On her Instagram account, MacKenzie Scott (53) has only
one photo of herself published.
An image resulting from a cohort of comments that symbolize the most representative of
a United States divided
between the Californian-postmodern and the patriotic-conservative.
Jeff Bezos' ex-wife receives praise for having donated
hundreds of millions of dollars
in recent years, but also criticism for choosing
left-wing causes
to work her miracle.
The insult of a misogynist
who claims that giving away the money from her multimillion-dollar divorce is typically feminine behavior is followed by
the defense of a liberal
who advocates that he do what he wants with what belongs to him.
Then there are those who treat her as
if she were the fairy godmother
who, with magic and few taxes, grants all kinds of wishes: from necessary actions
to alleviate hunger
and misery to others more questioned due to their
high level of politicization.

Owner of the
Yield Giving foundation,
the Californian writer and lawyer has given a total of
$
640 million to
361 organizations.
122 of which have been allocated to funds to
support undocumented people
in the United States. One of the NGOs that has benefited the most from her generosity has been the Florida Immigrant Coalition, a
charity
openly
critical of the Republican Party
and its state governor, Ron DeSantis. The latter, known for his
radical ideas
against illegal immigration.
Another cause that the billionaire advocates for is everything related to
transgender issues
. Of the 72 million that it has given to LGBT societies, 18 have gone to various organizations that defend
trans athletes
being integrated into the
sport of the gender
with which
they feel identified.
Some of them are Transgender Law Center, ACLU of Alabama, Soccer without Borders and OutFront Minnesota.
MacKencie Scott has also become a
captain
of the so
-called
social justice warriors
.
A lobby that publicly protests against any cause it considers unjust. An example of this is the Gender Justice The Neighbor Project, which benefited from $2 million courtesy of Bezos' ex. A project that seeks to "build and
sustain a world free of gender barriers."
Something that "requires community organizing, education and
changing the way we talk
and think about gender."

Going into less subjective matters, Scott has given up
his $55 million mansion
in Beverly Hills to shelter
homeless people.
Some of whom are immigrants who receive a free aid and integration program.
San Francisco is also very concerned about
climate change.
During the five years of activity of its foundation, it has provided
liquidity of 18 million
to clean energy projects.
Scott has decided to be a Robin Hood since
she divorced
the founder of Amazon in 2019.
An infidelity
of the businessman with the journalist Lauren Sánchez, whom she is now going to marry, ended a
25-year relationship
. The couple had four children together: three biological children and a girl adopted from China.

Graduated with honors in English Philology from Princeton University,
Scott is the author of two books
and in 2006
won the American Book Award
, one of the most prestigious literary awards in the United States. The writer
met Bezos in New York
and shortly after she moved with him to Seattle. She then went to work on the E.Shaw fund, created by the founder of Amazon.
His philanthropy is not something new. In 2014, she founded Bystander Revolution, an
anti-bullying NGO.
However, while ecology, the fight against bullying or the protection of the weakest are reasons that
a majority of society supports,
the same does not happen with some of the commitments that it most supports.
Her Numantine defense of
the inclusion of trans women
in sports is not supported by a large majority of
female athletes.
Her way of understanding immigration without border control has also brought her controversy.

For his part, Bezos' donations have not been as controversial. In the same period of time as his ex, he has donated
$2 billion.
Most of them are intended to help the indigent.
His current fortune
amounts to
170 billion dollars.
Away from Amazon, he currently holds only
7% of the shares
of the company he created in Seattle in 1994. With the 2,000 million he has achieved from
the sale of his company
, he seeks to start a new life in Florida with Lauren Sánchez. Both will reside in
two adjoining mansions
in an exclusive neighborhood of Miami. One of which belonged to the daughter of businessman Publio Cordón and which the engineer bought for 56 million.
In addition to this budding married life, Bezos has a new dream:
to get his Blue Origin project off the ground,
a private aerospace company that aspires to compete with Elon Musk.
