MacKenzie Scott has wowed just about everyone with her approach to philanthropy. (Except for Elon Musk, who implied the billionaire philanthropist makes the world a worse place).
The fascination with Scott doesn’t just have to do with the amount the novelist and ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has given away—more than $26 billion—but also the pace at which she’s doled it out. She’s given away that sum of money in just a matter of a few years, which steers heavily away from how billionaires usually give away their fortunes.
