亿万富翁、贝佐斯前妻麦肯齐(MacKenzie Scott)近日发博文表示,自己在过去四个月已经捐赠超过41亿元。而在此之前,今年一到七月,她已经捐出17亿。

亚马逊狂飙的股价让麦肯齐的个人财富今年上涨了238亿至607亿。根据彭博社的亿万富豪指数,麦肯齐在全球财富排名第18位。

麦肯齐表示,“疫情让那些本就在挣扎的美国人的生活再度遭遇碾压。对于女性、少数族裔和贫困人群,经济损失和健康问题更令人堪忧。与此同时,亿万富翁们的财富却显著增加。”

因此,在今年年初,麦肯齐就要求自己的顾问帮助她加快捐赠的步伐,希望“直接帮助到那些在疫情中经济遭受损失的人们”。为此,她向美国384家机构包括食物赈济组织、紧急资金援助机构、弱势群体服务机构进行了捐赠。

去年,麦肯齐加入了比尔盖茨和巴菲特联合发起的“捐赠誓言”(the Giving Pledge)。加入该誓言的富豪们必须承诺此生将自己超过一半的财富捐给慈善机构。
