Mackenzie Scott Gave Away Another $4.2 Billion Dollars
Nope, that wasn’t an earthquake you felt, that was Jeff Bezos’ left eye twitching with such force, ripples were felt as far away as Japan. Proving once again that yes, you can just do that, Jeff’s ex-wife MacKenzie Scott just gave away $4 billion dollars. This follows the $1.7 billion in donations that she gave away in July. Jeff’s so shook he shook us!
Billionaire Bill Gross And His Wife Have Been Trolling Their Neighbors By Blasting The “Gilligan’s Island” Theme Song In A Dispute Over An Ugly Sculpture
If you think being a billionaire is all just eating bonbons and committing felonies with impunity, you’re only partly right. There are also some downsides to the accumulation of immoral levels of wealth. Take for example poor Bill Gross, the 76-year-old billionaire co-founder of Pimco. Not only was he saddled with a dumb name at birth, but he also has the misfortune of not being able to get his way every single time without consequence, no matter how hard he stamps his little feet.
MacKenzie Scott (Formerly Bezos) Has Already Given Away $1.7 Billion Of Her Fortune To Charity
MacKenzie Scott is not fucking around. Last year she signed The Giving Pledge, which is an initiative started by Bill and Melinda Gates that encourages the world’s wealthiest people to donate at least half their fortunes to charitable causes. At the time, MacKenzie said she wasn’t going to waste any time in doing so. So while her ex-husband Jeff Bezos is apparently waiting to get Lauren Sanchez listed as a 501(c) before signing the pledge, MacKenzie quietly got to work. In just over a year, she has already donated $1.7 billion to various organizations with a promise to “keep at it until the safe is empty.” And while I’m pretty sure she’s not doing it out of spite to make Jeff look trashier than he already does, the probability of Jeff’s left eye twitching at the thought of people expecting him to do the same is a bonus act of charitable giving on MacKenzie’s part.
Kanye West Congratulated Kim Kardashian On Becoming A Billionaire Even Though She Isn’t One
There’s nobody I trust more than TMZ to make the fine calculations required to certify someone’s billionaire status, not even those math geniuses over at Forbes. So when TMZ reports that Kim Kardashian’s company, KKW Beauty, has officially hit the $1 billion mark, it’s time to take notice. Those suckers at Coty beauty, the same ones who bought a controlling interest in Kylie’s Jenner’s company without reading the fine print (according to Forbes), have just bought a 20% stake in KKW for $200 million. Seemingly unable to see or hear the guillotines being erected across the country, Kanye West #tooktotwitter to congratulate Kim on becoming a billionaire, which isn’t even what happened. Her company has been valued at $1 billion, not Kim personally. Not even TMZ got it that wrong.
Forbes Officially Names Kanye West As A Billionaire, But He’s Still Not Totally Happy
Despite being a proud MAGA supporter, and his 2018 comments that slavery seemed like “a choice” notwithstanding, Kanye West is, for some reason, still heralded as a genius, a revolutionary, and a deity (but that’s mostly when he’s talking to himself in the mirror). Well now, Taylor Swift’s forever arch-enemy has another adjective to throw up in front of his name: billionaire. Kanye, who claimed he was in debt four years ago, has now officially been ranked as a member of the Billionaire Boys Club––and he wants everybody to know it.
Kylie Jenner Is Once Again Named By Forbes As The World’s Youngest “Self-Made” Billionaire
I guess Forbes forgot about every single suspicious eyebrow that was raised last year when they named Kylie Jenner, child of wealth and fame, the world’s youngest self-made billionaire. It was the day we all realized the sad truth that not one poor soul at Forbes had access to a dictionary. After first defending the choice, Kylie came around and acknowledged that she’s made her own money, but isn’t exactly self-made. But Forbes still put her at the top again of this year’s list of the world’s youngest billionaires.
