Jeff Bezos pledges to give away the majority of his fortune to charity

Bezos said he planned to dedicate the bulk of this fortune to fighting the climate crisis and supporting people who could unify humanity, per CNN.

He said that the hard part of giving the money away was"figuring out how to do it in a levered way," claiming that the couple was currently"building the capacity to be able to give away this money." "There are a bunch of ways that I think you could do ineffective things, too," he said."So you have to think about it carefully and you have to have brilliant people on the team."In the past, some have criticized the Amazon founder for not signing the Giving Pledge, a promise by some of the world's richest people to donate the majority of their wealth to charity.

what he actually means!!! Take it out of one pocket and put it in another

Pawmark Sneakers next big thing coming soon

We shall be grateful to receive part of the donation at OujharaFoundation

gret job

Only if he does it now, and in cash.

This is such BS. What else would he do with it. He can start now. I'm sure his name will be all over the place for doing so. Just like Carnegie Hall and Howard University.

Last time he gave away this much to someone in need, it was in Alimony for a dick pic!

TechInsider I bet he does not

He lost the billionaire game now he’s trying to save face

elonmusk don't do it Elon, if at all, put it somewhere it will grow, like, education and innovation. Build an awesome and free University online.(after you're done with Twitter) Dolly Parton? I've seen 'The Founder'. Where is all that money now. Remember Ted Turner

It's just pocket change leftover from his spouse's Botox, plastic surgery and lip injection fund. I saw the news interview he and his trophy wife did and all he did was give the money to another rich celebrity, hoping that she would spend it on people who need it. Unlikely.

Not happening!

Glad to have it come to BGRFund, a charity organisation focused on education and support for young women in deprived communities. A bold pledge there.

The question in when

Ok, Goebbels 👍

Pay warehouse workers drivers etc. now a 🕳 lot more

Or just pay his workers more and America would not need as much charity.

Thank you Mr. Bezos

TechInsider Jeff Bezos... pls I'm part of orphan o

Maybe another scandal is coming up

TechInsider Sorry, I don't care! I care if him is helping to reduce the environment impact of your companies like Amazon. Is he helping to reduce the environment impact from his companies? Is he promoting the better jobs in-low income countries and regions like South American.

I will believe that when he’s actually given money to actual charities for their benefit. is it philanthrocapitalism he proposes? making even bigger money as a “donors” with no real help to recipient. is he taking a leaf out of BMGF’s playbook now?

Who is Charity?

u know, i'm something of a charity myself

I pledged plenty of times, it doesn't work, I never pledged as a billionaire, maybe it's different

The JB Foundation 🤣🤣🤣

And thereby avoiding taxes and keeping control of them. Probably spend it overseas like gates so we hardly see a benefit.

BITech Ok what is he waiting for let him do it now!

Who is Charity and is that her real name?

TechInsider The word liar comes to mind.😆

Jeff hayır kurumlarına para bağışlarken bana da bir burs versen de UK’de bir master yapsak.. Çok büyük sevaba girersin. ☺️

Can someone help with the charity these monies are all going to?

TechInsider Bezos will control the charity and he won’t pay taxes. Bill gates did this. All the rich do it to escape taxes.

The transfer of wealth.

Honestly this is very good to hear. However “Most” is quite vague 🤔

Green Light was needed with such creepy eyes? 🤨

He could pay his employees better and expand WAPO.

For 2 reasons: The only ppl he associates with are already billionaires & he’s incapable of a healthy relationship with any woman.

His ex has upstaged him and he and his gf are making sure they outshine Mackenzie. They gave money to the CNN guy, too. Never going to make up for his corporate greed.

AKA money laundering

Today I am convinced that these billionaires are owned by someone somewhere I tell you 🫡why can’t they stop hunger with such money? Why can’t they promote peace? Why can’t they provide free healthcares? These charities they donate to are doing nothing to mankind

Can he do it now?

Philanthropy is just another word for buying influence.
