This decision immediately caused a wave of controversy. Some people said that it was her legitimate right, proving that she maintained her personal principles until the end of her life. On the contrary, many opinions said that this was a “heartless” act, which could leave a deeper rift in the Bezos family.

As for Jeff Bezos, he has not yet spoken out about his mother’s passing and the contents of the will. The media believes that he is in a difficult situation: having just lost his biological mother, he also has to face public opinion about the relationship between his mother and his fiancée. Some public image analysts predict that Jeff will choose to speak briefly, avoiding mentioning the reason for the will to reduce tension.

Lauren Sánchez has not yet officially responded. However, observers believe that she will soon speak up to protect her honor, because rumors surrounding her relationship with Jeff have existed for a long time. On social networks, many people support Jackie’s decision, saying that she is wise enough to see what Jeff can ignore. On the contrary, many people criticize, saying that this is too deep an intervention in her son’s private life.

Jackie Bezos’ funeral is expected to be private, with only family and close friends attending, without inviting the media. This event will surely leave a deep mark on Jeff Bezos’ life, not only because of the loss of his mother, but also because she left with a clear message about her views and feelings towards his future spouse.

This story, with its combination of family tragedy and controversial elements surrounding love – money – power, will continue to be discussed. It is also a reminder that, even in the world’s richest and most powerful families, personal and emotional conflicts can still leave a deep mark, far beyond the glamour of money.
