BEZOS’ billionaire ex-wife Mackenzie Scott’s marriage to Dan Jewett has left her lovestruck fans heartbroken.
The 50-year-old Mackenzie tied the knot with Dan Jewett, a high school science teacher from Washington two years after her divorce from Bezos.
The news of her marriage have sparked hilarious comments among her love-stricken fans on Twitter.
One Twitter user said: “Mackenzie Scott’s new husband is living my dream.”
Another one added: “I’m making plans for a career change. I wanna pívot to being a science teacher.”
A comment reads: “Fun Fact: Thousands of Men are changing their Tinder profiles from “entrepreneur” & “finance” to: “HS Science Teacher”.”
Another one comments: “I guess #MackenzieScott has a type. Good for her. Giving her money to charity and finding happiness in love. I might shave my head and see if I can bag a billionaire.”
“Her new hubby looks like her ex & vice versa,”someone commented.
Mr Jewett announced the marriage with Mackenzie in a post on The Giving Pledge 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,” he 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.”
Scott, who divorced the Amazon CEO in 2019 after 25 years of marriage, has a net worth of more than $60 billion.
But she has donated $1.7 billion of her wealth to a number of causes including climate change, racial inequality and public health, since her divorce.
In a Medium post, Scott wrote that she had pledged to give the majority of her wealth “back to the society that helped generate it”.
“Like many, I watched the first half of 2020 with a mixture of heartbreak and horror,” she wrote
She added that she had recruited a team of non-profit advisors to help her find and assess organizations that were having “major impact” on a variety of causes.
“Though this work is ongoing and will last for years,” she continued, “I’m posting an update today because my own reflection after recent events revealed a dividend of privilege I’d been overlooking: the attention I can call to organizations and leaders driving change.”
