$45 dollars is literally the difference between being able to make it to work or not for a lot of people. Stop making poor people feel bad for not donating the little bit of money they actually have. Bezos himself make $160 billion last year. That is enough for several lifetimes

Thanks to him for having a big heart 🙏🙏👏👏

Stop giving him hate! He's obliged to give however much he wants..

Only second now

The question is why people think they have the right to say what he must do with his own money? He got rich providing a service that is beneficial to everybody. You not entitle to his money.

Yeah but it still 98 million give him a break

The eat the rich tweets got him shook init

Well !

Let’s see. If you paid zero taxes on billions of assets, how much of his money would have been collected to be used by the US government for their programs? Like food stamps, public education, social services, farmers, low income housing, homeless, etc. Too many loopholes!

A Chinese - Hungarian Business Owner has a claim of 100 million compensation from the German govt.

Most of his wealth is someplace in the Caribbean avoiding taxes; he probably donated all the spare change he had laying around in his homes. But, $98 million will go a long way to help the homeless, so he did do a good thing.

OMG, people this is the era of complains. He gave 98M!!! He could have give none, but he choose to give loads of money that will improve life for many. So shut up and say thank you, because if you spit on 98M next time you might not get even a penny.

'Spend (in charity) O son of Adam, I (Allah/God) will spend on you.' (Hadith Qudsi)

Tax deductable ?

He gives away almost £100,000,000 and you moaning miserable tw*ts are still moaning. I hope it was a cheque so he can cancel it.

Every donation from whoever it is really matters.

The opinions of envious little shits are not news material.

Boycott Amazon

Why then doesn't he just pay his taxes and pay his staff properly?

This man helped a lot of people with that money and yet people got to bitch and complain! It’s sickening to watch these pathetic people complain about someone’s generosity because it doesn’t fit into their Liberal Mold!

What Bezos owns through shares is a completely different thing to how much money he personally makes in a year. Besides, he gave up a big chunk of his fortune in his divorce. Out of curiosity, how much should Bezos have donated to not only cause envy?

😂 98 million is a lot. Just cause is chump change to Ol Jeffie doesn’t make it less relevant to those who needed the help.

Hang on, he more than paid his way, gave loads to charity but people are still complaining. How about moaning about the scroungers who don't pay for themselves and don't give to charity. Being successful is not bad!!!!

Luke 16:19-31

Well, if he gave away $1billion to the same cause then you can rightfully consider it news

Wonder how many of those criticising him are donating to charity? 🧐

Hmm wonder how much he paid in taxes....🤔🙄
