If the name Mackenzie Scott doesn't sound familiar, maybe it should.
She's the former wife of the one of the richest people in the world... Jeff Bezos. But that's not why we should all know her name.
She's become a financial angel to charities throughout America by giving away the majority of her fortune.
Four months ago she gifted $1.7 billion to 116 organizations nationwide. She followed that up Tuesday and gave $4.2 billion to 385 organizations; and there's more to come.
At a time when the coronavirus and the economy are major challenges, Scott has given to Goodwill, Meals on Wheels, YMCA and The United Way, the NAACP, Global Fund for Women and hundreds of other organizations to make life easier for Americans.
So on behalf of all average Americans, I'm thanking her for her generosity and humanity.
There are other billionaires that donate to good causes and we generally hear about them - Bill Gates, etc al, and recognize them as household names.
It's time to add Scott. She deserves it.
