MacKenzie Scott has been using her 2020 for making insane charitable donations.

She recently announced that she would be giving away $4.2 billion to 384 organizations, which comes just four months after she donated $1.7 billion to 116 organizations, including four historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).


Scott wrote in a post for Medium, "The pandemic has been a wrecking ball in the lives of Americans already struggling. Economic losses and health outcomes alike have been worse for women, for people of color, and for people living in poverty. Meanwhile, it has substantially increased the wealth of billionaires."

Scott is the world's 18th-richest person with a net worth of $60.7 billion. Her wealth has only increased also due to Amazon's surge in stock as of late. She received a quarter of Jeff Bezo's Amazon stock in their 2019 divorce.
