. Alice Walton ?
Alice Walton is the richest
woman in the world, with a fortune estimated at $46.7 billion,
according to Bloomberg[1]. She is the daughter of
WalMart founder Sam Walton and while she focuses on curating art,
she also co-manages the family’s holding company Walton
Enterprises. BUT NOT FOR LONG !
Alexandra Andresen
At 21, Alexandra Andresen is the youngest billionaire in the
world and has an estimated worth of $1.2 billion. The Norwegian
heiress has won numerous horse dressage competitions and
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his wife, MacKenzie, who announced
they are divorcing after 25 years of marriage, did not have a
prenuptial agreement – meaning they will divide their gargantuan
fortune equally, according to a report on Thursday,

Bezos, 54 — who sits at the top of Forbes’ world billionaires
ranking with a real-time worth of $137.1 billion — and MacKenzie,
48 –an award-winning novelist — live in Washington state, a
“community property state,” meaning divorcing couples without a
prenup split assets 50-50, according to TMZ, which cited “sources
with direct knowledge” of their arrangement.
Since Amazon was founded a year after the Bezoses tied the knot,
MacKenzie could fetch as much as $66 billion based on the value of
the company today, according to CNBC.
To fund a settlement of that magnitude, Bezos would have sell or
pledge shares, which could dilute his ownership and control of the
company.
He owns just under 80 million shares, or just under 16 percent
of Amazon, CNBC reported, citing regulatory filings
But divorce lawyers say MacKenzie will very likely want the
family fortune to keep growing, so she would probably not push for
a settlement that would require him to sell shares, according to
the news outlet.
The couple on Wednesday described their breakup as very
amicable.
“We want to make people aware of a development in our lives,”
Bezos tweeted. “As our family and close friends know, after a long
period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided
to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.”
He continued: “We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other
and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married
to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we
would do it all again.”
The couple will remain “cherished friends,” the statement
read.

Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has felicitated with
Nigerians in the New Year and urged them to look forward to 2019
with great optimism and positive possibilities.
Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, said
in a statement in Abuja, while welcoming Nigerians into the New
Year.He said that President Muhammadu
Buhari was poised to lead in establishing the Nigeria of “our
dreams’’ in the year.
The APC spokesman further added that the party was committed to
good governance and a participatory democracy which allows for
peaceful, free, fair, credible and transparent elections.
He appealed to Nigerians to reflect on progress made by the
APC-led administration in the last three and half years as they
enter the new year.
“On this joyous occasion, let us reflect on the tremendous
progress we have made as a nation in the last three and half
years.
“The significant leap towards recovering our country from the
abyss would become obvious when we look back at the precarious
state our country was in 2015 due to the preceding 16 years of
irresponsible leadership,”he sad.
Issa-Onilu added that it was heartwarming to note that Nigeria
had now turned the corner, moving away from the years of waste
towards a stable and prosperous future.
He stressed that as citizens, we must play our part by
continuing to support ongoing efforts by the President Muhammad
Buhari-led administration to rebuild the country.
He added that the 2019 forthcoming general elections provides us
great opportunity to consolidate on the progress we had made
together as a country under the APC administration.
He reiterated the party’s stand that candidates that should be
elected at all levels must be those that could pass the integrity
test.
He further said that party candidates for elective positions
should also be adjudged to be above board in positions of
responsibility they held in the past.
Issa-Onilu added that the APC NEXT LEVEL campaign provided a
clear roadmap to further deliver on its promises and the change
agenda which was largely harped on fighting corruption, improving
the economy and tackling insecurity.
“As a nation, we urge all to kick against unpatriotic practices
such as hate campaign, spurious and unsubstantiated allegations,”
the APC spokesman said.
According to him, such deliberate inciting statements are
directed at critical state institutions and public officials by the
desperate leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He maintained that as a progressive party, the APC remains
committed to deepening internal party democracy, unity and cohesion
to provide a strong and united political platform.
This, he said, was critical to ensure the success of the party’s
change agenda at the Federal, State and local levels.
“We must shun divisive elements in our private and public spaces
who exploit sentiments to sell hate and intolerance amongst us in
the name of religion, politics and other leanings.
“Despite our perceived differences, our strength remains in our
diversity,” Issa-Onilu said.
