The Amazon CEO donated to Feeding America, a Chicago-based nonprofit with more than 200 food banks across the United States.Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of a food bank, captioning it,"Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately Covid-19 is amplifying that stress." He noted that restaurants are closed, and many churches that provide free meals are closed too, because of social distancing mandates.
"This donation, the largest single gift in our history, will enable us to provide more food to millions of our neighbors facing hardship during this crisis," said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America, in a statement.Bezos added a link to Feeding America in his Instagram bio, saying"if you want to help," the organization is open to donations of any size. Read MoreThis isn't the first time Bezos has donated to a coronavirus relief effort.
As American's are you not embarrassed that so many of your people need to use food banks. Especially when we the rest of the world are always being told how great the USA is. It is a joke, stop pretending you are something you are not. Stop your leaders lying all the time.
Good on you Jeff Bezos!!
How about delivering food directly to households in need?Amazon JeffBezos WholeFoods
Let's pump up this number significantly and make it a recurring annual payment
It is very good to be donating to help people in need of lives basic need of food. What about your many employees that no longer have health care/or care they can't afford, paid sick time. Your employees are on the front lines and risking their health and lives daily. HELP THEM

Wow sounds great thnx team
Wow! Not that is something!! 👌🙏👌
God bless you po
Thank you very much.
Too bad he doesn’t bother to spend that to cover his employees’ sick pay days if they get sick with this shit while keeping him the richest man in the world or just a billionnaire (whatever he is now after his divorce).
If I were as rich as Bezos, I would donate $500 million. About 5% if his net worth.
Criticize that, socialists
Thank you for your generosity.
JeffBezos how about just providing better working environments for your employees & not firing them when they try 2 stand up for it, especially during this pandemic. Even better why not donte 2 every household. You’d get a tax ride off. Be a good guy, do the right thing.
Jeff Bezos Amazon should start paying taxes to help fund our government services like every other American does.
AddAZero
Pressure finally got to him?
He couldn’t give his employees hazard pay though? Or did I miss something?
Whoop-dee Freakin' Doo.
Thank you!?What is he doing for his employees who are working 24/7 under seriously hazardous conditions? Donations are tax deductible, employee hazardous pay wouldn’t be. Are their lives less valuable than a tax deduction? Employees make him rich. Don’t they deserve compensation?
In all seriousness. How much does it cost him to go to the bathroom?
Thanks Jeff!
About damn time he does something with all his money
if he can pull that outta his ass, he can pay better and give more benefits to employees
Thank you Bezos
He should take care of his workers first, but then again, he wouldn’t get these bullshit PR headlines AmazonStrike
Just looked it up.Bezos is worth 117 billion USD.Thank for the pocket change
How many days did Bezos pay you to run this story for?
Not enough
Should give 100 million for bonus to workers
He is trying to buy his way out of his sins. After this is over, for those who are not living pay check to pay check, there will be a lot of thinking - is this the kind of company I want to work for and associated with?
How much are the Trumps donating I guess his money is tied up in a TAX AUDIT. Yeah, whatever.
Dear JeffBezos, Ugandan food banks too are already dry. Don't pass us by please.
This is less that one tenth of a percent of his net worth. Let's keep his generosity in perspective.
Can u post this 85 more times thx 🙄
Where are the stimulus checks?!!!!
Eat Jeff bezos
ChristiiPatriot Where is Bloomberg ?
Is Beyonce, Jay Z, Lebron, Deniro, DiCaprio, Obama's, Kimmel, Howard Stern, Bradd Pitt, Clooney, The Clinton's doing anything for Americans? incomeinequality
To think, the wealthy were sitting on their stockpiles. .... the world is burning, much respect to this man
Thank you Jeff. But you donated $10B to fight ficticious climate change. Other way around next time. Making sure people have food is more important. Stay safe.
About time these billionaires did something to help us!
For those who say the U.S. is the best nation on earth, I just have to say you are dead wrong. How can you think that when you see how we treat each other? It's disgusting. We care more about money than people. We get so upset when we see animals abused, but not humans.
Why are people finding a way to be mad about this
That's it?
