MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, accounted for roughly one-third of all major U.S. 'megagift' charitable donations last year, according to a new report.
Her contributions totalled nearly $7 billion in a single year, bringing her overall giving through her philanthropy initiative Yield Giving to more than $26.3 billion across thousands of non-profits.
The latest figures highlight her as one of the most influential philanthropists in the U.S., alongside other major donors including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Michael Bloomberg.
