On March 7, a series of major magazines reported that MacKenzie Scott has got married again to Dan Jewett. For the unknown, she is the former wife of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and also the richest woman in the world.

Many reports also acclaimed that Dan Jewett is also the science teacher at Lakeside high school in Lakeside, Seattle, where her children study.
Scott's remarriage was confirmed in a letter posted by Dan Jewett on the charity website Giving Pledge. The site is founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as a movement to encourage billionaires to do charity. He shared,
“In a stroke of happy coincidence, I am married to one of the most generous and kind people I know—and joining her in a commitment to pass on an enormous financial wealth to serve others.”
The date of their marriage is not unveiled and Scott has also never revealed any information about Jewett before.
For those uninitiated, Mackenzie Scott is currently the 22nd richest person in the world with a net worth of $53,5 billion.
She is also famous as one of the most generous philanthropists. She donated nearly $6 billion in 2020.
Her fortune comes largely from her share of Amazon after her turbulent divorce with Jeff Bezos. The richest man in the world has opposed the court's ruling, causing media buzz for a long time in 2019.
What Jeff Bezos commented on her new marriage
MacKenzie Scott and the Amazon billionaire divorced after 25 years of living together and having 4 children. She is the cunning wife who accompanied and supported Jeff Bezos to found Amazon in 1994. The reason for their breakup is reportedly due to the appearance of reporter Lauren Sanchez.
