Why we should remember her name.

POSTED BY LEE GIFFEN

The name Mackenzie Scott could possibly ring a bell whilst thinking of Jeff Bezos, Mr. Amazon himself. However, Mackenzie Scott is much more than ex-wife of Bezos, in fact during the pandemic, some refer to her as “a beam of light”. Let’s dive deeper into who Mackenzie Scott is and why we should remember her name. 

Scott is a highly respected novelist, earning rewards for her work, as well as being a successful entrepreneur, founding Bystander Revolution in 2014. Scott can also be associated with famous author Toni Morrison, as she used to be her student. 

More widely known for her marriage to Jeff Bezos, she kept her life on the private side in the midst of it all. Scott chose to spend her time writing novels and taking care of four children, all while Bezos created his Amazon empire. 

Scott brought attention to her name last year, when she became one of the biggest individual donators in history, by giving away a whopping $1.7 billion dollars to non-profit organizations. Scott refused to accept thank you notes or lavish dedications in her honor, she simply chose to help others during a crucial time. She is truly a “beam of light”.
