After the divorce of Amazon founder and billionaire Bezos, the movements of his ex-wife Scott have been attracting attention from all walks of life. According to the British "Guardian" report on the 12th, Scott, who is keen on charity, made another move, donating 15 million US dollars to help farmers in developing countries wear glasses.

  October 13th is World Sight Day. A non-profit group says that 65% to 85% of farmers in developing countries who get glasses through the organization have never had their eyesight checked before. The problem of blurred vision has pushed hundreds of millions of people into poverty, so all sectors of society are called to help them. According to the Guardian, the group says that if it can successfully raise $70 million and provide farmers with glasses, they will be able to see better and make more money - potentially generating more than $1 billion in revenue by 2030 . It was in this charity that Scott donated $15 million. 

  The American "Fortune" magazine said that Scott divorced his first husband Bezos in 2019, and the following year, because of Amazon's stock soaring, he became the world's richest woman. Subsequently, she successively donated more than 12 billion US dollars to charity. As of the end of September this year, Scott's net worth was about 28.9 billion US dollars.
