Bezos's ex-wife: "Quietly donating 38 trillion won" vs current wife: "Actively trying to enter the fashion industry with her husband"

The paths of two women surrounding Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (62) are sharply diverging. Ex-wife MacKenzie Scott (55) quietly donated approximately 10 trillion won (7.1 billion dollars) to 225 nonprofit organizations in 2025 alone, while current wife Lauren Sanchez (56) is leading Bezos's image transformation and guiding him onto the fashion stage.

According to AP and CNBC, Scott donated $7.17 billion last year through her philanthropy platform, Yield Giving. Since their divorce in 2019, her cumulative donations total $26.3 billion (approximately 36 trillion won), reportedly already surpassing the total amount Bezos has donated in his lifetime. There is no public foundation or public relations team.

Recipient organizations are notified of donations only through intermediaries, with no conditions on how the funds are used. Scott wrote, "This amount may make the news, but any number is a tiny fraction compared to the expression of care flowing into communities."

In contrast, Sanchez is actively working to improve Bezos's image. A source said, "Lauren believes people will like it when they see the real Jeff. Silence makes him appear cold and unfeeling."

Sanchez hired star stylist Law Roach and completely revamped her own fashion image. Roach is known as an "image designer" who has styled Zendaya, Ariana Grande, and Celine Dion.

In May this year, the Bezos couple sponsored the entire Met Gala, with Sanchez serving as honorary chair. However, this move instead sparked criticism that they were "buying culture with money," leading to a backlash.

The contrast between the two women is also evident in numbers. According to Forbes, Scott's current net worth is approximately $33 billion, while Bezos's is $230.2 billion. Based on total lifetime donations, Scott ranks third in the world, behind Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.

The ex-wife quietly returning wealth to society and the current wife seeking to elevate her husband's presence on a glamorous stage will continue to be compared in the future.
