Jeff Bezos’ billionaire ex-wife MacKenzie Scott marries Seattle science teacher Dan Jewett after divorcing Amazon tycoon
MACKENZIE Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon Billionaire Jeff Bezos, has remarried.
The 50-year-old tied the knot with a high school science teacher from Washington two years after her divorce from Bezos.
Mr Jewett announced the marriage with Mackenzie in a post on a platform where celebrities and the world's richest commit to giving away the majority of their wealth throughout their lifetime.
"It is strange to be writing a letter indicating I plan to give away the majority of my wealth during my lifetime, as I have never sought to gather the kind of wealth required to feel like saying such a thing would have particular meaning," Mr Jewett wrote.
He added: "And now, in a stroke of happy coincidence, I am married to one of the most generous and kind people I know—and joining her in a commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others."
Speaking of Mackenzie in his pledge, Mr Jewett wrote: "I have seen many ways that MacKenzie has seen her efforts enhanced when she acts on the belief that those with common values but different perspectives, strengths, and experiences are essential to effecting positive change.
"We are united in that understanding and in our excitement for all we have to learn from so many people working in service of others."
According to , Mr Jewett worked as a chemistry teacher at Lakeside School where Scott's kids attended.
Jeff Bezos and Mackenzie divorced in 2019 after 25 years of marriage and share four kids.
After their split, Mr Bezos agreed to a $35billion divorce settlement – along with a quarter of his Amazon stake to his ex-wife.
According to Forbes' real-time billionaire list, as of Sunday, Mackenzie had a net worth of around $53billion making her the world's 22nd richest person.
