MacKenzie Bezos announced that she has given $1.67 billion to charities to date. She also announced that she has formally changed her name to MacKenzie Scott by AngelAuYeung
Scott signed the Giving Pledge — a promise to give away over half of her wealth away either during their lifetimes or in their wills — in May 2019. Scott is worth an estimated $58 billion as a result of her divorce in mid 2019 from Bezos, in which she received a quarter of his Amazon stake, worth $36 billion at the time.
“The Glasswing is a tiny butterfly with invisible wings that can carry 40 times its own weight,” Scott wrote. “Over the last fourteen months, I’ve been inspired by the capacity of individuals to lift others: an association of women professionals mentoring girls through the same program that paid for their own educations; a network of low-income families lifting themselves out of poverty by supporting and advising each other.
Scott adds: “Though this work is ongoing and will last for years, I’m posting an update today because my own reflection after recent events revealed a dividend of privilege I’d been overlooking: the attention I can call to organizations and leaders driving change.”
