MacKenzie Scott

After her divorce from Jeff Bezos in 2019, Scott signed the Giving Pledge and chose an unusual method: large unrestricted gifts to organisations her team researches quietly, with no application process, no foundation and few reporting demands. She has given away more than 26 billion dollars since 2019, about 7 billion in 2025 alone, though rising Amazon shares have kept her net worth high. Her Yield Giving website now publishes the gifts.
