> ...since she has enough accomplishments in her own right to be named...

I've never been interested in this woman, nor did I know anything about her previously. But just from her very brief Wikipedia, here are the highlights:

* Born into super wealthy family

* Sent to Pre-Ivy league boarding school in Connecticut

* Studies at elitist Ivy League university (Princeton) and graduates with pseudo-degree of 'English'.

* Meets Jeff Bezos while working the typical elitist hedge fund starter job in Manhattan. They get married!

... lots of years pass

* divorces Jeff Bezos, becomes one of world's richest persons

* donates a fraction of the money she won in divorce.

Wow, a true American by-the-bootstraps dream. Certainly, it is sexist to refer to her as "Jeff Bezos' wife" based on her many many individual accomplishments.