100 mil will be spent at the most expensive market in America...Whole Foods. Text book win/win
Yeah trump shoukd use his pocket change to pay for his laid off workers
An evil rich person is helping others in a time of need? This goes against Bernie and the dems' narrative.
America - modern day feudalism.
Bezos needs to pay his workers more too.
Good diversionary tactic, now give your workers paid sick leave and PPE.
OK, donate another 100million to your employees
Is that tax deductible?
He's a parasite.
That’s good, but they don’t pay enough tax ,
This is the 17th time y’all posted this story. I feel like this is just straight propaganda at this point.
This is better than nothing but for him, it’s nickels and dimes.
Old news is no news.
Thank you Jeff
Just got charged $1000 server fees this week for SBA on Amazon. How about waving business expenses to SBA until this is over so we can keep workers?
would do better paying his workers more
Here come the: “Thats not enough money” comments
Cue the people saying it isn't enough.
I'm disabled with diabetes. Respotory problems, and other health issues. I'm in lock down. I live on SSI. Witch is $771,00 a month. It's really hard to get by. I'm in need of food and cleaning supplies. Can you help me Sir. Thank you
Where are other philanthropists Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, George Soros, Rockafellar, Walt (WalMart) JP Morgan, and all the rich elites who pretend they care about this country?
What has the Trump family done to feed fellow Americans who have no food on the table
So cool. Right after he cashed out $3.4 bn just before the Market collaspe. Such a generous man!
Thanks Jeff Bezos and I miss watching CNN. Snoozin with CNN !
That’s dope.
Most of the opinions are negative because 'is not enough', have you donated any percentage of your wealth? No good action can go unpunished, smh
A man in Canada depicts strange shapes around the moon, glory be to God
Tax write off
...but WHY won’t he help his own workers?
Looking for logo, Brochure, Parte Flyer, t-shirt, Poster card, Businesscard, SocialMedia Design etc Design for you Company? Contact with me. link:
Fuck this philanthropy PR smoke and mirrors. He needs to pay his taxes 🤬
The guy he fired for protesting unsafe working conditions will be thrilled to hear that.
Thank you Jeff!
small change..why does he not pay his worker more than anyone else? make working for Amazon a joy ..he could feed the homeless house the homeless and get millions off of state aid...greed
Why can’t MrBeastYT do this
I believe that the hatred from people is worse than the virus. So very sad!!
Well done to him. God will bless him more and replenish his pocket. Pls let him remember some of us in Nigeria. Is not easy over here.
Nice tax write of for any loss of sales he might of lost. Not impressed
How about he donates 100 million dollars in food to the food bank. 100 million dollars means 1 million dollars in food and 99 million dollars for the food bank supervisors.
realDonaldTrump neanwhile...
I bet that comes with a smile and free delivery.
Honestly. It’s not about the % of his salary to mine. Him giving $1billion doesn’t change his life. $20 changes mine. This guy could literally solve world problems but is just a waste.
Very nice..
Great work
No big deal - he can easily afford it
How about pay your employees better JeffBezos
Maybe he should treat his employees better and pay them decent wages... and pay taxes... that would probably be more useful... but thanks for your table scraps, Jeff
That’s it?
Please don’t listen to CNN fake news and that Jeff basil guy
Feeding them is not the priority, but saving lifes is? Donate medical supplies or test kits. If they don’t get both ,also will kill them.
That’s what Amazon has made in 11 hours during the pandemic.
Oh and what kind of tax break does he get.
How bout paying his employees a living wage and making sure they have benefits.
JeffBezos Just pay your employees well and give them benefits. Don’t try to make yourself look better by These tax deductible donations!
LOSER
China virus
Because he wants everyone to forget he just threw one of his workers under the bus.
How much stayed with him.. .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Did he pull that from in between his couch cushions?
Wish he would take care of the Amazon and Whole Foods workers who are risking their lives for minimum wage.
My donation to public radio was a bigger % chunk of my bank account than his 100m from his.
Great mind...are you also donating How i wish i could also donate
Bezos would do better to pay his own employees a fair wage so they don't have to go to the food bank.
