Why not donate a living wage or some tax?

He should donate some better conditions to the people that works for him.

And how many of us buy from Amazon and he gets away without paying full taxes...no wonder he's the world's richest man.

Yeah he’s donating half to his wife!

He needs to pay his fair share, and not a legally defined share, legally been defined by corporations, of taxes. End.

If he can nullify the Kochs, Mercers, Adelsons & others of their ilk whose personal wants are more important than the needs of the country & replace the frauds of the GOP with truthful political agendas then, GIT 'ER DONE!, BEZOSSON!

These rich folk like JeffBezos and BillGates are extreemly narcissistic manipulators who use 'charity' as a vehicle for their own gains. Wealthy people are always like this. They're such psychopaths they never have any limit to their craving for power, control & admiration

lol, trying to make it look like he's good for the world

Ban billionaires

He should learn to pay taxes and his staff a good salary.

The poor + middles class give more to charity (% wise) than the rich. And their donations are far more social, as opposed to investment or vanity.

'Philanthropy' is a measure of systemic failure.

Misspelled Douches

Please sir, more trickle ….🤲🏽

He should donate 100% or his money every year and 100% of all of Amazon’s profits every year as well. -Lefitst comments in here, basically.

He only donated 1.46% of his total worth. It's easy to seem generous when you're a billionaire. And paying no tax.

Amazon will pay $0 in taxes on $11,200,000,000 in profit for 2018 via YahooFinance

Shame about the tax paid then...

Why doesn't he just pay his people better?

Donations are nothing if you can't pay each worker $30/hour minimum
