By: Chelsea A | Date Added:
MacKenzie Scott was born on April 7, 1970 in San Francisco, California, to a financial planner father and homemaker mother. She claims to have begun seriously writing at the age of 6, when she wrote a 142-page book, titled The Book Worm, which was destroyed in a flood. In 1988, she graduated from Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut. In 1992, Tuttle earned her bachelor's degree in English at Princeton University, where she studied under the Nobel Laureate in Literature Toni Morrison, who described her as "one of the best students I've ever had in my creative writing classes". She also worked as a research assistant to Morrison for the 1992 novel Jazz. She is an American novelist and philanthropist. As of December 30, 2020, she has a net worth of $59.8 billion, making her the second-wealthiest woman in the world, and the 18th-wealthiest individual overall. She is known for her marriage and high-profile divorce from Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, and for her involvement in the founding of Amazon. She is a signatory to the Giving Pledge, a commitment to give at least half of her wealth to charity. In 2020, she made close to $6 billion in charitable gifts, one of the biggest annual distributions by a private individual to working charities. In 2006, Scott won the American Book Award for her 2005 debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright. Her second novel, Traps, was published in 2013. Scott has been executive director of Bystander Revolution since she founded it in 2014, and was named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020.
