MacKenzie Scott Donates $436 Million
Author and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $436 million to Habitat For Humanity, according to an announcement from the housing charity.
Meanwhile, Scott’s ex-husband, Jeff Bezos, is continuing his mid-life crisis, wealth hoarding, and union busting.
Bezos, worth about $187 billion, has been heavily criticized for his lackluster charitable giving, despite the fact that he’s the second wealthiest person in the world.
By contrast, Scott has given away a lot more money relative to her net worth since her divorce from Bezos in 2019. And it doesn’t look like she’ll be stopping anytime soon.
Scott, who’s worth roughly $54 billion, has donated about $9 billion to hundreds of organizations since her divorce, according to a tally by Bloomberg News in late 2021.
Charities have included education non-profits, LGBTQ+ rights groups, public health organizations, and countless others.
