MacKenzie Scott trimmed down her Amazon stake last year.

麦肯齐·斯科特去年减持了亚马逊的股份。


In 2023, the 53-year-old philanthropist, novelist and ex-wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos sold 65.3 million Amazon.com Inc. shares, according to a regulatory filing obtained by Bloomberg.

彭博社获得的一份监管文件显示,2023年,这位53岁的慈善家、小说家、亚马逊首席执行官杰夫·贝佐斯的前妻出售了6530万股亚马逊公司股票。


The unloaded shares amount to about a quarter of her stake in the tech giant and, as of Friday, were worth $10.4 billion, according to the outlet.

据该媒体报道,这些抛售的股票约占她在这家科技巨头所持股份的四分之一,截至上周五,这些股票价值104亿美元。


Following her 2019 divorce from Bezos, 60, after 25 years of marriage, Scott ended up with about a 4% stake in Amazon worth $38.3 billion — placing her 22nd on the outlet’s ranking of the world’s 500 richest people, Bloomberg reported at the time.

据彭博社当时报道,在2019年与结婚25年的60岁的贝佐斯离婚后,斯科特最终获得了亚马逊约4%的股份,价值383亿美元,在亚马逊全球500强富豪排行榜上排名第22位。


The hefty settlement also made her the wealthiest woman in the world at the time.

这笔巨额和解也使她成为当时世界上最富有的女性。


Scott has since trimmed her Amazon share, disposing of about half over the past five years, but the online retailer still makes up most of her $37.6 billion net worth, per Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index.

此后,斯科特削减了她在亚马逊的股份,在过去五年中卖掉了大约一半的股份,但根据彭博亿万富翁指数,这家在线零售商仍然占她376亿美元净资产的大部分。


She also joined the Giving Pledge — a list of billionaires who've pledged to donate half of their fortune — in 2019 and has since donated more than $16.5 billion to a wide range of charities.

她还于2019年加入了“捐赠誓言”,这是一个承诺捐出一半财富的亿万富翁名单,自那以后,她向各种慈善机构捐赠了超过165亿美元。


The philanthropist elaborated on her decision to take the pledge in a letter posted to the initiative's website, writing, "I have no doubt that tremendous value comes when people act quickly on the impulse to give. No drive has more positive ripple effects than the desire to be of service.”

这位慈善家在发布在该倡议网站上的一封信中详细阐述了她做出承诺的决定,她写道:“我毫不怀疑,当人们在捐赠的冲动下迅速行动时,就会产生巨大的价值。没有什么动力比服务他人的愿望更能产生积极的连锁反应了。”


"My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful. It will take time and effort and care. But I won't wait," she added. “And I will keep at it until the safe is empty.”

“我对慈善事业的态度将继续深思熟虑。这需要时间、精力和关怀。但我不会再等了,”她补充道。“我会保管它,直到保险箱清空为止。”


In July 2020, about a year after taking the pledge, Scott shared in a Medium blog post that she had given nearly $1.7 billion to various charities, including the Asian Americans Advancing Justice — AAJC, Black Girls CODE, Educate Girls, LatinoJustice and Transgender Law Center.

2020年7月,在做出承诺大约一年后,斯科特在一篇媒体博客文章中分享说,她向各种慈善机构捐赠了近17亿美元,包括亚裔美国人促进正义组织、黑人女孩代码组织、教育女孩组织、拉丁裔正义组织和跨性别法律中心。


Later that year, she revealed in another blog post that she and a "team of advisors" distributed more than $4 billion to organizations aiding communities in the U.S. affected by the COVID-19 pandemic — some that fulfill “basic needs” and others that aim to address “long-term systemic inequities that have been deepened by the crisis.”

那年晚些时候,她在另一篇博客文章中透露,她和一个“顾问团队”向帮助受COVID-19大流行影响的美国社区的组织分发了40多亿美元,其中一些组织满足了“基本需求”,另一些组织旨在解决“因危机而加深的长期系统性不平等”。


The following summer, she and then-husband Dan Jewett donated $2.7 billion to “286 high-impact organizations in categories and communities that have been historically underfunded and overlooked," she explained in a blog post at the time.

第二年夏天,她和当时的丈夫丹·朱伊特向“286个高影响力组织捐赠了27亿美元,这些组织的类别和社区在历史上一直资金不足和被忽视,”她当时在一篇博客文章中解释道。


The organizations included universities, arts and culture organizations, refugee settlement groups, police reform programs, and LGBTQ+ organizations that prioritize leaders of color and groups that focus on empowering women and girls, she shared.

她说,这些组织包括大学、艺术和文化组织、难民安置组织、警察改革项目,以及优先考虑有色人种领导人和专注于赋予妇女和女孩权力的群体的LGBTQ+组织。


More recently, in February and March 2022, Scott donated $133.5 million to Communities in School, which helps fund school services for at-risk students, and $436 million to Habitat for Humanity.

最近,在2022年2月和3月,斯科特向学校社区捐赠了1.335亿美元,帮助资助高危学生的学校服务,并向仁人家园捐赠了4.36亿美元。
