Amazon founder Jeff Bezos told CNN on Monday that he plans to give away the majority of his $119.5 billion fortune in his lifetime, saying that "it's really hard" to give away large sums of money in effective ways.
The same day, his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott published a Medium blog post, announcing that she'd given away nearly $2 billion over the last seven months.
More than 230 others, including Scott, have signed the Giving Pledge, promising to do the same with their wealth.
Notably, despite his claim earlier this week, Bezos hasn't signed the Giving Pledge.
Scott made that commitment in 2019, signing the Giving Pledge the same year the couple divorced and she received roughly $36 billion in Amazon shares.
