Jeff Bezos says he's giving $10 billion to fight climate change - Business Insider

estimated net worth of nearly $130 billion"Climate change is the biggest threat to our planet," Bezos said in the post. "I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share."The move follows pressure from Amazon employees to push the company to do more to fight climate change.

to get the company carbon neutral by 2040, 100% renewable energy by 2o30, and 100,000 electric delivery vehicles by 2030. Bezos is the only American among the world's five richest people who has not signed the Giving Pledge, in which participants promise to give away more than half of their wealth during their lifetimes or in their wills,

ranmz8 waste of money. watch the movie parasite. the only differnce between the poor and rich are zeros in a bank account. theyre both equally ignorant

Laura88Lee I do realize that China is the biggest polluter, right? His 10 billion ain’t gonna do a thing lol. But it’ll surely make him woke

Awww great another tax break!

Fight corona virus too

No matter how much he donates, people will still be unhappy.

Only?

I think this is great from JeffBezos . He should use it to plant a rainforest. But what would he call it....?

God says you're suppose to give 10% of your income not impressed.... 🙄🙄🙄

meleahpalmer For now.

Whether or not this is an investment strategy or his way of helping the world, one cannot deny the fact that climate change is a topic worth solving if Bezos is investing this amount

Hey Besos I have a bridge I wanna sell ya. Create jobs. Why don't you save humans, when you have more saved humans FIRST, then they'll save the climate. Just take half billion in ADS FOR 3 YEARS. THAT SHOULD DO IT.

I hope he doesn't donate that money to the gates foundation or the clintons, because they are just thieves

7.7 bro I’m glad but still mad

people are honestly being kinda rude. Climate change is a real thing, and it needs o be solved. Good on him.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

don’t be shy put some more!! go on, don’t be shy- put some more!!

once again this proves cyber bullying works

he just threw $10 Billion away and y’all are still pissed🙄

Everyone complained that he wasn't donating enough to important things. Now they're complaining he should've donated to other important things rather than climate change. Wtf is wrong with people. 10 billion is a lot, objectively.

Millionaire Bernie says he is giving ZERO dollars. But Bernie Bros will whine just the same.

HasBezosDecided

THANK YOU JEFF

maybe hes not the most evil man ever after all...

do people realize they don’t have a right to tell people how they should spend their money or -

Why do people keep saying it’s so and so amount of his net worth. He is finally using it to help the world. Who cares the percent of his money it is.

mankeezy99_ Will he get that back when he files his taxes?

kendrawannarka

This is incredible!!

hes damned if he does damned if he don't... u people are never satisfied

Stg y’all people in the comments are absolutely ridiculous give $10 billion to anything at all and then you can say something. The fact that y’all are finding any fault with this whatsoever is absurd

Imagine if he let his employees pee

N fez. Mais que a obrigação

proof that bullying works

Waste of money that could be put to better use.

He's creating a bank with 10 billion to fund whatever he deems eco friendly

only 92.3% more to go Bezzy Boy

People are not thankful.

Is he buying factories in China/India and retrofitting them for pollution? Is he building a nuclear power plant to ween us off of coal? Is he investing in natural gas fracking? I'm guessing no to all, so he's probably throwing his money away for SJW appeasement. His money though.

He’s donating 10 BILLION dollars & people still find a way to complain & say he’s not doing enough. Guarantee 90% of you haven’t put forward a single PENNY. Worry about your own money. Crying on twitter isn’t going to put 10 billion dollars in your pockets. Just be grateful.

i guess mars won’t work out huh?

The rate of return must be substantial...magnanimous.

Amazon trying to save the Amazon. Good boy.

Back taxes...

This man out here paying sales tax on climate change

Too bad it’s for clout lol

Oh man, if only he wasn't such a scumbag, he could donate much more, live like the rest of us, and save several parts of the world. Huh. What a fun unattainable thought experiement!

That’s something

People will never be satisfied with what he does lmao now all of a sudden hes not donating for the right cause

To everybody crying about how that’s only 7.7% of his net worth... that’s ten billion dollars shut the fuck up. Also net worth is different than money in the Bank

It’s the same as me buying a burger.

Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $129.9B. He should give more than $10B, right? Wrong. Net worth is not the same as liquid assets. His net worth means if he sold all of his companies and buildings, stopped paying employees, and sold all of his belongings, then he would have $129.9B.

JeffBezos excellent, please also find a solution to the wasteful package amazon uses in its shipment process. Literally killing the amazon!

He better actually donate that money. Because “he says he’s giving 10 bil” is worth nothing on its own.

i dont this most of y’all understand the difference between net worth and salary/income. just because he had a high net worth, does not mean that’s his yearly income. it doesn’t matter what he donates his money to, as long as it’s a good cause and is actually helpful.

This man won’t be paying taxes for years lol

Definitely the same guy

BEZBO

Guys I’m sure it’s just a tax right off for him 🤷🏼‍♂️😜

Sincerely hope it helps.

damn, gotta give the man credit where it's due

I hate this. Get off your high horse author.

Okay, now we tell him to do something productive for humanity with the other ~hundred billion and his last single billion should last him well into the next centurye

Let me guess...He’s giving it to the Clinton Foundation?

I still dont like the guy... also 7.7% of his net worth 😒

it’s $10B, people are really angry over this.

Look at all the hate for a rich guy. Damn! No wonder Crazy Bernie has so many supporters.

JeffBezos Make it so! 🌎

Switch all his trucks to burn natural gas. Baby steps. Set up an infrastructure to refuel Nat gas in vehicles. That’s a good start..

Great, too bad he had to be pushed by his employees going on strike in order to do it instead of maybe just doing it because he's a good person. Hoarding billions of dollars and then spending a minimal amount on charity doesn't make you a good person. It makes you good at PR.

P

Damn all that and he still cant give people a brake in his warehouses

“It’s money he made” I think his underpaid workers would disagree with you there but go off about how he somehow deserves all of that money.

Great that he’s donating 10 billion but it’s too bad that he’s still killing the environment with his company. Do something that’ll make a lasting impact instead of just throwing money at it like it’s one of your kids

about time

7.7% ? HAHAHAHAAHHAHA FUCKER CAN DO MORE FUCK

If everyone could just fuck off that’d be great

Hats off Jeff Bezos. Hopefully your intelligence rubs off on other billionaires.

Thank you. ActOnClimate

... yeah me too.

Yeah bcz money will stop pollution. 😂 you idiots. Point the finger at yourself . No such thing as climate change

Thank you!!!

You know for a fact you won’t even donate 20 dollars to anything...

Get the other billionaires to do this and the problem they are so worried about it will be solved. Next

Bet he profits off it

These replies just prive you cant make everyone happy

JeffBezos you may want to hang on to that equity LaurenSanchez may end up cleaning house bud before moving onto to some other pro athlete😂 SanchezMethod PlatinumDigger

So generous

Anybody knows about any donation bigger than this? or is this the highest in the history?

Yall so annoying 'but it's 7.7% of his net worth 🤪' shut up its far more than your ridiculous company will ever do

🐐

Switching to renewable energy is a business choice... it is more cost efficient in the long run and you can bet your sweet boot licking ass that's why he's doing it

What’s the quid pro quo ?

Jeff Bezos didn’t “donate” $10B to “fight climate change” he’s setting up a $10B venture called the “Bezos Earth Fund.” In other words, he’s founding a bank and using it to invest in “the green sector,” thereby profiting from & influencing how transition happens

Ok. This is the best thing he’s ever done. Dislike him less now.

LITERALLY EVEN IS SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH BUT WE ALL BROKE NOT LIKE WE DOING THIS

Cheers Jeff

Ahhhh keep it Bezos...climate gonna change as it wants. Cant be bought.

This is The Future!!! Thanks!

JeffBezos $ryveng3

Everyone hates him for hoarding his wealth, but if it weren’t for him doing that up to this point, he would have never been able to compound his money and donate such a large amount

people will never be happy

JeffBezos JeffBezos Will give $10 Billion to arrest ClimateChange Great! How will it be spent? Must be a very detailed PlanToConfrontClimateChange? ClimatePledge ClimateChangeIsReal ClimateEmergency ClimateAction EnvironmentalProtection Rainforest CleanEnergyGrants

2pair1sole

What took so long?

Laura88Lee I hate this guy lol

He should consider investing a large portion into BeyondMeat .. the impact of reducing the beef/pork market and changing how we humans eat would be massive JeffBezos

Knowing how much amazon pollutes with the deliveries, it's just a null operation. Paying taxes, paying well his employees would be better.

Planet Earth: brought to you by Amazon

Clearly Mr Bezos is a wealthy man but imagine what could be achieved if we all donated 7.7% of our net worth to fight climate change

I don’t believe in climate change, it’s real and we du put out a lot of carbon but it’s not that big of deal if yu look at the earths heat levels for the past 10,000 years it’s has been wayyy hotter, it’s big money scheme. Politician use it as another tool for clout or whatever.

Amazon Basic Bicycles. Amazon Prime Multi Family Row homes with off grid solar panels and batteries

How about taking less of a salary and give more back to the employees who break there backs so you can be so successful.

All the people saying he should've given more 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

LOL 'Gosh, we all might die....but 8% is just way too much....'

TYSM 🌸

What? He couldn't bother to slip me $50K or so to fund the development of a home hydro-electrical system?

That'll do good with the $350 billion we already have going towards climate change.

Wow he's fkn rich

There will be some people who find a way to complain about this.

Yeah, okay... But HOW?!

Did anyone thought about the impact it created on the environment in building such a large scale wealth? AmazonBoxes AmazonGoZeroWaste ZeroWastePacking

To be funneled to who really

7% of his net worth is $10 Billion?!?!?

Now will all you SJW’s out there leave the poor bastard alone!!!

BayernMonaco1 بروفيسور حقيقي

But 7.7 percent isn’t anything for besos that’s like an average American giving $7.70 dollars

I would rather him pay taxes.

It’s not about the 7.7% part. 10 BILLION is 10 billion regardless of who gave it.

Sweet......he only gets hundes of millions of our tax dollars tp push propaganda. What could go wrong

I'll take a billion$ and spend the rest of my life picking up trash and cleaning out rivers...

Lest we neglect to mention his company’s carbon footprint, which is the size of Denmark’s.

JeffBezos great. The funds will be utilized by the ClimateChange activists for GretaThunberg travel and pleasure expenses. ClimateChange protests around the world to stall development work. Attend and conduct ClimateChange conferences and UNClimateSummit

I couldnt care less about it being only 7.7% im worried that we are way past 10b required to save this planet, like you know I wanna live and that stuff, hopefully more billionaires donate at least 5% and we might have at least 10 more years.

Bless him!

Nice move.

Who the hell gives a blomp about net worth?! It's helllotta money he's spending to try and change the world! That's the important message of the news not the damn net worth...

It’s never enough. You know there’ll be people who grind their teeth about this. The richest people in America are incredibly generous and their funds are used much more effectively than governments. See Gates and malaria as an example.

Meanwhile, our own federal income taxes are used to subsidize Amazon hubs and warehouses, and also to pay for the food stamps that many Amazon hourly workers rely on.

Okay...yep..this is good. 👍🏾 Guess the penny finally dropped. 10 billion is very okay. Good job Bezzie. 😏👏🏾

Yeah cause he totally made billions of dollars with his own two hands. Amazon is a cancer. Killing small businesses who actually pay taxes and they pay meager wages to overworked employees. His employees and sellers are the true source of his wealth.

heydymichelle Slide me 0.0005 % and we Good lol

Imagine 10 billion being less than 10% of your wealth 🙃 that’s wild.

People mad about this should just stop using amazon if they think he has too much money

Only 10 billion come on buddy you can do better. Like treating your employees right and paying taxes for a start.

Omg but he’s not still not paying taxes

This is awesome!