Thank you Jeff ....please keep up your good work!
What a heart. Very careful in giving. jeffbezos
or you can just pay ALL your workers a LIVABLE wage!!
Omg the haters!!! 100mill is pretty amazing jeffbezos. Maybe some of the hollywood rich will follow your example!!
JeffBezos HAS BILLIONS AND NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS AMAZON EMPLOYEES. $100 mil to him is a penny to me.
He’s trying to distract us from the fact that his employees are working in unsafe environments and the US don’t care
End of April the workers at Amazon will loose the $2.00 raise that was giving to them in March. Great work JeffBezos.
God bless you
He can donate more!
Thank you 🙏🏼. ☮️💜🇺🇸
FilmTVDiversity He should donate 100 million to the US on a regular basis. It’s called paying your taxes.
Thanks but that's all? Now's the time for people like him to step up. He can do much better.
Good! What about all the other millionaires of the world? They can do it too. They won't be poor!!
Jeff Bezos should help out the hundreds of thousands of people he employs first.
Dude, with his money 10 billion wouldn't have hurt him. Look how much he had to give his wife in his divorce settlement!
He absolutely SHOULD. No question.
Does that include the dude in Staten Island that Amazon fired?
Why don’t you provide living wages and healthcare to your employees?
Better than the Clintons’ 400 pizzas.
And AoC still isn't happy
Thanks Boss!
What about your employees? What are you going to do for them? I think they need more than just food! Mr. Billionaire
That’s the right thing to do
realFFK you may believe that innovators are illuminati...And 5G...there still would be something faster than 10G...if Christ tarries. The current man is still far from where Babel was...in the days They built up to heaven. But GOD wasn't happy... But Christ came.
It’s about effing time.
A self-made man donates $100 million and all America does is bitch
Thank you Jeff for giving back to society what you've been taking from them.
Yet JeffBezos doesn't do shit for the employees who make it possible for him to have that money to donate in the first place.
Fuck Bezos the money hoarder. He's 1st in line for the Guillotine EatTheRich
Americans are a funny lot..the guy has donated a 100million dollars ffs and people are still complaining.Did you want him to give out his entire wealth?
Let’s see who’s going to complain
That is extremely generous of him. I'm not a fan of his at all but this shouldn't be about politics. Right now, people need help. This will help.
I think Trump should match that donation.
It’s funny to picture. All these people think his net worth is cash that he stores in his basement. It’s not liquid lol.
It’s a start. Is he taking care of employees now?
... what does Trump donate? ... no money! ... to show us his tax return ...
what a nice thing to do while he asks amazon workers to donate their pto to others
Paid sick leave for Amazon? Masks for WaPo, Amazon, WholeFoods?
That's a good start JeffBezos. more to come I'm sure God bless
100 million is 1/2 day of earnings for Jeff Bezos
Very kind of him to donate a small fraction of what he took from under-compensating his workers.
Jeff can't just drag out Billions from the bank & donate it to the public like everyone expects him to. He doesn't have the money in cash. And if he tried to liquify his assets folks love to obsess over, he would probably tank the stock market & cause bigger financial problems.
What did trump donate? ..............
this 100 million is nice but i am sure that Amazon would have paid more then that in tax to local, state, Fed. if they stop trying to get tax abatement.
He needs to rehire fired workers
The $100 million Ghana's finance minister claims Ghana doesn't have to fight the CODVID-19, another man is donating to his government. Pathetic!! But we (Ghana) have ten times the above amount to organize an election reregistration exercise which is totally needless.
'BuT hE's GoT mOrE!'
GOD bless You
Jeff Bezos by donating $100M to US food banks shows us how much be follows his Money
Good God will bless you man.
Food is rare and vital, the exact opposite of what the dollar is.
How about turning Amazon back into what it use to be instead of the worst EBay ever!!!
Jeff Bezos should send the help to his employees who are forced to work in close proximity without ANY PPE. They deserve to be protected while they’re providing essential and non-essential purchases. AmazonLivesMatter ProtectAmazonWorkers
Jeff, TRUMP is going to be mad at you.
How about donating PPE to NY?
