随着近期科技股大涨,亚马逊创始人杰夫•贝索斯前妻麦肯齐•斯科特成为世界上最富有的女性。她是一名作家和慈善家。
据NBC News报道,亚马逊股价的飙涨——自2020年初以来从每股2000美元上涨至3500美元——使得斯科特登上亿万富豪榜单。根据彭博亿万富豪指数,斯科特目前是全球第12大富豪,也是世界上最富有的女性,超越了此前拥有这一殊荣的欧莱雅继承人弗朗索瓦丝•贝当古•梅耶斯。
2019年离婚时,斯科特是世界上第四富有的女性,排在贝当古•梅耶斯、沃尔玛家族的爱丽丝•沃尔顿和糖果帝国玛氏的杰奎琳•巴杰•马尔斯之后。这三位女性的净资产保持相对稳定,受近期科技股飙升的影响较小。
目前,斯科特的净资产为674亿美元。2019年,按照亚马逊当时的股价计算,她的财富估计为360亿美元。按照其与贝索斯的离婚协议,她保留了两人亚马逊共同持股的25%,也就是整个公司约4%的股份。
离婚后,斯科特成为了一名著名的慈善家。今年7月,她宣布将自己的姓氏从“贝索斯”改成“斯科特”。同月,她对外公开了自己的一些慈善捐赠情况,过去一年里她共计捐出了17亿美元。那些捐赠包括给传统黑人高校的历史性捐款。她还签署过“捐赠誓言”(Giving Pledge),加入其他富人的行列,承诺在有生之年捐出自己的大部分财富。这一决定值得注意,因为与众多共同作出该承诺的夫妇不同,斯科特当初是独自作出该承诺的,其前夫贝索斯并没有做出同样的承诺。
最近科技股的大涨也让世界首富贝索斯的财富水涨船高,使他成为历史上首位个人身价突破2000亿美元的人。(财富中文网)

MacKenzie Scott in 2018.

MacKenzie Scott, the writer, philanthropist, and former wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is the richest woman in the world following a recent tech stock surge.
NBC News reports that the rise in Amazon’s stock—which has spiked from $2,000 to $3,500 per share since the beginning of 2020—has propelled Scott up the billionaires’ list. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Scott is now the 12th richest person and the No. 1 wealthiest woman in the world, sitting one place ahead of L’Oréal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, who previously held the distinction.
After her 2019 divorce, Scott was the fourth-richest woman in the world, behind Bettencourt Meyers, Alice Walton of the Walmart family, and Jacqueline Badger Mars of the Mars candy empire. The net worth of each of those women has remained relatively steady, less affected by the recent surge in tech stocks.
Scott’s net worth is currently pegged at $67.4 billion. In 2019, her fortune was estimated at $36 billion based on Amazon’s share price at the time. In her separation from Bezos, Scott retained 25% of the couple’s stock in Amazon, or about a 4% stake in the entire company.
Since her divorce, Scott—who announced a name change from Bezos in July—has emerged as a prominent philanthropist. That month, she revealed details of some of her charitable commitments, totaling $1.7 billion given over the prior year. Those donations included historic gifts to historically Black colleges and universities. She has also signed the Giving Pledge, a commitment among the wealthy to give away a significant portion of their money over their lifetimes—a notable decision because, in contrast to many couples who make the pledge together, Scott did so independently of her former husband, who has not made the same promise.
The recent tech stock tear has increased the wealth of Bezos, the richest man in the world, to $205 billion, making him the first person in history to be worth more than $200 billion.
