Following the divorce, Scott assembled a team of advisers and began quietly making multimillion-dollar donations to nonprofit groups that totalled more than $12 billion in three years.

Bloomberg estimated her net worth as high as $62 billion, but between her billions of dollars in contributions and the decline in the stock market, it now gauges her fortune at $27.8 billion.

Scott and Jewett announced their marriage through a message on their webpage for the Giving Pledge, a philanthropic organization which encourages the world’s richest people to give away a majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

In a message Jewett wrote on Giving Pledge in 2021, he noted that he was joining Scott to pass an enormous financial wealth to serve others.

“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.

“I look forward to the growth and learning I have ahead as a part of this undertaking with MacKenzie.”

However, Jewett’s message seemed to have disappeared from the Giving Pledge site and his name was recently edited out of a Medium post Scott had written last year about their gifts, The Times reported Wednesday, September 28.

According to New York Times, Scott, a novelist also deleted Jewett from her author bio on Amazon.