Cool. This is a good thing. No one would argue I'd think. Now, pay your taxes Jeff.

Whats the motive behind this ?

Jeff Bezos giving $10 billion to fight climate change will result in a boon in the sale of “green” products by Amazon. Is this $10 billion an altruistic act or seed capital?

He is doing more then Greta Thunberg already

Can you also tell your workers at Whole Foods to stop being so cheap with their burrito bowls?

Well done Dr. Evil

One thing I can’t stand about people when they talk about Jeff Bezos is that they don’t understand that most of his net work is not in liquid cash he can just give away or have immediate access to.

Tax time - needs a write off ? Giving it to whom to do what about climate change?

In addition, this somewhat whitewashes the reputation of his business. Profitable investment.

JeffBezos Davos wef UN IMFLive FLOTUS

This is tight let’s enjoy it!

Be a lot cooler if he gave livable wages to his warehouse workers

It's probably because he realized his space plans are unfeasible and he's going to die on this Godforsaken rock like the rest of us.

That’s chicken feed. I gave 20 billion.

He has the money. He can do what he wants with it. 10 billion to fight climate change is not a bad way to spend it. Want to think about the poor? Volunteer at your local shelters. And don't brag about it, just do it. Don't focus on what the rich wont do, focus on what you can do

Now do it 12 more times and you’ll still live comfortably off that last 7B.

Cool. He should still pay more taxes, but this is still cool.

Damn yall really find anything to complain about? Yall were crying that billionaires werent helping climate change and then when they pledged a ton of money you complain about them having too much money and not helping out other problems

Y’all pocket watch like crazy

People need to realize that net worth does not equal how much money is in your bank account.

Good for Jeff, however we should not be relying on plutocrats and oligarchs to fund collectively important causes. Time for wealth taxes! inequality cafreeland PikettyLeMonde ewarren

Why doesn’t anyone ask over what time will the $10 Billion be spent?

Or a smidge of what he/Amazon should probably have paid in company revenue taxes!

take a fair share tax cut and then i am impressed: or better yet just pay your taxes

This is his big PR move ahead of news reports that Amazon is the 1 reason why as many as 10,000 retail stores (and countless jobs) will be eliminated this year alone! DowntownGhostTowns

That's Bezos! That makes eating you about 7.7% easier.

that’s good enough for me. hats off to him.

Many of the grants he funds will spend $$$ doing studies all just to point to Amazon as one of the largest offenders in accelerating climate change.

People will never be satisfied will they

He should join in our initiative to plant one billion trees! SharingEconomy TreeProject Sustainability ClimateChange

GreenFinance ~ more than likely, would go into diversified investment in sustainablebusiness models supportive of SustainableDevelopment, which would actually add more value to his overall net worth in the medium to long run.

thanks Jeff

kingspxnce It’s not upto any one billionaire to help ease climate change, it’s all of us, we all need to stop using fossil fuels, use Elon musk Cars, eat meat but just no cows. No cars, no cows. That would help us help our habit. We can’t waste what we live on, there’s only 1 Earth here.

People were right twitter is the most toxic place.

Wow, a man just donating against climate change and you people can't establish that at least he cares. Most rich people would not donate even 1% of their net worth.

Now if he and others just paid their fair share in personal and corporate taxes...that would be great news.

How much did JeffBezos save on taxes and what part of it is he giving to fight ClimateChange ClimateEmergency ClimateCrisis?

JeffBezos WTF, cuts down Billions of TREES for useless boxes, then says he going to Save The Earth! Need to think people, don’t buy from companies that ruin the earth, money is the only thing they will listen to.

Imagine if he ended world hunger or worked on sanitation. Nope, climate change. Guess my company should go GREEN (easy to fake) get some of that grant money. That’s all it is....scam to scam to scam. Vicious sick cycle.

Y’all mfs don’t even donate a dollar to any cause but love talking shit bout billionaires

That’s what I’m talking about

In theory sounds great but let’s wait to see how that plays out I guess?

How much will be for research, development and propagation of nuclear energy? ShellenbergerMD

Good, a good start! Positive reinforcement when someone does something good .. don’t tear it down because you think it’s not enough.

That what One of these jets that sprays that shit in the sky to change the weather worth?

💎We could pick this apart piece by piece. But it's really not our business.

Throwing money in the trash.

hes donating $10 billion more than me

SaveForests PlantTeees PlasticBan

And ppl still finna be pissed

His Corp should have paid that and about 12% more in income tax. It’s the least he can do.

Whilst this is good & i hope $ is well used, it's worth noting its only 2 months earnings for Jeff. So please, Jeff, pay your taxes not just occasional philanthropic charity that you control outcome of. As supremely high earner u can easily afford to pay your fair share of tax

Ten billion towards climate change is ten billion towards climate change

Bet

Thank you we appreciate it and dont mind ungrateful ppl

What billionaires mean by climate change is over population.

WOW!! Impressive and inspiring! Who is willing to match that donation to help solve the problem of the other non renewable resource to address the growing epidemic of homelessness? We can only imagine how much good we can do too! planet and people partnerships ppp

This is great but people acting like the man is giving away his way of life. Dude still has more money than he knows what to do with. He could give away 99% of his net worth and still be a billionare

Sounds great but Amazon is still gonna pay Federal taxes.

Translation? He’s going after policies and decisions made by Trump and Republicans. Love it! ClimateControl trumpIsACorruptLiar

The people that complain about him not paying any taxes dont realize that this is a tax write off for him 😂😂😂😂

He can invest the same amount in environment friendly packing,instead of bubble wraps,and Lott of packing material,which is a biggest threat to the planet

China appreciates ur donation.

7.7 is A LOT. Y’all are so negative like Jesus. Any money is appreciated

To who? To what?

saveourseas Not my money but I think it could be better spent somewhere else.

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. H. L. Mencken

i dont get why everyone is attacking him he did a nice thing

There is no way people are bitching about this when he donated 10 billion dollars

Shutup about the 7.7 JeffBezos

Man donates large sum of moneyan gets shit for it, literally would have gotten less bad press for not donating

papi_stefanov

Ppl really mad about someone giving money out their own pocket 🤣🤔

Keep going.

Who gets the money

I don't understand why everytime Bezos spends ANY of his money it always follows with 'and that's about x% of his net worth'. No other celebrity has headlines like this. I get that he's rich but it's like people want him to blow all this money in one lifetime.

10 billion is 10 billion it’s on you now science

Why are people complaining saying he has too much money or he shouldn't just donate to Climate change? Pretty sure he earnt his money and last time I checked most people here including me haven't donated any money to stuff like this, especially 10 Billion Dollars

Viva Jeff Bezos! The problem is Trump is undoing environmental protections faster than environmentalists funding can prevent the damage! What’s REALLY needed to save the environment is to get Trump out if office! Let’s make that the focus!

RedDogT3 Meanwhile he has NOT adjusted his life style or business along the same concept.

waiting for people in the replies to not understand how net worth works

Why are we pointing out it’s less than 10% of what he has? What have you contributed to climate change? We as mankind need to stop relying on the wealthy to fix global problems, it’s not their responsibility to spend all of THEIR money to fix shit.

'HeS nOt GiViNg EnOuGh ItS fOr PeRsOnAl GaiNnNnNnNnNn'

So when does he start to pay taxes like the rest of us?

People shouldn't be allowed to make this much, while so many people struggle making SLAVE WAGES and are forced to perform UNFREE LABOR!!

10 billion to change the air, or 10 billion equally divided for the poor hmmm

campbell_finn

Don’t be fooled by billionaires JeffBezos Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Bill Gates want you to eat a lot more vegan burgers💰 The $90 million Series A funding comes from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, which includes the billionaire founders of Amazon, Virgin, and Microsoft

“This is a good thing” and “Jeff Bezos should be taxed at a reasonable rate” are statements that can and should coexist.

How am I not surprised he wants to waste his money on snake oil.

pay ur taxes jeff

Just pay taxes Jeff. God will give you back your hair. Which your money couldn’t buy!

Come on Jeff, keep giving until you're left with 10 billion. Maybe give the workers a few more bucks. This is still good though.

• Funding Gen IV Nuclear? That’s the only solution. •

Majestic__Llama This is awesome!

When will people realise that net worth isn’t what he gets in a year, or what’s just laying in his bank

How about u treat ur workers better, giving no bathroom breaks, if u have to go the bathroom in the wear house there no near by bathrooms,

A tenth of his well for mankind. Unreal! The most unselfish act. He should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize...JeffBezos JeffBezosCNNABCwolfblitzerBBCBreakingNBATVNFLMLBBleacherReportTHRamazon

But me hate rich guy, but rich guy does good thing. How will I ever solve this ideological conundrum?

laurakbrehm Better than giving it to your wife in divorce, right? :D but even if so , props to him

What a legend, if only all billionaires were this generous

Wow if this is true then thankyou so much Jeff Bezos for this incredibly large donation to such an important thing. This should be celebrated

With free delivery?

It smell like broke in these comments. 'Bed on the floor' Twitter always have something to complain about.

As for me, I'm going to focus my attention on fighting occasional shifts in the axis of the earth ... another mostly natural phenomenon.

Seriously, if want climate change, every Local Council must Stop property development.! stop development High rise apartment. Stop building apartments for investors.

JeffBezos realDonaldTrumWhiteHouse kilmeade seanhannity To Jeff Bezos instead of investing pledging $10 Billion to fight Climate change which is a doubtful result. donate most of $10B to stop the Coronavirus from killing ppl daily before it reaches us all including you

✊🏼

Invest in us COVID 19 Do it. So we can respect and applaud you achieving such wealth from us investing in you. Climate change is mostly controlled by nature and God above us all Save your own mankind do not play the creators rule Otherwise mankind will destroy as they made you

Man came from very little , build an empire by himself , yet people are still butthurt over him donating 10b .. incredible , imagine donating 10b and people still call out for more ..

The political left STILL won’t thinks is enough Bezos.

He donated and y’all are still mad like I don’t see you helping

Imagine if he paid his taxes and his employees a decent wage. We might like him and he would “only” be a millionaire

Is that a new trend to count Bezos' spending in % lol

RedDogT3 Ironic in that his company causes a huge amount of carbon emissions

He's giving 10 billion dollars and half the comments here are negative, guys it's 10 billion DOLLARS. 🤣

Everything feels like the Kingsman plot

Good way of saving tax

Pero debe invertir en la zonas donde realmente son necesarios como Sudamérica Brasil, Perú etc. Estos países se están desforestando por la tala ilegal y la minería informal.

He can fuck off! He is doing this now?

Throw away money. Climate will change every day forever as it has changed every day up to today

es lo equivalente a que yo donara 7 euros lol

respect

You people do realize net worth doesn't mean thats how much money they have right You probably dont tho because everyone just listens to youtubers and social media stars for their politics and news

Put $1bil of that this year towards getting president moron out of office 🙏🏽😉👍🏽 Money well spent

There really are people out here still fucking complaining LMFAO

MKESZN Why do they always have to say what percent of his net worth he’s giving? Who gives a shit, the dude probably made that money back before I could write all of this

Tax right off more like.

Straight into his company to invest on climate change ideas and over charge for them. Bit like electric cars, overpriced but can buy the same car with petrol or diesel for less

People really be dumb af

As much as I appreciate the gesture and hope that other corporations follow suit... The causation here is convenience. This feels similar to a Tobacco company creating a fund to fight lung cancer.

Jesus the man donates 10 billion dollars and these fucks arent happy. What do you want him to do, donate everything he has?

Wish he'd donate it to something that can have a tangible affect instead.

Tax Avoidance Strategy !

Once again... Just tax him. And his corporations. Appropriately. If that was being done from the get go we probably wouldn't be where we are today. And he wouldn't have to worry about donating anything.

