MacKenzie Scott is back in the headlines for her philanthropic work. According to reports, Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has been donating large sums to charity, and it seems Elon Musk does not agree with her approach to giving. Amid the ongoing debate about the same, let’s take a quick look at who MacKenzie is and her philosophy behind “no strings” donations.
MacKenzie Scott donated over USD 26.3 billion to charity
MacKenzie Scott has a net worth of USD 31.4 billion, according to Forbes’ real-time net worth data. And that is after donating over USD 26 billion to charity. The news was first shared by an X post by Pubity alleging that MacKenzie had shared a hefty sum of USD 26.3 billion to charity, making her one of the biggest individual donors in history, and that she wanted to spend most of her Bezos fortune “on helping others and making the world a better place.”Â
However, it seems like Elon Musk disagrees with her approach to philanthropy. In a reply to a user’s comment on X, he expressed his dismay. An X user replied, “Unfortunately, she’s spending it making the world a worse place.” To which Elon responded, saying, “Sadly, yes.” For the unversed, his comment comes in response to MacKenzie Scott’s “no strings attached” style of giving.
