MacKensie Scott donated $4B for Covid-19 relief in 2020. All other billionaires combined donated a third of that, despite their wealth growing by $4T from the start of the pandemic to the end of 2020.pic.twitter.com/boisLxfmPh
MacKenzie Scott’s giving is incredible. I’m not sure your source is tabulating accurately. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave $1.75B. Jack dorsey: $1B. I applaud all gifts large or small to fight this pandemic. https://ww2.gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles/coronavirus-funding-additional-250-million-suzman … https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/04/08/jack-dorsey-announces-1-billion-gift-to-fight-covid-19.html …

Foundation gifts were counted separately from high net-worth donor gifts.https://candid.org/about/press-room/releases/new-report-finds-that-more-than-20-billion-went-to-covid-19-philanthropy-in-2020 …

That explains the difference. I'm not sure it's the right methodology. If Gates Foundation is not counted as part of Melinda+Bill Gates's philanthropy, that seems wrong. And if Mackenzie Scott creates a foundation for further gifts, I wouldn't stop applauding her giving.
