The ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos doesn't have a website and doesn't talk publicly about her philanthropy-but has been using the blogging site to chronicle her efforts to give away her massive post-divorce fortune at a faster pace than any billionaire ever. When Scott publishes an update on Medium, the nonprofit world pays attention. Tk MacKenzie Scott Source of Wealth: Amazon Net Worth: $53.5 billion Giving Focus: Racial, gender and economic inequality Lifetime Giving: $8.61 billion Here’s the full list of America’s 25 most generous givers: citizens as a result, we excluded extended families like the Waltons, controlling shareholders of Walmart, and excluded big givers like Hansjoerg Wyss, who lives in the U.S. This is a list of individuals and couples who are U.S. To that end, we also do not include gifts that have been pledged but not yet paid out, or money given to donor-advised funds-opaque, tax-advantaged accounts that have neither disclosure nor distribution requirements-unless the giver shared details about the grants that were actually paid by such entities. Our estimates factor in the total lifetime giving of American billionaires, measured in dollars given to charitable recipients-in other words, we are not including money parked in a foundation that has yet to do any good. Nearly two-thirds have yet to give away even a quarter of their wealth, meaning there are a lot more zeros earmarked for charities in the years to come. But only two-Chuck Feeney and Soros (who has not signed The Giving Pledge)-have hit the mark so far. Seventeen of them have signed The Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half their fortune to charity over their lifetimes or upon their deaths. ![]() In all, they’re worth an estimated $1.1 trillion. ![]() ![]() These 25 philanthropists are a collective $150 billion richer than they were a year ago, up 18% each on average. Of course, with markets riding high, it’s easier to dole out billions.
