The soon to be ex-wife of one of the world's richest men has pledged to give away more than half of her new-found fortune.

MacKenzie Bezos will divorce husband Jeff, who founded Amazon, and come into a reported $36bn (£28.4bn) as she gets a 4% stake in the online shopping giant.

On Tuesday, she became one of 19 people to join The Giving Pledge, which was launched in 2010 by 40 of the wealthiest people in the US, including Bill Gates.
