The sentence overstates Koru/Y721’s size ranking.

• Guinness World Records identifies Azzam as the largest superyacht, measuring 180.61 m.
• By contrast, sources describing Koru say it is the world’s largest sailing yacht, at about 127 m.

So Koru/Y721 is not the largest yacht in the world overall; it is a record-holder specifically within the sailing yacht category.

That makes the article’s wording inaccurate as written.

This statement gets both the timing and the administration wrong.

• A contemporaneous Defense News report from July 26, 2016 says Jeff Bezos was among the new members to join Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s new Defense Innovation Advisory Board.
• An AWS Public Sector Blog post from August 9, 2016 likewise says Ash Carter established the board and asked Jeff Bezos to join.

Because both sources place the invitation in July/August 2016, it was before the November 8, 2016 U.S. presidential election. And because the board was established by Ash Carter in the Obama administration, it was not properly “Donald Trump’s” board at the time Bezos was invited.

The article’s wording does not match the underlying numbers.

• Forbes’ 2005 World's Richest People page lists Jeff Bezos at $4.1 billion.
• A Forbes retrospective on Bezos’s wealth history lists 2007: $8.7 billion.

Going from $4.1 billion to $8.7 billion is about 2.1×, not 4×. In other words, $8.7 billion is nowhere near a quadrupling of $4.1 billion (which would be $16.4 billion).

So the specific claim that he “quadrupled” his net worth from 2005 to 2007 is incorrect.

This phrasing misstates the relevant marital-property system.

• Washington law defines property acquired after marriage as community property.
• The Washington State Courts Family Law Handbook likewise states plainly that “Washington is a ‘community property’ state.”
• Forbes described the Gates/Bezos divorce context the same way, noting that Washington is a community property state and that divorcing spouses must equitably divide community property.

So in the context of dividing marital wealth in a divorce, the article should not describe Washington’s system as “common law.” The applicable framework is community property.

The year in this sentence is off by one.

• Nextgov/FCW reported on July 29, 2013 that the CIA first awarded Amazon the cloud contract before later rebidding it after a protest.
• Computerworld reported on October 8, 2013 that the CIA had selected AWS and that Amazon had won the court fight over that selection.

So Amazon’s win of the CIA cloud deal dates to 2013, not 2014.
