MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, continues her significant philanthropic efforts. Recently, she donated $59 million to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and $45 million to The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention organization. These donations are part of her ongoing commitment to giving away the majority of her wealth following her divorce from the Amazon founder.

Scott's recent donations are substantial. She gave away $7.1 billion in 2025 alone, bringing her total donations since 2019 to $26.3 billion. This occurs as Bezos reportedly faces legal challenges, including a dispute with his new wife, Lauren Sanchez's, brother. The legal issues may be related to the exposure of Bezos and Sanchez's relationship.

After their divorce, Scott's net worth is approximately $32.5 billion, according to Forbes, while Bezos's is around $230.2 billion. The legal battles involving Bezos and Sanchez's family could potentially impact his public image and financial dealings. These large charitable donations by Scott stand in contrast to the ongoing legal and financial matters surrounding her ex-husband.

Scott's actions demonstrate a commitment to using her wealth for social good, focusing on mental health and LGBTQ youth support. Her giving also highlights the vast disparity in wealth, and the impact of these enormous donations is felt by many. Her giving is also a stark contrast to the legal battles the Bezos family is facing.
