The world’s richest man gets married again … and Jeff Bezos comments

MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Jeff Bezos and one of the world’s richest women, married a science teacher in Seattle, who immediately announced that he was planning to help donate most of their fortune to charity.

Dan Jewitt, a private school teacher, referred to the marriage on the website of the “Giving Blog” campaign, or “The Pledge of Giving,” launched by billionaire Bill Gates, his wife Melinda and billionaire Warren Buffett to encourage billionaires to do philanthropy, according to Bloomberg.

For his part, Bezos said in a statement through a spokesperson for “Amazon”: “Dan is a great man, and I am happy and excited for both of them. Bezos, who is the founder of the” Amazon “e-commerce company, is the richest person in the world with a fortune of $ 176.6 billion.
“In a stroke of happy coincidence, I am married to one of the most generous and kind people I know, and join her in committing to transfer an enormous financial fortune to the service of others,” Jewett wrote in a post on March 6 on Scott’s page.

Jewitt said in the letter that it is

He was a teacher for the majority of his life and never “sought to amass the kind of wealth required” for charitable undertakings.

Scott, 50, ranks 22nd on the list of the richest people in the world with a net worth of $ 53.5 billion, and since her divorce from Bezos in 2019, she has become one of the most important philanthropists of her generation.

Scott made nearly $ 6 billion last year, what may be a record annual bid for someone alive, and the money has gone primarily to small charities like black colleges that don’t necessarily benefit from the billionaire’s generosity.
