Dan Jewett Net Worth of 2 Million Dollars, Did Mackenzie Scott Have Kids?

Dan Jewett, a former science teacher, has a net worth of about $2 million. In contrast, his former wife MacKenzie Scott’s net worth hovers around 33.8 billion US dollars.

Jewett is a chemistry instructor with an annual salary of $60,000 to $100,000, according to Exact Net Worth. He is presumably earning on the higher end of that range because he is an experienced teacher at one of the most excellent private high schools in the United States.

Net Worth Compared To His Ex-Wife MacKenzie

Scott became a billionaire in 2019 after Bezos donated a quarter of his Amazon assets to her as part of their divorce settlement, totaling 19.7 million shares.

Following her divorce from Bexoz, Scott recruited a team of advisers and surreptitiously began making multimillion-dollar assistance to charity organizations totaling more than $12 billion in only three years.

She was the world’s 22nd richest person in 2020, with a total net worth of $36 billion. Her worth scaled up to $53 billion, and she remained the 22nd richest person in 2021. According to Forbes, She was ranked 30th in wealth in April 2022.

Besides, his wife Mackenzie’s enormous riches have recently drawn the media’s attention. Mainly because she has pledged to give away most of her fortune over the course of her life as part of the Giving Pledge; her most incredible single charity to date, revealed in March, was $436 million to Habitat for Humanity.

It was also recently disclosed that Dan and Mackenzie had donated the University of Texas $40 million, the largest contribution the school has ever received, to be utilized for strategic expansion and innovative excellence. However, there were indications that the collaboration ended following their divorce procural.

Mackenzie Scott has four kids from her marriage with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. They are three sons and a daughter.

Whereas Scott never became impregnated while she was with Dan, her second marriage does not produce any children. All of her four kids were with Jeff. Mackenzie and Bezos ended their 25 years long marriage in 2017. 

They welcomed four children during that period, three sons and one daughter. Scott gave birth to his three boys, but they adopted the baby girl from China. Her eldest son’s name is Preston Bezos, and she is currently studying at Princeton University. He was born in 2000 and is 22 years old now. Meanwhile, none of the parents have revealed the names of the rest of their children. But they shared some pictures of their family and the children.

After her divorce from Bezos, they agreed to share their children’s custody equally. As a matter of fact, Bezos himself was an adopted child. Miguel “Mike” Bezos, his stepfather, took him home when he was 16. Miguel was an engineer from Cuba.

Relationship With Jeff Bezos

They both attended Princeton University; the Amazon founder met author MacKenzie Scott while working at D.E. Shaw, an investment management business.

But in 2019, after 25 years of marriage, the pair announced their divorce, which dazed the world. Following the separation, MacKenzie received 25% of their common Amazon shares, valued at an estimated $35.6 billion, while Jeff retained the remained.

Despite selling her stake in the Washington Post and Blue Origin, she remains one of the world’s wealthiest women. Mackenzie changed her last name from Bezos to Scott following her divorce from the owner of the space exploration company Blue Origin. She derived Scott from her middle name.

Dan Jewett was born in Seattle, United States, on March 6, 1975. He is 47 years old. 

His primary job before marrying Scott was as a school teacher. Dan has worked mainly as a teacher throughout his career. He lived a low-key life and is not much active on social media platforms. Thus, most of his information regarding family and personal life besides her relationship with Mackenzie is mainly unknown.

He has not divulged details of his early life and family background. Jewett earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from Eastern University in 1998. He worked for a while after graduating before deciding to pursue a career in education. His first employment was at Hansa Studios in London, and he later worked in the observatory lab at Eastern University.

Dan also worked for the Lower Merion School District and started working at Seattle’s Lakeside School in 2016. The school is among the most outstanding educational institutions in the Washington, D.C. region, with notable alums like Bill Gates, Maria Fitel, and others.

The 47-year-old formerly worked at the Bush School, where he was a teaching team member for around five years. He also taught AP chemistry at Harrington High School in Pennsylvania for about a year in 2006.

Mackenzie Scott Filed For Divorce

After his marriage to Mackenzie Scott, he left his teaching profession and began working with her billionaire wife for the welfare of humanity. They became engaged in several philanthropic projects and charitable schemes. 

Jewett expressed his gratitude for the honor of collaborating and distributing monies and assets with the potential to accomplish so much good. He also stated that his work as a school teacher would not have made him affluent enough to make the substantial philanthropic contributions he has made thus far, which have, according to the tutor, had a considerable impact.

Moreover, his name has been removed from her charitable initiatives since last week amid his divorce from Scott. His letter was no longer shown beside hers on the Giving Pledge website, where millionaires pledge to give away half of their wealth before dying. His name was removed from a Medium article about their presents posted by Ms. Scott last year without notice.