Watching all the commentary i am.. well, sadly not even suprised. If i had so mich money i wouldnt donate it... humanity doeant deserve. Proof? The commentary under this article. Always finding something to attack a person for.

That's actually sick af. While billionaires shouldn't exist I'm glad hes using his fortune to help the planet. Maybe it's now the way you want him to but its help nonetheless

Does Amazon have any union members on their staff? Would Jeff be better served as a humanitarian by paying his staff just 1/3 extra for their time? Employing more staff so his current staff don't have to pee in a bottle to fill their quotas?

Don’t be shy puts some more

Why are people complaining about him not helping the poor, boi he can legit buy them

He probably already made a quarter of that back over night

How much is he giving to fight trump?

Damn. I just used about 7.7% of my net worth to buy dinner.

10 billion could do amazing things. I hope we will actually see how this money will be put to use, rather than being just a headline

He’s finally playing his taxes

it would be so much more impactful if he just changed the way amazon operated. this is clearly to distract from the damage his company and lifestyle are doing to the planet.

That’s great but I would rather have a government that works ForThePeople than rely on the whims of the mega rich monopolists. That’s why I support Warren2020 PresidentWarren

JeffBezos realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse kilmeade seanhannity To Jeff Bezos instead of investing pledging $10 Billion to fight Climate change which is a doubtful result. donate most of $10B to stop the Coronavirus from killing ppl daily before it reaches us all including you

why are y’all acting like this isn’t a good thing? wha-

this comment section makes me fucking hate humans. someone just kill us all so we can reset.

As long as the other biggest polluters around the planet like India and China dont do anything to stop their pollution your money will be completely wasted...USA has already achieved curbing air pollution and clean water...climate change happens everyday ...nothing new there....

Meanwhile MikeBloomberg is wasting $1B on election advertising to boost his ego. How many inner city schools/children could he help?

If you keep hating on ever single donation then he will just stop donating 🤣

How is moving $10 billion around going to change the weather?

W

The_UnSilent_ We’ll take every nickle we can get. NoDonationTooSmall JeffBezos ClimateChange

You just had to add '...7.7% of his net worth...' for the agenda

Comments by literally every person on twitter who has never given as much as a fucking dollar to any sort of charity at all: How dare you only donate 10 BILLION?!?

Meh. He could buy the world 3x over. This is hardly impressive

Good. Now pay your taxes!!!

W

Oh good , maybe your uncle George will get off everyone’s case for a while.

Complete bullshit. Humans have only a very minor impact on climate.

The_UnSilent_ Must be for some tax write off... didn't Bill Gates give away most of his fortune nothing changed

Why can't they welcome the generosity instead of making out its ONLY7.7% well done Jeff 👏

Caught lying lol elonmusk kanyewest ScottDisick JosephMorgan

Caught much KimKardashian

Long time ago DavidDobrik

Climate change is fixed lol

Broke ppl be like: that’s not enough

Wow

Good man Jeff

hmmm corona virus is eating us up and literally the biggest isuse rn just saying

If you have that much money 10 billion is basically a drop in the ocean. I have more respect for someone who has bugger all and still finds a couple of quid to give to charity.

All that money could wipe out homelessness in how many countrys?

Think about it this way... He didn't have to & you'll probably still use Amazon.

Holy shit! That's amazing. JeffBezos You are a mad man, mad respect for you.

But will he also give 2 cents per every $1 over 50 mil and have Amazon pay taxes? ewarren

Good luck with that then!

I’d rather he paid the correct amount of tax for him and his company so that elected people can decide how to spend it, as well as having much much more to spend.

Let the man live and appreciate at least what he’s doing he might be able to dodge taxes like a stud but at least he has a good heart too 🤷🏼‍♂️

gyasiKM

The_UnSilent_ AnandWrites your thoughts?

10 billion dollars

To be fair the only way climate change was going to be fought was if a billionaire started it.

Lmao can’t please you mfs

Key word: says

Selfless. How will he live?

Krappa

And just how many vehicles deliver packages for him? I so Love that ozone depletion.

Thank you!!! We all need to do as much as possible to promote positive actions!! AlohaAina AlohaHonua

Tax relief

MichaelSkolnik It’s a good start.

all elon’s company’s are helping to combat climate change and he’s puts a lot more money tbh

Thank you JeffBezos 💚🌎

People not gonna like him till he gives everything a way I guess, he shouldn't be forced to donate anymore than he wants too

Normally I'd be cool with giving the percentage of wealth, but 10 billion is fucking substantial and we should all be happy about it.

Wasted money. There's no climate change.

Climate change is natural. The only thing we humans have done is accelerate the event that is inevitable.

Give me a million and I will plant 1000 trees Jeffrey

And we're off to the replies. Let's see what the experts think

I would love to see everyone here give 10 billion to fight climate change. Oh wait they can’t.

Wonder how much of JeffBezos’s Amazon business is contributing to ‘climate change,’ let alone fighting the climate change? But I am sure washingtonpost is purely polluting the environment and the minds with fake news - a total non-value-added entity that should be eliminated.

Maybe he should also show such financial commitment to his workers. People see through you, Jeff.

Is hating on Bezos the new cool thing on Twitter?

Well it’s about time

Where can I apply for it?

Oh wow. Watch everyone flip out now

Good. Now he should use the rest of his money, he basically stole from his employees, in fair wages and working conditions.

Could try paying tax...

Nash_TP There's a positive correlation between guilt and generosity.

I call this Bullshit, no way he’s “donating “ a dime unless he gets money back and how do you donate to climate change? There is no company named Climate Change

Someone enlighten me and tell me what money will do for this?

Just propaganda , I still hate every rich person on this planet and hope nature will kill; us all .... perfect justice

This is pathetic. It's no different than parents making 75K giving their kids a used car in comparison. At least he can write it off on his taxes. Most of the money will go into people's pockets. Have you ever heard of pole shift and it's effect on weather? I suggest you learn.

Strange ?

Yeah sure he is

start with amazons carbon emissions

He could you know like give zero. But I guess things could always be a little better compared to your utopian fantasy.

What a climate change!!?

If he gave me 100 k I’d stop farting.

Well about time? $10bill is a lot. It’s a start so, 👏🏽

That is someone's 7% networth🤭

I would rather see him and others with such wealth pay their federal income taxes like all of us have to pay.

Going to go to Asia and stop the huge factories from emitting smoke?

Give 90% or get hit I’m sure you can live off your remaining 20 billion no problem miss

Those are nontaxpayers problems

why are people complaining that he donated 10 BILLION DOLLARS. LITERALLY WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING. that's $10b more going towards fighting climate change. what have you donated? not 10b. you absolute walnuts.

He should give none since climate change is a lie

watch Patriot Act *cough* episode on billionaires *cough* 👀

That's amazing.

FINALLY

Just like with his taxes, I want to see receipts!

I also gave 7.7% of my networth so about 25$ haha on poor

Hero

Hoax

slyrie Y'all are too entitled to his money

He causes a trillion in damage with the shut he sends out.

Or he could just pay taxes.

Bullying works! Keep going guys

But what about actual problems? Like starvation?

But do the employees get bathroom breaks yet

this is what i like to see

george_chen What a nice guy

For the love of god, it is his money. We just have to be thankful he choices to donate it to cause(s) that is dear to him and that we all advocate to some level. This is his money. Period.

No he's not, it's just another tax evasion scheme just like Bill Gates and Zuck

China and India need to get in board w/ this also 😩😔

Talk about consolation from not paying his fair share of taxes. I can definitely get behind this. Kudos.

Maybe he can start with reducing waste at Amazon - can’t keep count of the number of times I have received diapers wrapped in yards of plastic (hardly recyclable filling) amazon ClimateCrisis

only $10 billion? he could have at least donated somewhere in the millions

I think about the negative impact Amazon inflicts on the planet with packaging and individual deliveries. I am part of the problem. I use Amazon like everyone else. Glad Bezos is donating.

WoW hE cOuLdN't eVeN dOnAtE 10%?

Cause problem, donate to fix problem, cleanse name, loophole tax dodge, rich get richer. Nothing new here

That 10 billion dollars would be used as cover up for something.

Welp let me sit down and look at these replies

Every country should do that !

Linked with him in Maui. He’s a nice guy.

Anything to fight coronavirus?

should have have that money towards finding a cure for cancer and other such diseases. I think that’s more important right now as majority of the world are struggling for free healthcare.

Ummm. I’m sorry but I think that he CANT legally buy the worlds supply of climate change.

i woulda gave 11 billion but thas just me 👍

Imagine if some of that money was spread over other causes rather than just climate change.

but... bUT iT’S Only 7% OF his nEt WOrth

Why not donate to fund the Coronavirus vaccine?

He’s actually doing something while woke Hollywood and broke twitter still bitch about it

All these bootlicker act like somehow this money is gonna do anything for them besides help Jeff on his taxes

Way to go Jeff

JK Simmons should definitely play Jeff Bezos if they ever make a movie about him

finally

I wonder how twitter will try to make it seem like this makes him a terrible person

That’s what he’s doing with part of his TrumpTaxCuts ThanksDrumpf.

😂 special delivery for one item ordered on amazon.

Only on Twitter could a man donate $10 BILLION to help save the planet and people bitch. Unreal. climatechange

Fight climate change with $$ lol

God what a cheap fuck

I hope it is going somewhere useful. I'm tired of people donating millions in this case BILLIONS to a cause and not a damn thing changes. Where is the money going exactly I want to see MASSIVE change with this. Hope he did his research before dumping all that cash

The entitled people in the replies make me sick

Mans can’t donate anything without getting hate

Yo JB... What about the coronavirus vaccine 1st? Priorities dawg.... Priorities...

and I thought I wasted money on uber eats

The man contributed 1/13th of his wealth. I may not be fully accepting of him as a billionaire, but that’s still a lot of heckin money.

lol not even $11 billion

Finally. Good (credit to public pressure & Bernie). He’s also going to pay his taxes.

I pay about 27% of my income in taxes yearly and feel it a lot more than he will at a 7.7% write off under the guise of doing something good. Try even 20% in actual taxes, add another 6% for insurance and we will talk then bro.

“Fight climate change” — how about we prepare for climate change. Some cities will eventually be under water and we need to be ready to accommodate for climate refugees. Nature is a force we cannot fight.

One oversized cardboard box at a time.

kuku27 A man like him are rarely born. Bill Gates began it all, now Elon Musk is on way to enter fray of help

Why doesn't he just use the money to install solar panels on all Amazon buildings, deliver only with EVs, and drones, plant lots of trees, and deploy ocean cleanup crews and work with government on strict air and water pollution laws. And invest in Tesla.

So he can maintain 100% of the market, so he didn't lose much to begin with. Let's not be too naive about how businessmen really care for the world when the products are rightfully the main cause of destroying the world.

Still not enough/not well intentioned say the fuckwads of twitter 😂

Can you spend $10 Billion dollars into unretarding me please mister Bezos sir

Finally and Thank you...

Too bad people are still gonna complain and say 'only 7.7%? Sheesh'

Happy to hear this news about JeffBezos joining the fight against climate change. cleantech

This replies on this tweet is an abomination of humanity.

Stop calculating it this way you, resentment stokers.

Just trying to look like he cares but it’s either that worthless cause or pay it out in taxes and why would he give to the government that allows his freedom to make it. Pathetic

innovation and investment CleanTech to save environment ! including plastic alternative

Love it. Nothing like spending money to change the weather. Just saying bezos BezosEarthFund amzn amazon climatescam

Great initiative. He could also consider increasing the salaries of the employees with super low - shameful - wages....

Oh, we can have some crumbs!? Call me when he pays taxes.

Here come the 'Wow only 10?' dweebs.

He has enough money to end poverty and homelessness, and he still has a nice chunk of change left over.

