Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott gave away more than anyone else on Earth in 2025, here's the list of all organisations she donated to including the one under FBI investigation

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos divorced MacKenzie Scott in 2019 after 25 years of marriage. After the divorce, Scott received roughly a 4% stake in Amazon, amounting to about 139 million shares at the time. We are in 2026 and Scott has given away more than 75% of her Amazon shares, donating around $26 billion giving sprint in seven years. Last year alone, she donated a record $7.2 billion, making her the third-biggest philanthropist of all-time, Forbes report says. It’s also the most donated in a single year since Forbes started tracking top givers in 2012, the report says.With the donations made in 2025, Scott has given more than world’s richest billionaires– Elon Musk, Larry Page, Larry Ellison and her ex-husband Bezos have in their lifetimes combined.

Mackenzie Scott becomes 3rd biggest philanthropist in US

Forbes recently published its list of America’s Top 25 Philanthropists. According to the list, Warren Buffett topped the list with a lifetime giving of $68.3 billion, followed by Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates who have a lifetime giving of $52.6 billion. Mackenzie Scott came in third with a total lifetime giving of $26.4 billion, donating 46% of her net worth. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilia Chan also appeared in the list who have donTED $6.1 billion so far.

List of organisations Mackenzie Scott donated to

Scott has donated to hundreds of organisations in 2025. Among many of her 2025 donations went to causes focused on DEI, disaster recovery, and higher education, one has sparked debate. In a December 9 blog post written, Scott said her philanthropic organization Yield Giving donated to Solidaire Network, which says it “nurtures relationships between social movements and members to create regenerative systems rooted in love and justice.” "This means in practice that the network has funded organizations including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), the US Palestinian Community Network, and the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), according to tax filings and press releases from the Solidaire Network," the report said. It is also facing investigations in both the House and Senate for allegedly coordinating with terror group Hamas to start anti-Israel protests in the U.S, Forbes reported.List of organisations:
