Most expensive celebrity divorces
Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott
MacKenzie Scott’s $59.3 billion fortune is in part derived from a 4% stake in Amazon.com Inc., which she received as part of her breakup from Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man. The Amazon stake was worth about $36 billion at the time of her divorce, according to Bloomberg.
Scott, 50, is now the world’s 22nd-richest person with a net worth of $53.5 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Since her divorce in 2019, she has given billions of dollars away to charity, cementing her position as one of the most important philanthropists of her generation.
