Here's how Jeff Bezos' philanthropy compares to ex-wife MacKenzie Scott's:
A tale of two philanthropies: Bezos seems to prefer long-term pledges and commitments, while ex-wife Scott's donations are flying out the door.Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had just been to space—not a bad accomplishment for a Tuesday—but wasn’t yet done performing impressive feats when he sat down for his post-launch press conference.
Bezos’ known charitable gifts, totaling more than $13 billion, would rank him among the biggest donors ever. Except all but about $1.5 billion of that sum are pledges of future money—meaning he hasn’t given the cash away yet. Meanwhile, another major Amazon stockholder is giving away a greater percentage of her fortune, and doing it much faster: Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.
In total, Bezos’ pledges of $12 billion amount to 6% of his current $200 billion fortune. But with $1.5 billion in known out-the-door donations, so far Bezos has actually given away less than one percent of his current net worth. Scott, meanwhile, has already given away 14% of her current net worth —including 10% in a single year.
