McKenzie Scott,Jeff Bezos ex-wife, filed for divorce from her second spouse
Less than two years after being married, McKenzie Scott and her husband, Dan Jewett, a former science teacher, are divorcing.
The Giving Pledge is a philanthropic organization that urges the world’s wealthiest people to donate the bulk of their fortune to charity causes. In 2021, McKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett announced their marriage with a statement on their webpage for the organization.
As part of a strategy to give away the majority of her fortune, Scott has donated billions of dollars.
Jewett stated in his speech on Giving Pledge in 2021, “I am married to one of the most giving and nicest persons I know — and joining her in a commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others.” I’m excited about the opportunities for development and learning that this project with MacKenzie will provide.
The Times reported on September 28 that Jewett’s letter appeared to have vanished from the Giving Pledge website and that Ms. Scott recently removed his name out of a Medium piece she had written about their gifts last year.
According to the NYT, Scott also removed Jewett’s author information from Amazon.com.
