March 8, 2021 Jeff Bezos’s Ex-Wife Marries Science Teacher At Her Kid’s School

Jeff Bezos’s Ex-Wife Marries Science Teacher At Her Kid’s School

MacKenzie Scott, the world's 22nd richest person and ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has found love again. 

The 50-year-old, who is worth an estimated $53 billion, divorced the Amazon founder back in 2019 after 25 years of marriage.

She has now married Dan Jewett, a science teacher at the private Seattle Lakeside School where her children she shares with Bezos attend. 

The private school where Jewett teaches and his wife's children attend is for grades five to 12 and costs $38,000 per year. 

The couple made their marriage publicly and spoke about their philanthropic plans in a post on the Giving Pledge - a site where billionaires and millionaires vow to dedicate a majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

 In a statement on the Giving Pledge's website, Scott said her philanthropic plans have not changed.

 "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." 

 

March 8, 2021 Man Utd End Man City’s 21-Match Winning Run With Derby Victory

Man Utd End Man City’s 21-Match Winning Run With Derby Victory

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United are not thinking about chasing down Manchester City despite bringing the Premier League leaders' sequence of 21 successive victories to a crashing halt with an impressive derby victory at Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side still have what looks to be an unassailable 11-point lead at the top of the table, but the manner in which United subdued a previously unstoppable City and enhanced their own top-four chances will be a huge confidence boost to Solskjaer and his players.

United, who have now gone 22 league away games unbeaten - including 14 wins - stunned City with a fast start and were ahead after a penalty was awarded inside the first 30 seconds when Gabriel Jesus fouled the impressive Antony Martial.

Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot despite City keeper Ederson getting a strong hand on the ball, then United fashioned the win with a mixture of solid defence and constant menace on the break.

Rodri almost equalised just after the break when his shot glanced off the angle of post and bar, but United effectively sealed the win - condemning City to their first loss since a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on 21 November - when the outstanding Shaw, who had earlier missed a chance to double United's lead, led a counter-attack, exchanging passes with Marcus Rashford before beating Ederson with a low shot.

Solskjaer's team, who had not scored in their previous three games, moved back into second place, a point ahead of Leicester City in the increasingly tight fight for a place in the top four.