Everyone was gunning on when he donated less last time they better kiss his ass now

👏👏👏

More cardboard and plastic packaging comes from your company in a single day than the average human could even comprehend. Just stop with the nonsense. No one cares that’s why people keep buying.

How about installing me some solar panels and a Tesla?

You know, like Obama, Al Gore, the European Union, China, etc...Bezos has long been prepared to make a fortune on the forceful implementation of green energy standards, requirements, and laws. As always, it's that love of money thing that drives them. Just ask John Bolton.

Fuck he's so RICH!!! I CAN'T RELATE!!!

His profits have contributed to more than a small portion of his profits, which have contributed to it as well.

You do what you do and contribute to otherside is like joining plus and minus, result is minus. philanthropy

Imagine how much good he could do if he paid taxes.

The 80% of people here complaining are those who can never be satisfied. Just shut up.

What does 10 billion pay for in fighting weather?

Can man city have some money to pay their fine for cheating

Finally, but that’s a drop in the bucket for him; how about he pay taxes.

Thanks Jeff ‼️. But we can’t defeat climate change unless we get on with the rest of of the world. Therefore Bernie is still going to have to win the election, and you are still going to have to pay taxes and your employees $15/hour. NotMeUs GreenNewDeal

That’s all fine and good, but when are my amazon shares going to split?

He could give all his fortune and it would have no effect !

Yet can't find the money to pay his workers a decent wage package.

JeffBezos how about paying taxes so govt funded programs. Don’t get cut. Do you ever wonder how many school programs are cut because you are so greedy and won’t pay taxes like the rest of us. payyourtaxesJeff

Imagine if Amazon paid an actual living wage wherever they were located...

SenSanders

If he just wants to throw away his money , I’ll take it.

Bezos will have to sell stock to fund this. He will pay millions in capital gains taxes.

CLIMATEHOAX

Bezoz is just investing into a charity... its nothing but a tax haven which he will eventuslly use to invest in the CLIMATEHOAX carbon credits and green technology. Just another wealthy oligarch misleading the public.

yes please do it

A month ago he was being “blasted” for donating a mere million $ to fight the Aussie fires;Think this kinda makes up for it.

Ok now I get that he is the richest man in the world, and he doesnt pay taxes and all that jazz. But can we not act like 10 billion dollars isnt alot of money for a good cause. Like the man isnt perfect but come on

Like a fist fight?

Jeeeeeez that’s like me giving .00000000000001 cents

Thanks Jeff, great example for others to follow.🇨🇦🇺🇸👌

The people in the comments that are mad at this need to be purged. Especially if you’re not trolling. Get a life people.

Might as well set the money on fire. Will do just as much good

gimme some too

Great let him start with the massive amount of plastic that the fulfillment centers use in their packaging for each FBA order

Investisment JeffBezos good deal about to help update warehouse to a stand what works

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

nah bro pay your taxes lol

So he’s buying tsla stock. Nice Jeff!

JeffBezos why don't you actually do something tangible with those billions, like supporting projects like BoyanSlat from TheOceanCleanup instead of wasting it on activists and scientists who actually achieve nothing. What a waste!

Does this even begin to offset the environmental costs of even his company alone? I doubt it.

Good job JEFF WE LIKE THIS ‼️‼️‼️‼️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🙌‼️

cool

Well that should about do it... let’s move on.

, JeffBezos can you please invest some money towards busting meat protein diet? Which will help towards climate conservation, global warmimh, animal compassion goals. Can you lead the way?

We can just gather up the dragon balls and wish for a better planet. I don't have the radar though......

Nah, man. We’re taking it all.

Y’all some some jealous ass people like why you care so much what he does with his money like just cause yall broke doesn’t mean he has to be broke too trynna day why doesn’t he give it to the poor why don’t YOU give to the poor instead of relying on others to do it

That’d be great if climate change existed

Regardless of how you view him personally, I think you should be appreciative of what he's doing. 10 billion dollars won't be enough to end climate change, but at least he's helping the cause.

It would be more intelligent to use it to clean up streets of California since his fellow libby brains can’t seem to figure it out. What. A. Waste.

Progressives right now.

PetraAu This ends up being meaningless considering government must be on board with climate action. Private money is not enough.

Batman, CEO of Wayne Enterprises.

Can’t wait for broke & angry twitter to say “BuT iTs OnLy x% oF hIs WeAlTh” or something about how he’s doing it for a tax break. Better to donate it to charity than whatever the govt would waste it on.

Let me guess everyone's going to complain lmao

Imagine complaining about the rich not donating to fight climate change and then complaining when they give to fight climate change. Pathetic.

Then you donate 10 billion dollars since it's not enough holy fuck I swear people give money that they've worked hard for to help and all you could do is write a story article to complain about it.

Sounds like someone is about to sell some stock and found a way to gain PR while reducing his taxable income 🤑🤑

newsflash for all you twitter cretins, net worth does not equal salary.

7o7

Thank you.

elonmusk put 50% of his net worth.

Uh oh - looks like there gonna be alot more ‘amazon-shovels’ purchased in Canada haarp nexrad

Very nice.

How much have Bernard BernieSanders and AOC been able to get Congress to commit to fight climate change?

How about paying taxes

It’d be great if he pledged to pay his fucking taxes.

We need a million people to give and fight climate change. If the planet is gone, ones money won't matter.

Can he pledge at least 1 mil to me? Thanks.

What about $10 billion to fight student loan debt? payoffstudentloans

I’m ready to name a currency after this bad$$! Bezos billions for the win!!

Sounds like he realized going to Mars isn't as practical as he thought....

Everyone is still complaining about the lack of taxes that Amazon paid. The official US tax code is roughly 2,600 pages long, last I heard, less than 100 of those are concerned with what you pay. The remaining 2500 are how to deduct tax. Its intentionally set up that way lmao.

Can I add, that’s 7% of his net worth, no his liquidated money.

What is climate change? Ohhh, is that the thing they used to call global warming?

How do I go about getting one of these grants to fight climate change?

How bout remove the illegally parked contracted amazon trucks behind my house.. these are parked without permits. They are a hazard during morning rush hour as they all try to pull out onto the main road. I live in Harleysville Pennsylvania.

Perhaps Jeff Bezos can focus on something real. Like helping Haiti and Puerto Rico rebuild their infrastructure.

And a whole continent got less than a million to help fend for their lives and environment. Thanks Jeff.

People really busting him about donating “only 7.7% of his TOTAL net worth” when mfs won’t even give homeless people a dollar when they ask. Smh

He could switch his delivery vehicles to electric , reduce packaging and figure out how to recycle all that material . Mind his own polution

I hope he had prime and it gets here quick

Hes going to put it in a charity of his own. Take a tax break so large he wont pay taxes and it will just sit there, never properly being used. Fuck billionaires

y’all ain’t never satisfied

Jeff Bezos gives himself $10 billion, I mean his charity....

i am smart and know how to use 10 billion dollars better

EDavidAn Yep he’s gouging impoverished downtrodden Palestinians

Go Bezos! He just donated $10 billion to the cause of climate warming fightclimagechange

Thanks Jeff, Earth over All

He can also pay his employees more since he doesn't have any problem shelling out this kind of money.

That it? Come on JeffBezos serously you can dig in your pocket for more spare change.

That's it?

Kris_Sacrebleu Jeff Bezos, among other Trump critics, will have his entire fortune seized if the Trump crime clan gets re-elected. Remember you read it here in Feb 20. Dude wants revenge bad.

Angry twitter really out here wildin', huh?

JacekJasinski Amazon saving the Amazon

Jeff give me 1 billion and I’ll recycle ♻️ that’s helping right?

Whoopee... he sells pollution.

y’all mad that he doesn’t donate enough to climate change. now y’all pressed that he gave 10 billion fucking dollars and didn’t give it to “the poor”.

The same people getting mad at this are the same people that walk past the homeless with airpods in

That's his wealth, that's how much he owns like in property and items and shit. It's not how much is is his bank. That percentage would be higher if it was compared to how much money was in his bank

I don't know how to feel about dis tho? Like yea 10 bil to help fight climate change, but then again it's Jeff Buttyhole

Hands up which countries Gov will match $10Bn, do have any bids China, U.S, India, Russia,...anyone?

What does he need the other 70 billion for if hes that concerned

What a waste of money.

Imagine having 10 billion dollars, like what, my card still gets declined at McDonalds

Amazon sells billions of items on the internet and delivers them in larg trucks 7 days a week.. they are one of the leading causes of climate change ... lol.. I’m guessing scientist will not tell him this and just take the money

Let me guess all the money goes to a 501 (c) (4)

Help the homeless first

BuyTheMets 🙏

I really don’t know how much 10 billion is that’s like so much money lmao

buTs ThaTS nOt EnoUGH!!!!

Why does US MSM and struggle with Billionaires and their public philanthropy? America has a rich history of successful business people being philanthropic. New billionaires trying to give back is lambasted? Doesn’t make sense? Up for discussing this subject

This is awesome. The percentage of his total worth is totally irrelevant. He’s donating literal BILLIONS guys. Thats incredible

this man worked for his money. y’all expecting him to use it to solve all the worlds problems is not fair.

Thank you

Is the 7.7% part supposed to negate the fact that it's $10 BILLION. I'm pretty sure that's more than any one person bitching here will ever give.

It would be ideal if we didn't need taxes, and if everyone benefitting from society always chipped in what they could afford. Less bureaucracy to dilute the funds. The question is, would most people pay 'taxes' if there wasn't any legal pressure to do so, just social pressure?

Oh common !! Your Amazon leaves a lot of pollution. Why don’t you give away $10.00 us for every purchase over $ 50.00 dollars for 3 years in a row ?

9.8b tax refund

JeffBezos 👏👏 Intelligent decision, ...but Avoid the Charlatans!

How about mounting a campaign against Trump? Four more years of Rep idiocy will doom the planet.

ahicks_14 Bruh why y’all keep saying it’s so and so amount of his net worth. The man is using it to help the world. Who cares the percent of his money it is

Hi, I'm in a long exhausting conversation with autodesk CEO and executives, asking them to divest from coal. I received testimonies from employees, and I'm looking for a platform to share the full story: autodesklife

In ads to the Washington Post?

🤡🤡🤡

Atleast he’s doing something except simping

👏🙏💙

'He said he expects to start giving out grants this summer' Grants to who? GretaThunberg parents must think they have won the lottery. ClimateFraud

what if it turns out having 25 bathrooms contributes to climate change

cyberbullying works!! ❤️

That’s great hey impeachment boy realDonaldTrump what are you doing?

Awesome Thanks for your leadership and for hearing Greta Thunberg

JeffBezos Jeff, start paying your fair share of taxes first. Then, you may be ‘charitable’ as you wish

I'm sure 15000 little Amazon Prime trucks buzzing around every day isn't adding anything to the fake problem.

Jeff who?

JeffBezos Now let’s donate 10 Billion to homelessness, and another 10 billion education and fighting poverty maybe

My problem with these pledges is where does it all go.. ? Never see any results or clear plans.. if i would’ve want to use these funds where do i go

bezos is also creating technology to discover oil so take this with a grain of salt.

nuke him

It’s going to take more than money to “fix” climate change, but hey anything to make us feel better about the inevitable 🙃

Sure would help, if it also means he doesn’t monopolize all the innovation that comes from his donation!

Cool story Jeff. Pay your damn taxes.

wait till we find out it’s from another one of his own foundations and it’s in stock value

Genuinely hope you guys know it’s for a tax write off

JV I always hear you say something about him “donating” and it not affecting him. I agree with you so I’m happy to see this

I don’t want to be at the mercy of a billionaire. The U.S. government should do its job and implement a carbon tax.

