MacKenzie Bezos

MacKenzie Bezos

MacKenzie Bezos isn't the daughter of a very rich man - she's the ex-wife of one. We're not just talking about any old rich man either; we're talking about Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world. It was Bezos who founded Amazon, which is now one of the largest home delivery, retail, and entertainment brands on the planet. The former Mrs. Bezos was entitled to half of all his wealth, which makes her worth more than $70bn at the time of writing.

Bezos wasn't just a gold-digger though, she has plenty of credentials of her own. She's a Princeton graduate, achieving honors in her English degree and putting her skills to good use as a published novelist. With enough money in the bank to cater to her every need, she now focuses her time on helping others through her 'Bystander Revolution' charity, which promotes anti--bullying causes.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
