MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has sold another $8 billion of her Amazon shares. This recent sale on September 30 cuts her Amazon holdings by 11 percent. Since 2019, Scott has sold or donated nearly two-thirds of her shares, distributing over $17.3 billion to more than 2,300 non-profits. Her donations often remain private unless disclosed by recipients. Scott’s unique and simple approach to giving has made her one of the most generous donors in the U.S. Currently, her wealth stands at $30 billion, down from a peak of $59 billion in 2021.
