      She is showing us what could be possible… all of the wealthy elite should be rising up to meet this standard

      She’s donated $26 billion dollars and she’s still one of the top 100 wealthiest people in the entire world. Imagine what the rest of the people on that list could accomplish, and they could still live a lifestyle of obscene luxury after giving away the vast majority of their wealth

      I read a quote somewhere like “Good things happen when women have money,” and this is an excellent example of this.

    4. Her style of donation is extra fun because she empowers the recipients to spend the donation as they need. Everyone wants to fund a library because it’s flashy but she’s fine with her donation going to non flashy things like janitorial raises etc.

      The other billionaires should be ashamed of themselves. But they’re sociopaths.

      Do all the narcissistic billionaires not see that this is the way to get people to actually like you

      She has since donated $26 billion yet her net worth has grown to $34–40 billion range due to stock performance and remaining holdings. And still no one sees a problem with the billionaire class. No individuals should have this kind of money

    8. God Bless her! This shows how fucking disgustingly selfish the rest of the filthy rich are

      Just highlights that every day, her fellow billionaires could do this and yet they decide not to. If they all gave like this, the world would be a markedly better place. But they just…choose not to do that.

      Scott has done incredible things with the money she rightfully obtained in the divorce, and I wish they’d stop referring to her as Bozo’s ex-wife.

      This is my fucking dream man. To have so much fucking money and just give it away to help people and the world.

      At this point she should be referred to as MacKenzie Scott. How many other uber rich philanthropic MacKenzies are there? Get his name away from her.

    13. There was a great conversation about female philanthropists vs male ones on the podcast with Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher where they talked about how women always give generously and anonymously. There was a women’s health non profit in Idaho or something and one day just had $10 million wired into their account. They didn’t know who it was from and they had to work to find out it was from Mackenzie.

      Whereas male philanthropists always want to ask a million questions about how the money will be spent, they want to be involved, and they want to have their name front and center.

      She is an extremely generous person. I don’t care that she’s a multibillionaire, she is giving more than almost all the billionaires by far.

      She’s changing the world and she’s still “Jeff bezos’ ex wife”
