Amazon titan Jeff Bezoss ex-wife revealed Tuesday that she has given away nearly $1.7 billion to nonprofits battling everything from racial and gender inequities to global warming.
Like many, I watched the first half of 2020 with a mixture of heartbreak and horror, MacKenzie Bezos wrote in an open letter posted on the Web site Medium.
Life will never stop finding fresh ways to expose inequities in our systems; or waking us up to the fact that a civilization this imbalanced is not only unjust, but also unstable.
MacKenzie whose divorce from Jeff made her one of the richest women in the world, with an estimated fortune of at least $36 billion pledged last year to donate half her money to charity.
In her statement Tuesday, the philanthropist listed more than 115 charities she has given money to so far, including everyone from the Movement for Black Lives, the Harlem Childrens Zone-COVID-19 Relief and Recovery and Hispanic Scholarship Fund to the National Womens Law Center, Obama Foundation and George W. Bush Presidential Center.

You’d think that for a few billion dollars she ought to be able to afford her own last name.
Same here. I only need $40k for a 2021 F-150.
The amounts flushed away to Leftist causes are mind boggling. And even to GWB’s & Obama’s foundations — as if they need it.
Guarantee if you look up these phony “charities” in Navigator, most all will show exorbitant overhead rates and little trickling down to those truly in need. Corrupt, tax exempt, self-enrichment ripoffs (see: The Clinton Foundation).
Im a charity...
...
That reminds me of how Warren Buffett is donating his wealth to charities run by his children.
She’s 16.3 Billion short if she’s giving away half her wealth.
Typical. “Look at me! I’m doing good things!”
Shes donated 1.7 billion of her husbands hard earned money.
Fixed for accuracy
LOOKITMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The Bible says not to brag about your charity
But not this bitch
Please....MacKenzie Bezos donate every last dime.
She could have earmarked the money for underpaid, overworked Amazon employees but she and her ex think those people are lower then whale snot
“...a civilization this imbalanced is not only unjust, but also unstable.”
Yeah, FAR too many ultra-rich people running around, creating millions of jobs. Can’t have that. She sounds like a bitter, liberal harridan.
She will have very nice seats in the UN, WTO, WHO and UNESCO boardrooms.
Btw — Any wagers on the next UN Secretary General?
Very disappointing. Also missing was the Reblebase for Rebelbase Foundation.
Better be blm or else....... Just sayin’.
Easy to give away other people’s money.
