MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has built one of the largest philanthropic legacies in America. But one of her most striking efforts has focused on a problem that affects millions of households: medical debt.
Through donations of more than $100 million since 2020 to Undue Medical Debt, formerly known as RIP Medical Debt, Scott helped turn the nonprofit into a national force. The organization has since abolished more than $40 billion in medical debt across all 50 states, providing relief to millions of Americans.
