MacKenzie Bezos Pledges Half of Fortune to Charity

Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife MacKenzie will give half of her $36 billion fortune to charitable efforts.

MacKenzie Bezos has signed an initiative started by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. 19 other people pledged to the “Giving Campaign” on Tuesday.

The campaign asks the super-rich to give half of their assets away during their lifetime or in their wills. 204 people have signed up for the program.

Mackenzie’s divorce from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was finalized in April. She received her reported $35 billion stake in the company in the settlement.
