The Wealthiest Woman In The World
Mac Kenzie Scott is the wealthiest woman in the world. Here is her entire career on wikipedia
Early life and career [ edit ]
MacKenzie Scott Tuttle was born on April 7, 1970, in San Francisco, California . Her father was a financial planner . [9] In 1988, she graduated from Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut . [10] Tuttle earned her bachelor's degree in English at Princeton University with highest honors in 1992. [6] She studied under writer Toni Morrison , who said Tuttle was "one of the best students I've ever had" in her creative writing classes. [9]
After graduating, she worked for D. E. Shaw , a quantitative hedge fund in New York, as a recruiter and a writer from 1992 to 1994. There, she worked for Jeff Bezos , then a senior vice-president, as a research associate . [11] MacKenzie wrote her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright , eleven years later in 2005 for which she won an American Book Award in 2006. Her second novel, Traps , was published in 2013.
In 2014, MacKenzie founded Bystander Revolution , an anti-bullying organization, where she serves as executive director. [12]
Thats all of it. Not a word in the section on her career that would indicate why she is the wealthiest woman in the world. To see that information we have to look elsewhere on the page
MacKenzie was married to Jeff Bezos , founder of Amazon and Blue Origin , from 1993 to 2019.

I hope she plans to do something outstandingly good for humanity with her 68 billion dollars , all of which she 'inherited' , via divorce.

In a sense she won the biggest lottery of all time.
I would rather see a world where a Jeff Bezos cannot accumulate 200 billion dollars of personal fortune.
MacKenzie Scott has nabbed the title of the world's richest woman , sitting atop the U.S. billionaires list alongside her ex-husband Jeff Bezos , who has long held the title of the world's wealthiest man.
Scott is now No. 12 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , with a net worth of about $68 billion as of Thursday.

The novelist went through a very public divorce from the Amazon founder and CEO, which was finalized in 2019. The separation left her with a 4% stake in the online shopping giant, or around $36 billion at the time. Since then, however, the e-commerce giant has seen exponential growth due to a surge in online orders over the course of the pandemic.
Scott previously affirmed that she would be donating a hefty amount of her wealth to charity.
Her commitment to helping others is already taking place.

She needs to give away billions and billions, not 20 million. But obviously it is a start and a boon for the NA recipients.
And she is continuing donations at a very fast pace. She has also signed the ''giving pledge''.
okey dokey
I was about to post something very snarky... ... ... but I guess I won't.
Regardless of how she earned/won/stumbled into her money, she is indeed a living example of philanthropic generosity. I guarantee that you wouldn't see this kind of thing with some of the more visible celebrities who are millionaires/billionaires.
On a stern note: I know where you were trying to go with this article. Please spank yourself.
LOL
I am willing to accept that as a fact. But she still "stumbled" into 68 billion dollars. And only she will decide where the charity money goes. So her generosity is at the whim of her likes and dislikes.

Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World ...
“ Winners Take All is the book I have been waiting for—the most important intervention yet regarding elite-driven solutions, a vitally important problem to expose. The book courageously answers so many of the critical questions about how, despite much good will and many good people, we struggle to achieve progress in twenty-first-century ...
That's her prerogative, I suppose. It's her $$.
What would you do with that much money? What would your philanthropic endeavors include?
Oh you know I would have to think about that.
Thats actually the point. People who support the concept of great individual wealth , billionaires say it is a good thing because most such people give millions of dollars to charity. But what if their charities are not the same "charities" that would have been served had that money instead ,say, gone to taxes which fund government programs for the needy.
I'm not saying that MacKenzie Scott won't give her money to worthy causes, I am saying why is it up to her?
She shouldnt have 68 billion dollars to give away.
That's what I love to see. Truly wealthy people who help others. She's up there with Bill Gates, who donates much of his wealth to worthy causes. More of the truly wealthy need to follow in her/their footsteps.
