Amazon.com Inc founder and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos will retain voting rights and 75 percent of a $143 billion stake in the company when he and MacKenzie Bezos divorce, they said on Thursday, removing uncertainty around what the split would mean for Amazon shares.

Amazon, the world's biggest online retailer, said in a regulatory filing that 4 percent of its outstanding shares would be registered in MacKenzie Bezos' name after court approval of the divorce.

MacKenzie Bezos will remain extremely wealthy. Her stake in Amazon, valued at roughly $36 billion, is worth more than the market values of nearly 70 percent of the components of the S&P 500. That includes companies like eBay Inc, Allstate Corp and Twitter Inc.
