MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, sold $10B in Amazon shares in 2023

Sounds like a prime deal.

Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, sold off about a quarter of her stake in Amazon last year, according to a regulatory filing.

Scott unloaded nearly 65.3 million shares, which would be worth about $10.4 billion at the stock’s Friday closing price, Bloomberg News reported.

The sales leave her owning about 1.9% of the tech giant, on Friday.

Scott, 52, has sold off about half of her total shares in the company over the past five years.\

Amazon still makes up the bulk of her estimated $37.6 billion net worth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The novelist and philanthropist became the richest woman in the world after divorcing founder Bezos in 2019.

She received 4% of Amazon’s total shares in the settlement.

They were worth $36 billion at the time.

She was ranked the fourth wealthiest woman in America last year, according to Forbes. But does not lead an ostentatious lifestyle like her ex, who is regularly seen at high-profile fashion shows, hobnobbing in celeb hotspots and cruising around in his superyacht.

Scott took a pledge in 2019 to donate half her fortune to charity and has since given over $16.5 billion to more than 1,900 organizations, according to her website.

She doled out over $2 billion just in the past year, according to reports.

Scott was married to Bezos for nearly 25 years and has four children with him.

A 2019 scandal exposed how the tech tycoon cheated on her.

She reportedly finalized her second divorce in January 2023 after one year of marriage to Dan Jewett, a chemistry teacher at her kids’ private school.

Jewett is not seeking spousal support from Scott, court documents revealed.
