Slashed 42% Amazon stake, donated millions in charity — Bezos’ ex-wife net worth still at $35.7 billion

Last year, billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who is also Jeff Bezos‘ ex-wife, slashed her Amazon stake by 42%. On July 7, she again became the subject of money-focused headlines when Active Minds, a leading US nonprofit mobilising youth and young adults to change the culture around mental health, announced that the philanthropist had offered an unrestricted gift worth $20 million.

Her massive donation to the nonprofit follows five years after her previous $4 million gift and is now the largest in the organisation’s history.
