It's reasonable that someone can forcibly extract 35 billion dollars for being married to someone?

"Forcibly extract?" They were married for over 25 years, since long before he was a gazillionaire, so it hardly seems like gold-digging. Also, Jeff still has more or less infinite money.

Extract from who? It was theirs, and now some is his, and some is hers.