Great PR move on his part. Take the 'hot issue' of the day with a 16 yr old as the poster child of the movement and say you support it. If climate change was a true concern the activists would concentrate their effort on the true abuser of it: CHINA

jesus finally

This is great.

LMAO 😂

The human fund

JeffBezos is a fraudster. amazon is BIGGEST polluter, he buys mansions around the🌎, polluting in 1 month what avg. person would do 10 years in their home. BI, you should know better that this is only window dressing, Bezos wants to avoid PITCHFORKS coming for him. Bozo=Fraud!

Hope he starts in INDIA. They have 22 of the top 30 cities with the highest particulate in the air. Don’t waste money in the U.S. which would be tantamount to a foot exam on a patient with a brain tumor. Climate change is a “symptom” of a larger complex environmental issue.

doitlikecris ChaseCuyler, you think Burns would like Bezos if he bought billions of Tesla’s for people?

He seems to have enough wealth. Maybe he doesn't need government subsidies?

“He should’ve donated some of that to the poor and schools.” THERE AINT GONNA BE SCHOOLS OR POOR PEOPLE IF WE KEEP THE EARTH GOING THE WAY ITS BEEN. Let’s save the earth first so that when we help fight other world issues, we can all experience it without worry

Ha! Since ClimateChange was created by NWO to kill over 7 billion people, where is Bezos money really going Agenda2030? Evil scum.

It’s easy to give away that kinda money when u steal by not paying taxes

What is Jeff Bezos/Amazon’s carbon footprint?

While spending even more to destroy it.

Tax write off

you know im usually a jeff criticizer but i think it's great he donated so much this time. even if he still has another 100 billion, 10 is an incredible amount of money.

He's sending air conditioners to the north pole.

next: world hunger

Mad how people are giving him this much hate for helping the planet and giving 7 BILLION DOLLARS away

People still upset lmfao y’all so miserable

JeffBezos give me 1 million I’ll go into the wilderness and kill climate change for you.

This is progress. Kinda

Imagine if he paid his employees properly.

Spend less than that and give everyone in the world $1B 😅

People thinking they get to dictate how he spends his money

In Amazon’s Home town, the mayor makes certain that there isn’t a supply of renewable Diesel (RD) for home-owner-oil burners by purchasing all that is created. Hoping Bezos will target Seattle as a specific area to focus on. Brewed from sewage, RD is cheep and cleaner than gas.

Only 10 billion?!? What’s wrong with this guy?!

🗞 SCANDAL 1: Amazon is under scrutiny for paying no corporate taxes. 🗞 SCANDAL 2 :Amazon founder has purchased record-breaking property: $165 million. More than Amazon has paid so far in federal corporate income tax for 2019. 🗞 PR Move 1: 👆🏽 (better come through for the 🌎)

Here we go ... Sounds so Bill & Melinda Gates.

... but doesnt shipping goods all over the world constantly contribute to waste and emissions or am i wrong? 🤔

A tax shelter for him, I'm sure. The truly altruistic aren't out here looking to have their egos stroked on social media.

fath3r1 aight you won

All he would have to do is curb white euro fascist capitalist consumerism within his company by a third. He is a main cause

That's $10 billion that doesnt have to come from tax payers to a worthless cause.

HomeWorksofAmer will lower the carbon footprint of 200 low incomes homes in 2020 in South Carolina. TomSteyer

but really he donated 10b so it wont be taxed

Positive. But let's hope JeffBezos applies this same approach to amazon business dealings and responsibility. We must progress.

Since climate change is a hoax I wonder why he's really doing this. Where is the money really going hmm? 🤔

I guess he thinks we should kiss his ass?! 7.7% will be made back in interest in no time

He could feed millions with that.

Wealthy person: *Does something good* Twitter: 'Not good enough, you shoulda done all these other things too.'

How about he starts with paying taxes first?

I wish he would just pay my mortgage then i'd be okay with all of this

Start by reducing packaging.

Jesus that's a lot of money. Good for him

Bro help your fucking employees.

Wonderful gesture!!! Thank you for protecting the earth for all of us. Can’t believe there’re still negative comments.

It's not like Bezos has a Scrooge McDuck money bin where he can load dump trucks with money by a steam shovel. He will have to sell $10 billion in Amazon stock. Note, none of this will be in investment - it will all be grants.

Maybe start in all electric delivery trucks/vans?

ventridel +1 Respect

The only way to help the poor and ourselves is to invest in massive projects that shape the world. Manage the risk of hundreds that will be unprotected as the Earth gets warmer by looking forward on the ongoing unsolved climate crisis mandates having a great vision

Maybe if he gave everyone in this country enough to pay off their mortgages he might actually help someone.

Can’t believe people still talking shit! You know damn well you don’t even donate 5 bucks to anything or anyone. Can’t make people happy they want whatever it’s important to them right now. Climate change it’s a everyone issue FYI!

SiliconValleySoWhite, SiliconWadiSoRacist, I’m not impressed. BezosEarthFund is Lifeboat reinvented. ClimateAction is Eugenics in disguise. Only BDS & Reparations leads to ClimateJustice! Did Bezos snuff out KobeBryant over Trillionaire status? Epstein MBS 911Truth

If Bezos was serious about making a difference, he would contribute his $$$$ to fix this issue that is also caused by the products he ships. He is part of the problem.

He could start by not launching space tourism rockets 🤯

Go with Tesla

Hey JeffBezos maybe start with buying what's left of the Amazon rainforest before its completely burned down

ok

This is it, chief.

So will that money go to China, India, Russia, Africa where the pollution exists

...and not 1 person is buying that this is authentic. There’s some side note here that it’s to his make his own businesses more money...I’d bet money on that.

What a great Man JeffBezos is inspirational

idc what his worth is. he’s giving

Waiting for the replies to say 'BUT IT'S ONLY 7.7% OF HIS INCOME HE'S A CAPITALIST EAT THE RICH' like bruh 10bil is still 10bil

People are actually dying from hunger around the world, that money could help them not your hopeless climate fight. 🤦🏾‍♀️

10 billion is a still a fat amount, even if he has so much more to spare.

$10 billion is still $10 billion!

This man gave away $10 billion and people are still mad. Y'all will really just hate on anything.

Suspect this is in response to all the negative flack he has been getting for 'threatening to fire' employees who talk about climate change.

But but but he doesn’t pay taxes!!! Gets blasted for not paying taxes, gives crazy money to climate change. Dem heads are going to explode

I think 70% would be better. Just ask Bernie,warren,biden,aoc and the rest of the Dems that hate rich people.

Only 7.7% Why am I not in the news for donating 85% of my 15 dollar annual income?

QuotedReplies

The people complaining make me so f*cking mad!!! Y’all are always complaining!! STFU!! He is paying 10 BILLION DOLLARS for god sake! What have y’all done Also stop saying that it’s his money. The guy literally built up this company up from a garage. (1/2)

pay your taxes

Hope its not going to be wasted

You'd think he'd put that money towards saving the Amazon

$10 billion is a pocket change compared to how much the international financiers are expecting to earn on interest from the loans that all countries will have to take to pay for switching their energy production to the renewable ‘green’ processes.

twitter: why wont rich people donate money to climate change? Rich people: *donates to climate change* Twitter: :(

Bezos2020 plz

They'll still hate you... JeffBezos

Oh coool. If a guy makes his money setting houses on fire and then donates 7% of the profits to rebuild a portion of the homes he ruins I guess that makes him a really great guy!! JeffBezos go F yourself

me if i gave 7% of my net worth

He should start with Flint

aka jeff bezos pledges $10 billion in personal tax write offs

What’s the catch?

Cool. Now pay your taxes.

How bout he post 10 billion to make himself not ugly!

Crazy some people bouta still complain and not have even donated a fucking dollar lol

Now I don't feel bad buying all the shit off Amazon I didn't need:)

It's not enough. The money he's pledging is approx. enough to cover the pollution generated by all Amazon trucks driving on the road all day, every day. A government with an aggressive climate agenda (which is what we need) would tax nearly this on an annual basis.

Holy sh*t! If this guy can give 10 billion how f*cking rich is he!?!? Scary!

Period

The replies are your brain on populism

The Thomas Edison of our generation 🤨

why does the 7.7% matter tho

Thank you

🤢🤢🤢

Start right here

If Bezos could give me 0.1% of his wealth, I would not worry.

damn what if he paid his taxes

and he’s gonna get a writeoff for taxes and get it all back lmfaooo

JeffBezos I’d love to see the action plan for the project!

lmao but isn’t it under a foundation owned by him

Or why don’t he just give $1 Billions to climate change and $9 Billions to help the poor. It’s simple !

Says he’s donating billions and people in the comments still complain The fuck is wrong with y’all he doesn’t have any obligations to do shit and yet he’s still helping

Still have employees on food stamps, housing assistance, and public health aid.

Or less than 40 days of income for the guy who personally makes $260 Million a day......

Must feel pressure from not paying any taxes!!

Why did he need to create his own fund as opposed to donating to an established fund? He is just going to get personal tax benefits now because of this...

We would have more than that, if he paid his fair share of taxes.

I won't rest til it's all of his money

The moment you try to buy good will with an amount that is utterly inconsequential to your lifestyle. If he gave a shit about the environment this wouldn't be a thing.

Thank you JeffBezos. ClimateAction ClimateCrisis

Tax him at 90%

Every1's saying that climate change isnt the big issue here... biss if you don't help climate change and do something about it then there will BE no world for you to help.

People say a lot of shit but is he actually doing that tho?

Correction-'Jeff Bezos writes 10 billion off in taxes'

We fight climate change by stopping our asinine dependence on fossil fuels and fracking. I think a better plan for Jeff would be to buy out his oil and gas buddies.

How about ten bil to fight djt he has no billions

Who cares if its 7.7% of his net worth. Still more than anyone who will read this article. Look at the pros not the cons.

I just gave 7,7% of my money to the local store buying nothing

I saw alot of comments of people saying that's not even a fracture of how much he has but people dont understand at least he is making a effort to fund it because he didnt have to. Just saying

Here’s ten bucks. That’s 7.7% of MY net worth!

Good for Bezos, but countries and corporations should be doing this.

I’m never going to complain about someone donating so much to climate change, hopefully it’s placed towards the correct areas. Not saying I’ll never criticize negative things he does, but this is a shit ton of money towards a good cause and I’m thankful for it

Start by dropping Amazon's lucrative contracts with big oil.

Fair play to him. Hell still have 92.7% of his worth to gain interest and not forgetting the profit he makes daily from all of his giantic businesses

W

MarcVegan $10 Billion probably isn't enough to cover the carbon footprint Amazon has left behind over the last year.

Here we go again

Hey 10 billion will help, Thank you. It is a lot better than zero

this is all pr work for his lawsuit against the cia and trump for not using his cloud system

Climate change isn’t real

How about pay taxes first?

Naaa

Mmm how bout? 38b. Jk. That's cool. I don't follow him much or use amazon or anything howevs i've noticed he has been on the pr train more of l8. Is that bcuz of the no tax? or is he trying to be the cool billionaire ?

So painful to read all those comments (jealousy, hypocrisy,..) just want to say “Thanks”

You guys are acting like climate change isn't the big picture

Didn't have to scroll far to see the commies hating. Don't EVER give into the mob, they are never satisfied. Why not $20 billion? $30? That said, he's more likely to solve the problem than any and all govts.

👏🏻👏🏻

There we go, he must of hopped on Twitter and saw us talking shit

Perfect, now we’re done.

Will he change anything about his business model that is so drastically contributing to CO2 output?

if he died and took one billionaire out with him that would be more to combat climate change than what he 'pledged' through this foundation (aka how rich people avoid paying taxes)

Gee there’s good money in sweatshops obviously!

He’s feeling the heat and climate change has nothing to do with it.

Why not give10 billion to the starving instead of giving it away to fake climate change?

