As one of the richest women in the world she is showing everyone that wealth can be shared and the world is much better off when we help one another. Though she has remained largely out of the spotlight for years, now she is making a name for herself in helping others. In 2014, she founded an anti-bullying organization, Bystander Revolution, and currently serves as its executive director. MacKenzie Scott is no stranger to philanthropy. Above all, she plans to continue donating in the days to come. She is splitting the $1.7B among various non-profits, HBCUs, civil rights organizations, healthcare institutes, and more. With the coronavirus rewriting how we conduct our daily lives and racial tensions running rampant across the U.S., Scott decided to make a change. Like most of us, Scott watches in shock as 2020 continues to unfold as one of the worst years in recent American history. Shortly after her divorce settlement, Scott pledged to donate the majority of her wealth and announced in July 2020 she would be giving away $1.7B. But what Scott did with the money is truly remarkable. The settlement consequently made MacKenzie Scott one of the richest women in the world. After the divorce was finalized in April 2019, Bezos kept 75% of the couple’s Amazon stock and Scott received the remaining 25%, which equalled to $35.6 billion. In 2019, Scott and Bezos announced they were filing for divorce after a long period of separation. Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon
