Scott Surpasses Bezos in Philanthropy, Donating Five Times More Amid Ongoing Giving Spree

Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott's fortunes remain closely tied to Amazon despite their divorce in 2019.

Bezos, with a net worth of $280 billion, owns approximately 879.74 million shares of the company, while Scott received around 139 million shares as part of her settlement, equivalent to roughly 4% of Amazon's total stock.

Scott has emerged as one of the world's most prominent philanthropists, donating nearly $27 billion to over 2,500 organizations since her divorce. In 2025 alone, she donated $7.2 billion, a pace that is strikingly different from Bezos' approach to philanthropy.

While Bezos has committed substantial sums to the Bezos Earth Fund, distributing around $2.4 billion so far, Scott's lifetime giving exceeds his by a significant margin. Despite donating billions, Scott remains worth approximately $34 billion, thanks in part to the value of her Amazon shares and assets.