Suppose to tip 20% Jeff!

The amount of people in the replies complaining or criticizing him for donating this much fucking money need to realize he didn’t need to give anything to anyone. Just let this good thing stay as just that.

Good. Now no one will need to steal more tax dollars from me and waste it on fairy dust.

'The Amazon CEO and richest man in the world announced in a post on Instagram that he'd start the Bezos Earth Fund.' So he's giving $10 billion of his own wealth to himself. Amazing.

How are people actually being negative about this? 10B is a lot! Idc from how much. Money is money. A contribution to the cause is a contribution. Simple.

imagine slating a guy who just donated 10 billion 🤣

People really talking shit about him donating only 7.7% if like to see y’all don’t 7.7% of y’all net worth

Bravo. Hope it inspires others Billionairea to schedule an =% of their net worth immediately!!!!

Good for him. Let’s see how much of that end up in politics and and their families as salaries. Other than that good for you Jeff

That’s a lot of Teslas:

10 billion-great-thatll make the earth a better place for HIS offspring and buddies-make him look good...how about doing the RIGHT thing with another 30 billion to help homeless...this earth wasnt just made for you SOB

Excellent public relations exercise. Hopefully other money hoarders will get a conscience.

Maybe he should start by looking at how Amazon packages and ships their orders.

This will be a tax-deductible gift, thanks to Trump, so not a loss of any kind. And it will be replaced from his oil & gas investments within three months.

Not even close.

How about $10 billion to fight cancer? What a stupid pledge, JeffBezos!

FlowDelPhoenix1 Not even pennies.

Sadly we sorta have to praise them dont we? We all LOVE our instant delivery stuff. We all would be miserable if we didnt get out cute new jacket by tomorrow. I'd spend days writing about it in Twitter. All the while one dude uses thousands to make him profit

WhY nOt GiVe ThE pOoR? Maybe cuz fighting climate change is important for the future of all humanity?

I can't believe anyone could even try to spin something like this in a negative light. This is 10 b i l l i o n dollars. The only people who aren't happy about this are people with absolutely zero concept of the value of money.

Why throw in the % of his net worth its still 10 billion dollars

ClimateChange

Seriously😱😯

Aww get fucked, I mean the we'll take the money for help. But didn't you literally threaten to fire your employees. If they spoke out about climate change literally the other month.

Well shit, that's only gonna leave him with $120 billion.. $120,000,000,000... how is he gonna pay for his $165 million dollar house?

Only 10 billion dollars smh , men ain’t shit

JeffBezos slide me 100k and ill clean your house and do the yard work for a year

Carbon foot print tax seems reasonable

man gimme 10 billion too

👏

This is equivalent of Epstein donating $100mm to a center for abused children.

He finally gets it.

Ughhhh what a waste. May as well throw it into the ocean. Climate change is nothing more than a media hoax WakeUp

🤨

How bout give a billion to your home state's school systems

Most commenting have given nothing and done nothing about it...

God is in control. Global warming and climate change is inevitable and is in his hands. Help People!! That is what is needed more. Waste of money. Feed the poor, help people in poverty.

Waste of money..lower your prices..

Let’s make it like the ice bucket challenge!

Why do we have to give a percentage of a billionaires wealth whenever they VOLUNTARILY give away their money?

this whole comment thread is full of bootlickers. stop defending billionaire wage thieves who are destroying our planet for their own profits.

Buy the recycling bins at Costco in bulk to save money JeffBezos

😂😂 he must be informed on what people think of him lol

JeffBezos since you’re so rich or whateva how about venmoing me a little something

People who ignore homeless people are out here complaining he donated money to climate change bitchplease

Bullying does work

Someone down in the comments is gonna be like “BuT hE OnLy dOnAtEd 7.7%”

Meanwhile on another planet - inequality, poverty and the divide between the richest and poorest of society gets bigger, and BIGger, and BIGGER. Over 1m people displaced in Syria (mostly woman and kids).

AGAIN ITS HIS MONEY

in the meantime they cut down trees, fly with private jets, have 10 mansions.. he doesn't care about 10 billion.. he makes like 10 billions in an hour..

Let me hold a dollar

NOW YALL ARE COMPLAINING HE ISNT GIVING TO OTHER THINGS?...................................................... i need to log off

I can’t get mad at him for this. 10 billion is still a lot. It might not really dent his pockets but to help the climate it makes a difference.

That is one creepy looking snake, my God.

realDonaldTrump You can't let Jeff Bezos show you up with philanthropy, will you pledge to match this and prove you're the bigger man?

waste of money

_durrss wat does his money have to do with anything

Ur company is the least green thing on the planet dawg

“That’s all? Billionaires are evil!” - Some Dummy 2020

Relying on the charity of billionaires to save the planet is pretty scary. Maybe if they just paid their taxes and didn’t buy off politicians to do their bidding, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.

Any mention of introducing an alternative to the massive amounts of plastic waste from Amazon packages?

That's one Amazon account closed.

A whole 7.7%. Damn.

He could start with using less packaging

Omg only 7.7%, greedy bastard

10 billion dollars to try and change the weather?

Now if all the billionaires in the world would do the same...

Of all things to pick, he picks this🙄

Here come the people who steal ketchup packets from their local burger joint to bemoan him for not giving 77%

respect

If I donate money I made from exploitation is that still a good deed? Is there anything to be said of charitable ill gotten gains? Because it's so much is it above criticism? 🤔

Bezos should pay his workers a decent wage.

Good job Jeff!

He literally just paid the sun to be less bright

caittanderson AbiAndersonn

Damn it’s about time

Everyone’s opinions under this cracks me up 😂😂 he might as well keep all that $ for himself the way y’all be acting

are you guys so fucking determined to make fun of rich people that you won't realize he's giving 10 BILLION dollars?

is that it? 😒😒

I’d rather him to use money to fix all pot holes and old bridges 🙄

...People in these comments seriously complaining? 10 BILLION TO CHARITY. Half of y'all wouldn't give a buck to a homeless man. Stop complaining.

at least it’s a step in the right direction?

Congratulations on the new money laundering operation, jeffbezos.

i swear y’all complain about everything. y’all will never be satisfied

THANKS JEFF. Also for making next day delivery a paid service which excludes unnecessary fast shipping/enables accumulated shipping.

So that mean he’s going to stop chemtrails then, right? 😴😴😴

Proof that bullying works

Jeff Bezos just went “how bout that shit that good for you?”

that’s enough to give every homeless person in America $18,000

the fact that he could give 1m dollars every person in the US ☠

There’s no way anyone is complaining about this right?

And net worth is not cash in the bank. This is probably a large percent of his cash.

Let him pay taxes instead

GOOD MAN.🧐

writes off losses for him. Looks good to his followers though and the ones dying in 10 years now? will love him.

Climate change is hot garbage, how about pledging that money to low income families. We all know their agendas are never truly to help out the needy in this world, but to support false statements like global warming, anyone with half a brain should know climate is cyclical.

You cant fight climate change lol

WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING

I'm sure he will claim it some how to get tax benefits... so they pay $0 in taxes even longer.

That’s cool now give your workers a raise

That’s all?

All those amaZon planes and trucks sure ain’t helping

Give me like 0.01% of that and I’m set for life

Can he make it 9.5 Billion and give me the extra .5 ? Lol

W

Bezos needs to give $1 billion to the democrat nominee as Donald J Trump is currently our biggest climate threat.

I'm sure even this is going to trigger some haters who do pretty much nothing either towards helping the climate or the poor. Classic Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Why doesn’t TomSteyer who will never be POTUS throw his billions at climate change instead of his ludicrous campaign like Bezos. Drop out Steyer. Your’re a joke.

👍🏼

I hope he's not funding a climate denialism body, like our own magnate Twiggy Forest?

Ppl really going at him when they’re sitting there playing keyboard warrior with self made morale high ground 👏🏽

People still finding ways to complain, it's sad

proof that bullying works

I shall believe when I see

Uuuh, it's tax deductible meaning he'll get allot back with income tax. Fact and how will the $10b will be allocated? Stop praising people before you know the facts...

10 billion is 7.7%. Opana plz give me 1% of the 7.7%. I want to fight the climate in my family.

This is called greatness ! This is what makes America great a son of immigrant leads the way for the future generations ! How many other wealthy have the capacity to donate ! I have more respect for him Bill And Neli da Gates than these so called leaders ImranKhanPTI

Good for him and it is his choice.

Yet he is responsible for rampant, daily, delivered in diesel van consumerism

For the stupid people complaining his Net worth isnt what he has in his bank account a lot of that is the investors or company's money, also 10 billion isnt a small number I wanna see you guys donate something equivalent to that instead of just attacking someone doing good.

Amazon is an economical terrorist.. He should be forced to give back to those SMBs that Amazon have ruined.. And the employees that work for minium wage..

I hope half these comments are bait..

It’s actually hilarious how many people tried to take issue with this. People really just want to be mad at anything.

JeffBezos ClimateChange myhero charity

10 Trillion dollars wouldn’t alter the Earth’s natural climate change.

How much has Rebecca given to anything?

Why dont you put that $10b towards the U.S federal tax dollars that amazon avoids paying every year

Mr. BEZOS...God is in charge of climate change..how far your money could go to help those in need..shelters...food banks....man is a FOOL to think he can affect the climate....!

Thank you.

Ok ok that’s super super great . We’re and what is the money going to be used for xxxx how many special brews cans be made ,

This guy could give away 99.9% of his fortune and still have more money than he could spend in several lifetimes. Don’t expect me to be impressed by 7%

Amazonic!

I'd have to just say 'Thanks'.

Tax write off...

I love that so many of the comments are people complaining about this

Idiot

Jeff Bezos sees that a billionaire like Bloomberg has traction so he thinks he has a shot at the presidency too. start the charm campaign now.

More like, Jeff Bezos is giving $10 billion in profit as a donation to his OWN charity so Amazon won't have to pay taxes... Give it up for federal tax loopholes.

In solidarity with good ole Jeff I will also be donating 7.7% of my net worth. I expect to not pay taxes anymore like Jeff as well. Have fun with my $49 earth!!!

7.7% of my net worth doesn’t cover my car insurance

bullying works

SeanBradbery Will it focus on prevention - or just adaptation?

HELL YEAH

How much do those billions of Amazon deliveries pollute the planet?

Still won’t be enough for some people.

Cool story. Now if he only paid his taxes

It’s about time. He’s not taking g it with him

thank you, we all need to make contributions like this

Maybe he can find something to do about the wind turbine blades that are in the Wyoming landfill.

that shouldn’t be allowed, one single person shouldn’t be able to have such a huge net worth that donating 10 BILLION dollars barely affects them

People that are criticizing him are a bunch of pocket watchers fr. Worry about yourself, and if you really care so much about wealth inequality go out and do something about it instead of crying about it on Twitter

nice

I gave 100% of my net worth.

Great. Now give even more and pay some god damn taxes on the company that’s going to make back that money within a year. Also, TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES BETTER.

POTUS Let him start in India, China and Africa. Maybe Bloomberg can add 7.7% of his net worth. Then, the two of them can give 10% of their net worth each to clean up Europe, S. America and Middle East climate change. Once those Continents are cleaned up hit us in N.A.

Why dont he pays his employees more at least $1 increase. He enslaves us for penny and he gets away it. Free us first because we are part of Earth. FUCK JEFF BEZOS

'Hey Jeff, how much do you want life on Earth to improve so we don't live in a Mad Max universe in 50 years?' 'Ehhh like 7.7%.'

Just tax him!

DankRoy420 lol weird that you were just talking about him and now this.

Wanna really save the climate? Use that money to buy FOX NEWS and Twitter, and whatever is left, use to fight the biggest threat to the environment realDonaldTrump

Great now do 100%

The Worst Person You Know Just Did A Good Thing

Thank you Jeff. I hope others follow your example

And everyone will say it’s not enough.....

