Jeff Bezos’ Ex-Wife Slashes Amazon Stake After Report He & His New Wife Are Going to Court For Money
The Jeff Bezos and Mackenzie Scott drama is pretty well known. At this point in the story, Scott has moved on—with a lot of money—and Bezos has married again, to journalist Lauren Sánchez. So, people are mostly worried about the new couple and, of course, Mackenzie Scott’s charitable endeavors. Because that’s what the former Mrs. Bezos has mostly spent her money on.
And now, come reports that Scott has slashed her stake in Amazon by about 42%, or $12.6 billion, over the past year. That’s quite a number, and yet not one that seems to have made as much of a dent as one would believe in her fortune. The philanthropist now holds 81.1 million shares of the company her ex-husband founded, down 58 million from this time last year, according to Bloomberg.
