MacKenzie Bezos, who got more than $35 billion in her divorce to Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos, said she will donate roughly half of her wealth to charities.
Bezos, 49, became the latest person to join The Giving Pledge, an organization created by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett that invites billionaires to commit to donate more than half of their fortune to philanthropy or charitable causes either during their lifetime or in their will.
"No drive has more positive ripple effects than the desire to be of service. There are lots of resources each of us can pull from our safes to share with others — time, attention, knowledge, patience, creativity, talent, effort, humor, compassion," Bezos said in a May 25 letter on the organization's website.
"In addition to whatever assets life has nurtured in me, I have a disproportionate amount of money to share. My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful. It will take time and effort and care. But I won’t wait. And I will keep at it until the safe is empty," she added.
Jeff Bezos tweeted Tuesday morning that his ex-wife "is going to be amazing and thoughtful and effective at philanthropy.
