MacKenzie Scott has given away $26 billion and rarely speaks publicly. Now she’s releasing a novel—but you won’t find it on Amazon
The billionaire philanthropist and novelist studied under Toni Morrison and is releasing her first novel since 2013.
MacKenzie Scott, a renowned philanthropist and ex-wife of Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, has generously donated over $26 billion to various charitable causes in recent years. However, she has managed to maintain a low profile throughout her philanthropic endeavors. Now, Scott is returning to her literary roots, having studied under the esteemed writer Toni Morrison.
She recently released her new novel, Last Days in Two Nations, on Substack, an open platform, rather than through a traditional publishing house or major bookseller, like Amazon. Scott's net worth is estimated at over $38 billion, mainly due to her substantial stake in Amazon shares, received during her divorce from Bezos in 2019.
Scott first studied under Morrison at Princeton University in the early 1990s, and Morrison's guidance significantly aided Scott's writing career.