Complain about this one mf’s 🙂
A drop in the bucket for Bezos! He's making money hand and fist!
1purpledawg Cool. Now he should raise his employees’ wages
You horrible capitalist Jeff!
Great
Jeff needs to donate some PPE so front line workers can stay healthy and keep people alive!
Wait, didn't he fire somebody for exposing the lack of PPE at Amazon?🤔🤔🤔
He needs to give his employees paid sick leave
🙏
.08% of his wealth. Big numbers until you realize he makes that much in less than a day
The tax cuts the Republican house and Senate made that possible for many corporations. One hundred million going to food banks is a blessing.
Good man!!
Feeding all need & not forcing our religion on anybody. Just helping with own money. Amen
So the riches man in the world worth billions of the backs of billions of people cannot give a few billion for the cause ? Does he have to give a dime ? No he doesn't but damn, he has it why wouldn't you do everything in your power to help people? That's right he's a Democrat
Only a 100 million,you cheap bastard,you don’t even pay taxes,which probably would be around 8 or 9 hundred million dollars,and your just giving 100 million,you should be giving at least one billion dollars,cough it up cheap-o💵💵💵💰💰shameful!
What about his employees?! They’re striking.
That's what he made in the profit yesterday, thanks Jeff, you are truly amazing, nice tax deduction for some one who does not pay tax.
It’s not what we’d all like to see but it’s 100 million more than nothing.
ThAtS OnLY 0.00000% oF hiS nET w0RtH
here's an idea. Pay all the taxes you and your company has dodged over the years and we'll call it square.
Pay taxes according to your income and you will not have to make a TAXABE DONATION.... SHOVE IT!!!
Try paying your taxes properly and treating your staff like humans not robots, your staff need paying properly too.
Not enough. Should be billions.
That is awesome.
Well after Trump kicked a few million Americans off food stamps that's the least he can do.
JeffBezos should have asked what was needed then purchased the food items through Amazon and helped his employees at same time. Also, send each employee a food basket. But still thank you.
Not enough! Protect your workers. Cancelled my prime membership
Thankyou
Incoming people saying 'oH 100 MiLlIoN iS nOtHiNg To HiM wHy DoEsNt He DoNaTe MoRe?!'
That's a pocket change for him, he needs to give at least 1-2 billion dollars.
Funny to see all the worthless idiots who have contributed nothing to help in this pandemic criticize this that are.
Pay fair share of taxes
I donated $50 to my local food bank which is an extremely small amount of my paycheck. I’m surprised people haven’t been shaming me.
Wow-from what I fully understand is that his employees are treated terribly! ( a lot of disgruntled employees) Invest in your employers health AND donate to food banks! I have ZERO respect for this FOOL!
Tax him 99.5% of his wealth. Nobody need that much money.
Hey Jeff I’m a small business struggling right now lost lots of jobs. My credit is bad because of my divorce . Where do I turn too for a loan or any help thank you.
A safe work place?
When somebody going to develop a website so this money can get directly to people, that’s what people need...
OMG I am crying a lil 😂😭 I don’t need the assistance but so many do.
Y’all should thank him & ask the Trump’s to do likewise, they supposably are rich!
It’s about time.
I think that's a great idea
JeffBezos Why not take advantage of COVID19 and test drone deliveries to American consumers?🤔 -- AmazonDroneDelivery
Tell him to pay his employees paid sick leave first.
I know, I knooooooow that during these times, any little gesture is appreciated... but if that comes from my neighbor, the docs, etc, that’s something to be thankful for. So I don’t see why can he pay taxes, AND donate $1 B? 🤫🤔
GOOD, 'CAUSE A HUNGRY MOB, IS A ANGRY MOB'...Hotep...
That’s it? He’s worth $120.4B. He could donate $100B and never miss it.
Be a slave to a job that treats you like a slave, and worship the CEO when he stocks the food banks for you to scrounge for food during this crisis.
Imma tell Jeff to take back his money you ungrateful touts
People complaining abt Amazon ... we all are to blame since we created this monster.
Donations galore around world,Wish sanity prevails over human race to co exist with nature,not work towards its extinction and own existence.
