- Scott, 50, is the world`s 22nd-richest person worth some $53 billion, according to Forbes.
- Her 2019 divorce from Bezos after 25 years of marriage left her with a 4% stake in Amazon.
- In December, Scott said she had donated over $4.1 billion in the four months prior to food banks and emergency relief funds amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
- That followed donations of $1.7 billion last year to causes including racial equality, LGBTQ rights, public health and climate change.
Dan Jewett
- "I join with the kindest and most thoughtful person I know in making this pledge, grateful for the exceptional privilege it will be to partner in giving away assets with the potential to do so much good when shared," Jewett said in the post.
