Ever since divorcing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, MacKenzie Scott literally broken the bank – or tried to – as she donates to just about any organization that asks her. The most recent recipients? Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, who just cashed her check for $122-million.
To put that in perspective, consider that upon her divorce in 2019, Scott became the 22nd richest person in the world in 2020…with a net worth of $36-billion. Thanks to her Amazon shares, she stayed the 22nd richest in 2021…with a net worth of $53-billion.
Thing is? Scott is now the 36th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $31.8-billion…because ever since she pledged to give away most of her fortune in 2019, she’s given away about $12-billion to more than 1,200 organizations.
