I have blogged about MacKenzie Scott — Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife — on several occasions, and will doubtless do so again. She is a ray of hope in a world that could sure use more rays of hope.
Scott, who has pledged to give away all of the zillions of dollars she was awarded in her divorce, has given away more than $16 billion since 2019.
And she’s not done yet.
Last year, she sold a quarter of her stake in Amazon, netting her a cool $10.4 billion, and donated $2.1 billion to 360 charities (or about one gift of $5.8 million gift every day).
