Scott generosity

MacKenzie Scott has given away $4 billion of her $60-billion-ish fortune in just four months. Scott—Jeff Bezos' ex-wife—has seen her stash surge along with Amazon's share price this year, and she's asked her team to come up with ways to give more away more quickly. Her focus: groups "operating in communities facing high projected food insecurity, high measures of racial inequity, high local poverty rates, and low access to philanthropic capital." Fortune

Easy to give away when you did nothing to earn it.

A real tough gig working on her staff.

"Hi, I'm John. I'm calling today to see if you could use a billion dollars."

Methinks she gave away a lot to earn it, if you know what I'm sayin'.