Then we should start with Amazon & shipping policies/materials, etc.

10 billion is 10 billion. We take those.

this is like 7.7% of the damage people like him caused

Thank you God!

Giving? I won’t ever believe that.

iTweetyNerd Climate change will definitely affect his business model. He is a shrewd rich man and wants to stay that way. I believe this may also be a tax deduction for when the Dems raise his taxes.

Bully the billionaires, it works

He’s jumping into the presidential race isn’t he?

Well, there’s $10 billion down the drain....

Its something and lets hope it helps

Best way to fight climate change is to give that 10$billion to Tesla

People must think that Jeff can just dip his hands into Amazon accounts, it doesn't work like that. He may own stocks that are valued at the price but he doesn't just have it sitting in the bank. He made a very generous donation to fight climate change just be happy with it

bUt hE’s sTiLl a biLLiOnAiRe

Who else on earth has pledged anywhere near 10 billion dollars lol let alone even 1 billion dollars? Bill gates? Warren buffet? Stop policing other peoples wealth.

Is this enough for y’all? Or is this too small of an amount?

Gonna deduct this on his taxes for sure lol

RedDogT3 BernieSanders

That’s awesome, and I’m willing to bet my left nut that people will still find a way to complain that it’s too little

What percent of his net worth that is doesn’t matter why are you including that

Okay I don't hate you so much anymore Jeff I'm sorry thank you

How about just fairly compensating his “team” with 2% of his net worth.

How about the truth of everything

People still gonna cry about it

Due to human greed, a lot of this money is going to be pocketed for personal gains.

He just doesn’t know what too do with all that money anymore😂😂

If he has an extra $100,000 laying around I'm your guy. Thank you in advance.

He needs to pay his taxes.

10 billion dollars. das a lot

fuck off bezos

How good would it be if he paid his taxes

Because we can't rely on the government to take meaningful action with trashy trump in office echoing the mindless puppets at fox news

I just trash talked him 4 hours ago about not doing anything for charity. They really be listening through our phones man

That's kind of a big deal!!!

I'm happy he's doing this but I really don't care what percentage of his net worth it is whether it is 1% or 99% this dude will still be rich af

I just gave 20% of my net worth to a dude who needed change for the bus. Good start, but do better, Bezos.

Thank goodness. Maybe everyone will shut up now.

Bravo!

He was going to pay it as Tax anyway so in this case he won’t

He should pay his fair share of taxes...personal and business

Good job.

How about paying his drivers $20 an hour? Can he do that?

And y’all were worried about what he was gonna do with that amazon stock he sold 🤣🤣🤣 here ya go

Why doesn’t he back Bernie Sanders.

Ok. Get rid of multiple cardboard boxes. My last delivery had 4 for one item. Plus the plastic.

You know what? King shit

Lmfaooo he’s one of the biggest reasons for climate change haha... stop your business and all other big businesses before the world runs out... we need to all die before the world dies hahah we are the reason for the end of the world 😭😭😭😭

Queue the “but that’s like me giving $100!”... that $10b will go farther than taxing him $10b ever would. Thanks Bezos!

When he buys food at McDonald's, you will say he spent how much of his net wealth? Quit it now. Ya'll complaining about the 1%. You don't even donate to approved charities to get a tax rebate. Let alone give money to the needy.

jengrimes8 This article shows that ‘they’ don’t know what ‘they’ are doing!

Money laundered successfully....again.

That’s great! Why does he need the other 120 billion though?

Now that's what the fuck I'm talking about

jengrimes8 Yes please Jeff, I’ll show you how to spend your money!...? 👍

Interesting! Now about Amazon paying taxes?…. Or is this the trade-off for the lack thereof the past couple of years?🧐

Of his money or money from a foundation he is starting and hoping to reach 10 billion. Why doesn’t he just donate 10 billion dollars worth of windmills?

Oh......now he’s gonna toss some money in? Here’s your 2024 candidate warming up.

Yeah that won’t change anything in the long run.

O do jog on Jeff. JeffBezos. goodfellow68

Fear-mongering is to control people who don’t know what’s true! Please Investigate the origin of the manmade “climate change” hypothesis. It’s been debunked! ClimateChangeSwindle

And still there will be no difference what so ever. Forcing a pointless issue on people. Who the fuck wants a electric car. 🙄

Money he probably saved from not paying tax

That's awesome now pay taxes

How about we do the green new deal and tax him.

Somebody needs a tax write-off! bezos ClimateChange climatealarmists

Goes right back to them. Biggest HOAX known to man.he knows what's coming that's why he's off loading stock.GET READY

I will celebrate this by placing an order. Thank you sir 🙏

At least he’s doing something and that something is donating a shit ton of money🙌

This is amazing, and we should all applaud him. So few good news stories these days, let’s rally around this one.

Last week he made $13 Billion in 15 minutes in Amazon stock. He won't miss $10 Billion. I view this as a cold calculating way for him to spend the minimum amount necessary to get protesters off his back. And save on his taxes in the process.

Thank you Jeff!!!!

i see what you did there and i appreciate that

I hate him a little less now

The way yall ride for this insanely rich white man who abuses his work force.. clowns. Everywhere.

W

now let us nationalize Amazon

Amazon Hey BEZOS❣️ AMAZON uses CardboardBoxes made from Trees, trees sequester CO2, invest Amazon profits in planting billions of trees, since Amazon is indirectly contributing to ClimateChange by cutting down trees to make cardboard boxes. ProblemSolved

bgtennisnation Such bravery

I hope the money goes to defeating Trump in the 2020 election then. Ridding Trump from office is the best thing we can do for our environment.

Is it still not enough though?

Jersey_Rebel93 That's his gift to them since he's living tax free. Scratch my back......

“ITS STILL NOT ENOUGH JEFF, WE WANT YOUR ENTIRE NETWORTH” - miserable people who do nothing but complain

10 billion is a substantial amount of money, but he could've given 3x as much.

You can’t change human nature, especially not human nature in the shit hole jurisdictions responsible for the bulk of emissions today... but you can change behavior, lessen and even reverse impacts through technology.

MichaelSkolnik Funny because he made 100% of his 255 billion by polluting the planet to no end.

But is the question not, did the IRC unintentionally but successfully legislate for climate change policy?

Thanks Jeff

❤️

Liberals “ that’s all”

Free BTC every 5 mins using the link below. You will also get your own referral link where you will earn 50% of all btc your referrals make.

It's a good start no matter how you feel about him and Amazon. Hopefully it's the beginning of something even greater.

Before anyone talks about how GREAT Jeff is (it IS good, but...) 1. This is the equivalent of the avg. American donating $1000. 2. He could donate 5x this and still be one of the 10 richest people on earth. 3. Gates has donated 3x this and STILL profits, so Jeff isn’t losing $

Love to see it. Unlike our inept government, Bezos will make sure that $10B is well spent on sustainable impact, not funding Greta’s next World Tour.

MichaelSkolnik Now do poverty.

A little steep for some missing glaciers

There’s zero chance he doesn’t “donate” that money to a group that won’t hide what he does with it

DrPaulyDeSantis but

He’s doing something about it. He didn’t have to but he is. This is great to see🙏

Impressive!!!

Why not give that money to the poor and homeless and people in need instead?

Is this going to fight climatewarmingglobalchange in China and India

MichaelSkolnik 10billion is 10 BILLION no matter % of worth!! If he ain’t giving it in taxes, I’m happy to accept it in behalf of Mother Earth!

W

Irrelevant what he’s worth, it’s 10 billion more than you lot.

Good For you Jeff Bezos

And he's going to make that money back in a week, and get a sweet tax write off from his donation. If he really gave a shit, how about donate his whole networth to saving the planet, and make his money back through hard work?

rayleengale One years growth of his portfolio

Ahh I see, donate 10 billion dollars so we shut up about you not paying your workers. Got it.

techinsider It is time to give billions to fight coronavirus.

MichaelSkolnik Thank you JeffBezos !

MichaelSkolnik JeffBezos pay your fair share of taxes.

MichaelSkolnik JeffBezos you can start by starting a program that will reduce the amount of packaging that amazon has put into the world. You are the leader of this industry. Lead.

Wooooooooow 7.7% is fucking nothing. He'll likely make that money back in a year or two. I gave a higher percentage of my net worth away when I gave 50 bucks to the Bernie campaign. He'll also be able to write this off when he does his taxes, making the donation essentially free

Waste of money!

BEZOS for PRESIDENT... lol why not. US is for sale.

Giving to one of his subsidiaries tax free I guess

Wow such a waste of money were not gonna live that long anyway to see the changes. None of us here want to live that long. Just hurry up and speed up the climate change so we can all burn like we should. This day in age is a disgrace.

Who cares

People are actually mad about this?

You Rock JeffBezos so much love AmazonFamily TwitterFamily

In poor person terms: that’s a pledge of less than $7500.

Cool! We're still gonna make him pay his taxes and his employees

But he doesn't support the GreenNewDeal and he asked Bloomberg, who has the worst climate score among democratic nominees, to run for president

That actually isn't bad. Yeah it's only 7.7% of his worth But that's 10 fucking billion dollars

How about using that to pay your workers and set up a comfortable workplace.

Awesome! At at least he’s not burning it trying to be president.

Thank you

This is good, if true.

That's great, you know what would be better? If Jeff paid his fair share of takes 🤷🏼‍♀️

Still more than most millionaires donate

I’d be remiss if I didnt acknowledge this. I point out all the insignificant contributions (in lieu of fair taxes) from people like Bezos. Contributions that appear generous to the innumerate public and are not. This WOULD be generous and if it happens, I will thank him for it.

It's not fair to put his contribution as a percentage of wealth. I pay a much higher percentage of my wealth to causes but it is in the hundreds not billions. Criticise those not helping at all

anybody who dares to say something along the lines of 'that's it?' reply to this, and i'll tell you exactly why you're incorrect

I’d like to know how that money will be spent and how much tax break he will get because of it.

Must be a nice tax write off

Pledge 10bill to fight coronavirus

I mean we'll take it but you still gotta pay your taxes bruh.

He needs to pay his taxes.

Philanthropy is a cop-out and a distraction

Make all of your trucks and vehicles electric

What a waste of money

Great now start paying your taxes

SueGlashauser JeffBezos thank you! Please send a little also to 'when the primary is over to defeat tRRRump. If we don't win this election the autocracy of tRRRRRRRump will kill the earth.

Right direction, also, if Amazon could not use a box 50 times bigger than the item inside, that would help too

Make it half, actually do it, and then pay some taxes and you'll have my attention.

Tax this clown

The guy pledges $10 billion to a worthy cause and people on Twitter still find a way to complain about it. Don’t ever change you bottom dwellers. Life will move with or without your small time pessimistic and petty thinking.

Diamondthedave

Great. We could have used that money while he was product-replacing his vendors out of business and making all that cheese in the first place. BernieSanders nomorebillionaires

You say how much he donated to the Australia fires.. pretty sure it’s another 600k lmfao okay lex luthor

wow he’s finally doing something useful with his absurd amount of wealth that’s new

.....i’m listening

More than most countries will put up. One man throwing more money at a problem than a first world nation can strikes me as a bit of a problem. What else can he do that some countries cant? At least he isnt starting a war I guess.

I work a golf course in Miami let me make it better down in Miami. Pledge me a million dollars. We will make a difference

Bezos we are proud of you. Please give it to Bill Gates. His foundation actually gets things done. JeffBezos

1. I don't believe he's just being altruistic here 2. Yeah, fighting climate change is important, but there are a lot of other pressing issues, it seems weird to just donate so much to only of of those things. Split it up. Fund some schools and hospitals in places that need help

Cool so like wb taxes lol

Kris_Sacrebleu Hmmmm....bezos pay your fair share of taxes instead

I'll consider forgiving him... maybe

Okay really happy about this but so disgusted that that is 7.7% of all his money

It’s never enough, he should sell it all and close Amazon and then we would be happy 😃😉

He can start without spending money. Encouraging office staff to work remotely would save tons of CO2. Using biodegradable shipping materials would help too.

