spelman college also [announced today that she donated $38 million](https://www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/atlantas-spelman-college-38-million-gift-philanthropist-mackenzie-scott/)
The closest thing we’ll ever have to a good billionaire
I love to see her using her money for good.
In a world with billionaires, be* a Mackenzie Scott. Not a Bezos.
*typo
$38 MM to Alabama State University and $40 MM African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, as well.
We should absolutely have a billionaire tax, but in the meantime it’s great to see donations to HBCUs and charities!
The wild thing is she’s richer than she was when she walked away
Love that she uses her money like this!
I sure do hope that Howard uses this for its students cough cough cough
An angel
I just LOVE this woman!!!
How did she tolerate that numbnut for so many years? She seems to have a good head on her shoulders.
A lot of large universities act essentially as investment funds that also run a school.
I hope there are stipulations so that the money actually benefits students instead of the university still raising tuition anyway.
