MacKenzie Scott, one of the world's most active philanthropists, donated two residential properties located in Beverly Hills valued at approximately $55 million in 2022, marking another significant contribution to her extensive charitable giving programme.
The donation of the high-value properties reflects Scott's ongoing strategy of deploying substantial wealth toward social causes. Since receiving her stake in Amazon following her divorce from company founder Jeff Bezos, Scott has emerged as a major donor, pledging billions of dollars to various charitable organizations and causes.
The Beverly Hills properties represent a shift in Scott's giving approach, which has traditionally focused on monetary donations to nonprofits working in areas including education, food security, and support for marginalized communities. Real estate donations allow philanthropists to contribute significant assets while potentially securing tax benefits.
Scott has consistently ranked among global leaders in charitable giving, with her contributions reaching multiple billions of dollars over recent years. Her philanthropic efforts have demonstrated a particular focus on organizations led by or serving underrepresented populations, including women, minorities, and economically disadvantaged communities across the United States and globally.
