Former President Barack Obama’s foundation said Monday it has received a $100 million donation from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos that it says is the largest individual contribution it has received to date.
For its part, the Obama Foundation said in a statement that the gift from Bezos is intended “to help expand the scope of programming that reaches emerging leaders” in the United States and around the world. “Freedom fighters deserve a special place in the pantheon of heroes, and I can’t think of a more fitting person to honor with this gift than John Lewis, a great American leader and a man of extraordinary decency and courage,” Bezos said in the statement released by the foundation. “I’m thrilled to support President and Mrs. Obama and their Foundation in its mission to train and inspire tomorrow’s leaders.
That’s it? Lol what a joke
The fact that $100mln can be *donated* means it's pocket change to him. 😱😱😱 I can't even.
Great!
See! He does do things with his money. Tax him more, curt the donation in half.
More money into the clinton coffers and no money for those that truly need help…epic fail
So obviously Obama still lives rent-free in some of your heads…..
Trump is next…
That's awesome :) Wish JeffBezos could see this tweet and send me $25 for Thanksgiving Turkey :) $Fdiga
Yeah, still doesn't help his image, he'll never miss that money.

Not surprising. They are in each other's pockets.
pay tax dammit...people or organization don't need your donation
Okay. Dems now saying we don’t need to tax him so much🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jeff Bezzos is the next George Soros.
Instead of buying houses for his employees or paying for their college tuition with this money,he is just buying influence.
What’s £100 millions between friends I am sure he will get tax deductions for it and get first class treatment
Only
Gee, why didn’t he donate that to a Trump charity?
If he really wanted to support John Lewis's memory, he would close Amazon, and Whole Foods on Election Day, and encourage them all to vote.
More performative bullshit from Bezos
So he sneezed, and it is news.
For fucks sake! amazon & JeffBezos pay your damn workers a living wage & pay your damn taxes!!!! It's not a difficult decision, it's the correct thing to do!!!! dontbeaparasite
You misspelled payout. Silly you wrote donates.
Great, now pay your damn taxes.
So maybe Obama may run for President in 2024
I like Obama, but I would rather Jeff pay his share in taxes than get another write off.
Nothing to see here, move on people!!! I think Obama who’d appreciate more dildo shape rocket but 100M will do just fine 😂😂😂
At least he’s working on environmental and donating his money unlike elon musk
DanelleK Cool, but how about just paying taxes?
