Ex-wife of Amazon’s CEO, who divorced the entrepreneur in 2019, is currently the 22nd-richest person with a net worth of $53.5 billion, according to a Bloomberg Billionaires index. She has donated nearly $4.2 billion to 384 organizations to fulfill her goals of financially supporting the groups from the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic. Her charitable contributions included food banks, meals on wheels for the hungry, and other basic amenities for the underprivileged.
As the COVID-19 crisis ravaged the lives of many people, MacKenzie alleged that her initiatives such as community fridges, COVID relief funds, impromptu person-to-person Venmo gifts, viral debt-relief campaigns, and mutual aid initiatives helped the people who lost their jobs during the pandemic. Lately, Bezos’ ex-wife asked in a column on medium about how to give away her wealth more rapidly.
In response to Scott’s marriage, Bezos told The Wall Street Journal that he was ‘excited and happy’ for the couple, adding that Dan is a ‘great guy’. Meanwhile, Jewett expressed gratitude on pledge’s site about his marriage saying, ‘Recognizing how much I have to learn from those unlike me has led me to a partner similarly inclined. I have seen many ways that MacKenzie has seen her efforts enhanced when she acts on the belief that those with common values but different perspectives, strengths, and experiences are essential to effecting positive change.’
