MacKenzie Scott is an American novelist, philanthropist and ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com. She pursued her degree in English under the famous writer and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, under whom she continued to train and research after college. Her work has been recognised by the ‘American Book Award’ for ‘Outstanding Literary Achievement’ in 2006. MacKenzie Scott and Jeff Bezos have been most supportive of each other’s careers. Her one-star review of the book The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone was well appreciated as it brought out the inadequacies in the publication that she felt did not give the correct picture of her husband’s enterprise. Jeff and MacKenzie have four children together and they got divorced in 2019. She supports several charities and has committed to give at least half of her wealth to charity. In 2021, she got married to Dan Jewitt, a high school teacher.
