MacKenzie Scott Can’t Give It Away Fast Enough


Since pledging to give away most of her wealth in 2019, Jeff Bezos’ former wife, MacKenzie Scott, has donated an estimated $12 billion to 1,257 nonprofit organizations.

It's an amazing and truly commendable act of generosity.   

Ms. Scott's latest donations include $275 million to Planned Parenthood — the largest-ever gift made to the organization — and $436 million to Habitat for Humanity.

Scott has also given to support historically black colleges, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, Black Girls CODE, Educate Girls, LatinoJustice, the Transgender Law Center, groups focused on LGBTQ rights and gender equality, as well as public health, global development, and climate change.

Despite giving away $12 billion, Scott actually has more money today (over $48 billion) than she received in her 2019 divorce from Bezos ($36 billion).
