MacKenzie Scott, the former spouse of Amazon.com’s billionaire CEO Jeff Bezos, divested 65.3 million shares in the e-commerce giant last year.
This move accounts for approximately 25% of Scott’s Amazon stake, valued at $10.4 billion based on Amazon’s closing price on Friday, as reported in a regulatory filing.
In 2019, Scott acquired a 4% stake in Amazon as part of her divorce settlement, initially valued at $36 billion, elevating her to one of the world’s wealthiest women.
Despite not immediately confirming the filing, Scott, who pledged to donate half of her fortune to charity in 2019, has already contributed millions to various causes. As of Friday, her net worth reached $42.6 billion, according to Forbes.
