“ My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful . It will take time and effort and care . But I won’ t wait . And I will keep at it until the safe is empty , ” she said. Jewett indicated he plans to follow her lead. He said he intends to give away the majority of his wealth . “ I have been a teacher for the majority of my life , as well as a grateful student of the generosity of those around me, ” he said in the Giving Pledge post . “ This has meant doing my best to follow their example by passing on resources of all kinds —from time , to energy , to material possessions —when I have had them to give . And now, in a stroke of happy coincidence , 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 . ” Bezos , who shares four children with his ex - wife, said in a statement via an Amazon spokesman : ‘ Dan is such a great guy , and I am happy and excited for the both of them ’ . The marriage comes after Scott and Bezos divorced after a 25 - year- long marriage . The divorce settlement made her among the richest people on Earth , currently holding a $ 53 billion fortune according to Forbes after receiving a quarter of Bezos ’ Amazon shares . The pair , who got married in 1993, first announced their separation in January 2019 shortly before the billionaire ’ s affair with Lauren Sanchez was exposed .