Goddamn Great-Value Lex Luthor.
How about some PPE for his workers while he's at it?! THEY'RE the reason HE can donate a million!
I would rather Amazon pay taxes
FinMinNigeria come and do needful.
He should start by paying his employees their salaries during the crisis JeffBezos
Is That it JeffBezos? Just $100,000,000. Really, you personally are probably making that each day during the coronvirus pandemic. You’ve been putting mom and pop businesses out business for years. I’m sure you can do better than just $100,000,000. FoxNews MSNBC amazon
Well done you Jeff shame the trump empire isn’t following suit
That’s like me donating 20 bucks but thanks for the effort...
good for Besos to donate a spit of some of his billions BUT why doesn’t he also pay all his workers a living wage plus health insurance ? why not ? why not ? why not ?
About time he shared some of his $$$$. He needs to better support those who work for him at Amazon and Whole Foods.
How about sending every customer a care kit!!! I’ve order from you Mr Bezo but your donation will never get into my hands.
He will be giving more than that after the court case and might be in jail too.
Way better than the Clinton’s 400 pizzas
Bruh...Donate that money to your employees.
Well done
Ok, now double the pay of his employees.
Millonaires do the dame...!!!!!
fuckin' peanuts
How much he giving his workers ?
Good excelente
VERY GOOD !!!!
Here comes the calculator warriors again.
Can he also pay his employees hazard pay? Can he provide them with better protection? JeffBezos
Damn, dude is giving **100 million** and you guys are flaming him. 100 mil is a ton of money, regardless of how much he’s worth.
I’m sure that is great but can he also pay his workers while they are out
Hard to talk shit to that
AN AMOUNT HE WILL NEVER, EVER MISS. It’s a blip. An fraction of a fraction of a decimal. Fuck this guy
That’s like an average Joe dropping $25 He needs to step it the f up! He truly is doctor evil.
Out-of-work Americans like the Amazon employee fired for protesting unsafe work conditions?
Cool. Now pay your fair share of fucking taxes.
I'm hungry give me 100M
Publicity stunt tax write-off
Fantastic
Glad he is donating but not awed by this. I am awed by the single mom who gives $30 and will miss it trying to survive rather than someone who has billions giving millions. He will still live nicely.I think he needs to give much more and treat his workers better.Then I will clap.
Great. And now decent salary and health care benefits for all employees.
It’s crazy that to most people $100 million is an absurd amount of money, yet Bezos is worth $100+ billion.
Thank you JeffBezos This will be very helpful. So many people are hungry.
He would pay much more than that if he actually paid taxes. Or paid his employees living wages. Please stop acting like charity is an acceptable substitute for taxes and minimum wage laws, because it clearly isn’t. You don’t become a Trillionare by helping others.
Great, and now take care of your workers too
SpiroAgnewGhost 'Donating' as in using it as a tax deduction?
Really nothing compared to the tax break he’s got!
Here comes the tweets of people not doing SHIT, gonna lash out at someone donating 100 million dollars.
How about he stick the shelves at Whole Foods in Hawaii?!
Thank you
Respect. Millions of lives will be saved under your generous action.
Dear Jeff, make it 200 million.
But all the food banks are closed!! Idiot!
Good for him
Pittance
This guy has clearly murdered children before. What a sick pedo.
JeffBezos you know if you really want to help, you can easily give each American a million dollars and they can take care of themselves right. Buy their own food and much more. Just saying
Good guy, How much was it Amazon should have paid in taxs again?
Is it also going to his workers that were fired for speaking out about unsafe working conditions? ChrisSmalls
JeffBezos needs to provide PPE BoycottAmazon
Thank you
How noble. Where are the bazillion-aires when times are good? Imagine if they had spent a small fraction of their wealth in promoting STEM educational programs in public schools for the past 20 years. Maybe it wouldn’t take so long to find a solution?
Crumbs
How about paying employees
Prove it.
That's all?
What a prince
I guess he’s making use out of the ZERO dollars tax money his company paid.
Great job...
Wow
What about taking care of employees?
Which is a penny of his $117.3 billion fortune.
Now do your workers!
