estimates that Bezos has donated $2.4 billion—less than 2% of his total net worth—to charitable causes during his lifetime. While Bezos in 2020 said he would spend $10 billion to combat climate change over the next decade,only counts money out-the-door, not pledges. Forbes also doesn’t count stock gifted to nonprofits if the billionaire doesn’t reveal the recipient of those shares.
in 2021 to the Obama Foundation, plus another $100 million each to activist Van Jones and chef Jose Andres for the Courage & Civility Award—for those two people to distribute as they best see fit.in November 2022, Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez, vice chair of the Bezos Earth Fund, awarded singer Dolly Parton the 2022 Bezos Courage & Civility Award, which was accompanied by $100 million for her to give to the nonprofits she chooses to support.
When the internet was in its infancy, Bezos quit his high-paying Wall Street job at hedge fund D.E. Shaw to start an online bookstore operated out of his garage in Bellevue, Washington. His then-wife MacKenzie helped with a variety of tasks, including handling accounting and packing orders to ship.Early on investors were skeptical that consumers would buy books online. Bezos was convinced he had a great business plan.Bezos took Amazon.com public in May.
In April Bezos announced on Twitter that he was transferring a quarter of his 16% Amazon stake, then worth $36 billion, to MacKenzie as a result of the divorce. Bezos publicly accused National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc of blackmail in an open letter and launched his own investigation into how the tabloid got his phone contents. AMI denied any wrongdoing. The Wall Street Journal later reported that Sanchez’s brother leaked his texts and photos to the National Enquirer for a $200,000 payout.Bezos stepped down as CEO in July after 28 years at the helm. He still serves as executive chairman.
