MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, unveils astounding $32 billion in charitable donations

Published

Five years have passed since MacKenzie Scott became one of the wealthiest individuals worldwide following her divorce from Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.Back in 2019, their divorce garnered significant attention as Scott became the fourth richest woman globally, acquiring a four percent stake in Amazon valued at approximately $38 billion at the time.

Following the divorce, Scott announced her commitment to the Giving Pledge, an initiative urging the world’s wealthiest individuals to donate at least half of their fortunes to charity. This initiative was launched by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

Since then, Scott, now 54, has reportedly donated $19.2 billion to various charitable causes. Despite these significant contributions, according to Forbes’ rich list, her net worth remains at $32.3 billion, although it once peaked at $53 billion when Amazon shares saw a surge.

In a post on her blog, Yield Giving, Scott shared: “I love words, and this year this one has been on my mind a lot. It’s another one that seems to have undergone a kind of semantic shrivelling.”

“On the list of its big, beautiful, original definitions? To devote resources for a useful purpose. To endow with rights. To clothe.”

She detailed how she had provided updates on the $2,004,400,000 she contributed to 199 organizations over the past year.