That’s huge. But let’s see what happens

that’s great! he’s still not paying taxes, that’s such a small percentage and oh! one more thing, eat the rich

That should cover the carbon footprint of all those Amazon trucks

He’ll make it back in like 8 days.

Every little bit counts ClimateChange ClimateAction

Good! That’s a start.💚✌🏼

7%?,? AND IT TOOK HIM THIS LONG

Who's going to hold him to it?

That’s impressive.

You know, over the years I’ve seen many people donate, collect, protest about climate change. But have we ever actually seen where the money goes....what the money was precisely used for to improve the so called climate change? Honest question!

Dude gonna waste 10 billion dollars on something that be honest can be prevented. Mother nature is gonna do what she wants. And there isn't a damn thing we can do about.

He is not someone I like, but if he actually follows through on this, he will offset the damage he has done to our planet.

Boomers are still going to find a way to criticize this

You cant fight climate change with money dude

JackToss

The best approach to tackling climate change is through national and regional governments implementing strategy through taxes. This is a publicity stunt that serves to distract from Amazon's increading fossil fuel investment and poor record on climate.

StopCoal StopAdani

Billionaires do this for PR! There is no need to make a public announcement unless it is to sway public opinion and trick regular people into thinking billionaires are charitable and care about the planet. Death to the oligarchy!

It’s easy to think of $10 billion dollars as imaginary. It’s like if you won 1 million dollars every single day for over 27 years. That’s longer than I’ve been alive.

That’s great and all but Amazon still should pay some taxes.

tuser5555 Thank you JeffBezos Climate change is here, not something that's coming. We are already seeing it's effects play out in parts of the US and around the world. This is only going to continue if we don't start taking it seriously globally.

Now we’re fuckin talkin

What the percentage gotta do with anything

what’re you doing with the rest jeff

He should also plant 1 billion trees a year

I’m drafting up my grant application now... to study the increase in temperature when the sun rises and the decrease when the sun sets... I’ll only need about $50 Million or so 😆 WhatILearnedToday PutThatInYourPipe ClimateCrisis

Liberals will still complain.

well i hope we dont see an increase of the annual amazon prime now because of Bezo ‘s donation to his Earth Fund 😕

Save the money and use electric cars for your delivery drivers.

🌎

bro....the fact that it's 7.7% doesn't mean shit and I don't know why it needs to be included just be grateful he's giving such a large amount it's insane

imagine if he helped the poor instead

Now THAT is a sizable donation. He still has terrible business practices and works people half to death for meager salaries, but $10 billion is $10 billion

To who you're giving away that money?!!

Cup of coffee 🤣

He cant be the richest man alive if we all dead

Hey JeffBezos can you pledge 100 dollars to fight climate change in my pocket, there is absolutely nothing green in it.

Oh cool, a tax-exempt billionaire gives less to charities than we pay in taxes. Sweet.

Jeff Bezos is trying to deflect the democrats on the purchase of that $150mill home. Lmao

Awesome.

That's 10 billion more than most people donated. Stop trying to vilanize him, who cares if it's 7% of his net worth, its still 10 billion.

Wonder if he will make a pledge that none of his full time workers will need to be on food stamps anymore.

Let me know when it’s fixed, til then this while I guess is cool 😎 means nothing... he’ll make that back in a week or two from interest - but 20 years from now we will still be talking climate change & all the same old same old, just buy houses for the homeless that can help now

ok cool i take it back what i said

Is that why he sold 4billion in shares?

This is a good thing, better than nothing, but it will be a smaller and smaller % of his net worth as Amazon’s stock price continues to rise and we could get more with a wealth tax

pay my tuition how about that

How much is billionaire Trump donating.

RedDogT3 He says yes... And so all should believe him right So funny...

Hes been spending some money lately

This is the largest commitment to virtue signaling yet, thank you Jeff Bezos.

Regardless of whatever issues I have with Bezos, this is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, this inspires other billionaires to join in as well.

What about him, Bloomber g and others considering committing to the American people and residents... only a few hundred millions... just saying 🤗 HumanityFirst

This is like the CIA giving money to Osama Bin Laden to help him fight his enemies.

Damn ppl shit on you no matter what - that 10 billion more than most so damn

bobbyhundreds Bro just give me a milli

I’ve often thought giving money to the ocean and asking it nicely to not get deeper was a good idea.

Genial!!!!

So he's going to waste 10 billion dollars then? Alrighty....

cool. it's like pissing on a forest fire. great.

Here come the idiots to complain it wasn't 11 billion

Mans good money if he actually does this

Awesome, Jeff Who! 👏👏👏 Respect! Suggestion: Access to affordable renewable energy resources, i.e. PV panels & energy storage solutions. Put differences aside and speak to Elon... In case you wondered 'Elon Who', I'm referring to Elon Musk😉

_GreatUnwashed He should pay his fucking taxes.

Check the silverware...

Yeah, he bought Tesla Stock.

Now let's watch entitled broke twitter complain about how he's giving just 7.7% of his networth.

Hopefully he can help MrBeastYT help clean our oceans 👀👀

I have a better idea. Let's spend 100% of his money attacking climate change.

So how is that going to effect all that cheap shit made in China ?

7.7% TaxTheRich

Somehow y’all gunna try to hate on him

Make sure the billionaires and the trillionaires know you got to do some Public Service before you go spending your money

yess bullying works

Give that guy a big fat doughnut. I’m buying.

How about just 1 billion to fight coronavirus

All Mets fans right now wish he'd throw some extra billions toward buying the team, and ditching the Wilpons.

JeffBezos Thanks, keep doing it every years so those assholes in DC don't raise my taxes for some bogus crisis.

Where did he get the money if his salary is only 80k? Is he stealing it from his own business, which doesn’t have to pay taxes

Now we're talking!

Give US citizens $1 million each and change lives. Then waste the rest of your money on Climate change.

Nice work Mr. Bezos! That’s a hell of a lot more than most are doing.

Let’s see Beyoncé/Jay-Z and Kylie Jenner and all those other rich celebs step up. Probably not.

7... Save the World again? 'His pledge accounts for about 7.7% of his wealth...' Psalm 18 7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry... Mighty Eight And the Seven, Archangels; Mother Mary!

donnamoon81146 Repayment to Soros?

donnamoon81146 Good let him waste his money.

I mean that's a big deal but like his employees are still being treated like garbage, I feel that also should be worked on at the same time

Why do I know people will still have a problem with this 😂

He should pay his taxes for starters like everyone else. Don’t fight climate change. There is nothing to fight. We have govts to deal with that just pay your taxes.

Pocket change. We take all of it.

Jeff Bezos could give away all of his money to everyone one in the world and people would still bitch about it. Hahaha!

Actually a pretty decent chunk ngl. Too bad it’ll greenwash everything else he does

what an ass! that money could have instantly saved countless American children from hunger and abuse no let’s buy more windmills 🤡 the real climate issue is 🇨🇳 nut up and attack the real problem

jimiuorio Should have done that before the divorce. 🤦‍♂️

“Only 7.7% wow way to dig deep” I can already hear those people lol

Thank you Jeff!! 🙏🙏🙏

7.7% Jesus fucking Christ, as a planet we're in trouble.

So he payed 7.7% tax. Should we clapp?

Good for him. Seriously. I do wish he’d do something about excessive packaging at Amazon too.

Ugh!! Why not 20 billion Such a evil and selfish person!

Too little, too late.

Ok good. Now we can vote to ensure people like him pay their fair share so others won't be burdened be making the right choice

And gave 650k to the Australian fires. He has his priorities straight.

Waste of money if he isn't investing the time to invest something ~ it's apparent there's no solutions available on the market.

RedDogT3 Totally stupid...WOW Amazon emits as much co2 as a small country And now he gives 8% of his wealth to fight damage linked to emissions PURE INSANITY (better than horrific branson, to be clear)

Yeah he’s still a dick though

How's about Bezos pays fair taxes rather than the country rely on his charity?

Phenomenal

For the record his funding will go towards producing fake studies peer reviewed but other scientist also getting paid to create fake studies. Climate Change is not real.

RedDogT3 I’ll help fight climate change if he gives me $10,000,000 🤷‍♂️

Wait, I'm confused. I thought JeffBezos was bad because he is a CEO? I thought money was bad? I'm so confused here.

God help us! Thats $10bn to fund more lunacy! Will head right to the institutes of indoctrination...aka colleges and schools.

This is at least triple what realDonaldTrump has and it’s less than 8 percent of JeffBezos MikeBloomberg — good on these Real billionaires stepping up.

Jeff just dunked on all the tree-hugging liberals who hate him for being so rich 😂😂

ScottHall_101

RedDogT3 Obviously the village idiots bothered by a billionaire's generosity are on display in this thread. Love to see the conspiracy theories.

Next thing you know, he might pay taxes.

Now we are talking that's big boi money

oup He should just buy $10bn worth of tesla cars and give them away to nice people 👍😁🥰

That’s a $10 billion dollar gift that won’t accomplish anything. What a waste of capital. That’s why they call it dumb money DumbMoney

This makes me so mad! He only donated 7.7%? It’s so unfair that he built a multi billion dollar company and does not give away all of his money!

Great. Stop flying

We were hoping he'll give at least 7.701% ,,this man is so --- Imagine his networth

Eat the Rich though right? I’m waiting for the day the government steps in and does this.

Cute

This is a great initiative, unfortunately, he still not paying taxes

RedDogT3 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️

1) invest in perfect machines capable of capturing all the CO2 of the atmosphere and converted on a organic solid state. That machines are already invented by the nature millions of years ago ( trees)

techinsider Massive gesture in this fightofthecentury ClimateAction

BEAUTIFUL JEFF

That's awesome. Anyone who disagrees is a jealous hater.

Why don't he give to the Poor?

Too late, we are only 7-10 cow farts from extinction... Greta Warned Me 💀👻

10 billion is 10 billion. Who else is giving over 7% of salary to anything

Climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe says that one of the best things we can do about climate change is to talk about it. So, I drew from my work as a clinical psychologist to write this guide on how to have a useful conversation about climate change.

He has to make a gesture to placate the Leftist activists who dominate his company.

clusterstock Get all of the plastic out of the ocean big boy

jimiuorio Giving where? Let me guess starting his own foundation that pays out 0.5% of assets per year while giving tons of patronage jobs to ex politicians?

KASDad But but but...he’s supposed to be evil? I don’t understand...

will that go towards the AMAZON FOREST? it's a start

Nothing but pushing a new world order agenda

Finally! While Gates & Buffett & their 13 billionaires Group concentrate on fighting illnesses & hunger in Africa and empowering poor women, now Bezos will help minimize effects of Climate Change on Humans 👍👏

Twitter will be mad he didn’t give 7.8%

'Bezos is the only American among the world's five richest people who has not signed the Giving Pledge'

Critics still gonna come for him like...

Hope 95 % goes to planting trees

JeffBezos For $10k I’ll go outside and fight whatever climate you want.

7.7% more than I have given

i don't need 10 billion, 9 billion is ok for me :D :D - random stuff

Whoa...slow down, JB. I don't remember discussing this. Give me call on the emergency line...stat.

Moral lesson: Rich people don't spend much on low income generators.

Good for him! Now we need a government that follows his lead.

He must give me 0.1% of his wealth. My problems would go away.

That’s great. Now we’ll just wait for him to announce his run for president in 2024

Here comes the criticism
