MacKenzie Scott And Husband Are Giving Away Billions
Philanthropist and the world's 22nd richest person, MacKenzie Scott, has remarried after her divorce with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Scott’s husband Dan Jewett works as a science teacher in Seattle. The announcement of the marriage was done by Dan with his statement to the Giving Pledge, a webpage for the charitable causes.
