MacKenzie went on to say that she sees "tremendous value" in the act of giving and that over the years, writing her own work and reading others had inspired her to act in the favour of others.
"And sure enough, something greater rises up every time we give," she said.
"The easy breathing of a friend we sit with when we had other plans, the relief on our child’s face when we share the story of our own mistake, laughter at the well-timed joke we tell to someone who is crying, the excitement of the kids in the school we send books to, the safety of the families who sleep in the shelters we fund. "These immediate results are only the beginning. Their value keeps multiplying and spreading in ways we may never know."Jeff Bezos shared MacKenzie's statement on Twitter yesterday. The CEO and investor said that he was proud of his ex-wife and her kind words. "MacKenzie is going to be amazing and thoughtful and effective at philanthropy, and I’m proud of her," he wrote. "Her letter is so beautiful. Go get ‘em MacKenzie."
