Billionaire MacKenzie Scott Formerly Married To Jeff Bezos Files For Divorce From 2nd Husband
American novelist and billionaire philanthropist, MacKenzie Scott, has filed for divorce from her second husband Dan Jewett.
She was formerly married to the Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos.
New York Times reported that Scott filed for divorce from Dan Jewett in Washington state on Monday 26 September 2022.
She filed the papers in King County, Washington, Superior Court, NBC News reported.
Scott divorced Bezos, one of the world’s richest men, in 2019 and received $38bn.

She promised to donate her entire fortune to charity. Scott has made sizable gifts to aid good causes including providing affordable housing.
Jewett was a science teacher at a Seattle private school to which Scott and Bezos sent their children.
The couple married in March last year.
The boilerplate divorce petition showed the pair had already entered a “prenuptial agreement, separation contract, or community property agreement.”
The paperwork and the exact details of how their massive fortune will be divided were not included in the court record Thursday.
Scott, 52, has a net worth of $33.8 billion, Forbes magazine has estimated.
The pair now have to wait 90 days from Monday’s filing date under Washington law for the divorce to become final.
University of Washington law professor Terry Price said the 90-day countdown means the split could become official as soon as the final week of December — and it could allow Scott and Jewett to file their 2022 federal taxes as individuals. Price said:
I have no doubt that some very highly competent tax lawyers have advised her about this. There could be some benefit to that or some business strategy to it.
When you’re a billionaire, these things are not accidental. I feel really, really certain of that.
