MacKenzie Scott's Wealth and Short Marriage to Dan Jewett

In 2019, MacKenzie Scott finalized her divorce from Jeff Bezos after a 25-year marriage, reportedly acquiring a considerable share of his Amazon wealth. Some estimates indicated she might have received around a quarter of Bezos' shares valued at approximately $53 billion in 2021, cementing her status as one of the richest women globally.

In 2021, she tied the knot with Dan Jewett, a Seattle chemistry teacher known for his dedication to education, making him the wealthiest educator internationally. Their private marriage surprised many, particularly since Jewett was not a known public figure. The couple's connection stemmed from their meeting at the private school attended by Scott's children, leading to a bond marked by their shared commitments to philanthropy. Jewett expressed admiration for Scott, acknowledging her generous nature and joining her in the Giving Pledge, which encourages the wealthy to donate a significant portion of their fortunes to charitable causes.

The couple’s relationship, however, was relatively short-lived. In 2022, Scott filed for divorce, which was finalized in January 2023 without the need for a trial or spousal support. The separation was amicable; afterward, Scott removed references to Jewett from her public profiles and redirected her attention toward her writing and philanthropic projects. While there is no clear information on whether Jewett received financial support post-divorce, Scott continues to hold her position as one of the wealthiest women, recently ranking fifth on Forbes' list, while Jewett has returned to his private life in Seattle.
