As the famous Good Charlotte song goes, “lifestyles of the rich and the famous… they’re always complaining”. The super-rich people on our list today, however, have nothing to complain about, mostly because they have a devoted partner who helps them to maintain the lifestyle they have grown accustomed to living. In some exceptional cases, these powerful people have spouses that are almost equally as rich as them. They might even perhaps get a little bit competitive with each other when it comes to how much they’re bringing home every single year. If you’re curious about some of the highest net worth pairings in the world, and especially want to know more about the people walking beside some of the highest earners on the planet, we’ve got you covered with all the details.
MacKenzie Scott
When you marry one of the richest men in the world, you’re bound to have a healthy bank balance yourself. MacKenzie Scott and Jeff Bezos tied the knot all the way back in 1993, and the courtship almost stood the test of time, only coming to an end a few years ago. As you can imagine, the divorce led to a record-breaking settlement, where MacKenzie walked away with so many billions, that she ended up being in the Top 3 wealthiest women in the world.

Melinda Gates
It’s one thing to have a lot of money, and it’s another thing entirely to put that money to good use. Melinda Gates has teamed up with husband Bill to make sure that his Microsoft billions end up in the right hands, and for the right causes around the world. Through their joint foundation, the couple has spent a large portion of their wealth to help improve global healthcare. Even though the coronavirus pandemic, they continue to do great work to help out others.
