MacKenzie Scott Files For Divorce: NYT

SEATTLE — Seattle billionaire, philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott has filed for divorce from her second husband Monday, a few months shy of two years since the pair announced their marriage, according to the New York Times.

Scott married Dan Jewett, a former chemistry teacher at Seattle's Lakeside School, in March 2021, two years after her divorce from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. According to Forbes, Scott's divorce from Bezos provided her a 4 percent stake in the behemoth online retailer, and her current net worth is listed around $35 billion.

Scott signed on to the Giving Pledge in 2019, a commitment to give away at least half of her wealth over her lifetime, and has since donated billions to organizations locally and around the world.

As The New York Times reports, Scott filed a divorce petition through King County Superior Court on Monday. Jewitt's name has been removed many of the former couple's philanthropic announcements and Scott's online bios.
