MacKenzie Bezos, one of the richest women in the world, has committed to donate at least half of her wealth to charity following her divorce from Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos.
Ms. Bezos has signed the Giving Pledge, which encourages the world’s richest individuals and couples to give more than half of their wealth to philanthropy or charitable causes, either during their lifetime or in their wills, the philanthropy group announced on Tuesday.
Give it to farmers
JohnRidgeway Just give it to the government they claim they have all the answers for everyone’s problems.
36billion! I hope she can get by on the $18 BILLION. Don’t come to Illinois this progressive tax will get you.
JeffBezos Guess we now know who's the better half, the better person.
Since Bezos/Amazon paid 0% in taxes AGAIN last year, it is the LEAST they can do. The very, VERY least.
She could eliminate hunger from planet Earth if the gods of Earth allow her to do that
Approximately what would help Tunisia cross its economic hurdles and change dramatically the face of Mediterranean region at once without “ingérence” of “friendly “ countries and institutions that almost ruined us since 2011 revolution “unrest “ 🤨
Good for her!! Her husband should learn from her.
She is going to have a lot of friends!
What a philanthropist, she will suffer like Mother Theresa for the rest of her life with only 16 billion to live on.
The best way to distribute half of her wealth 2 charity is 2 find those home owners who lost their homes back in 2008-2009 meltdown & distribute a portion to them,since they are the most deserving,this is just an opinion rest she will have all the right to do whatever she think
It's very easy to donate something you didn't really work hard to get...💸 36B or 18B wouldn't make a big difference to her... All she cares now is to get her name into history books. And with 18B donation she will be at the top 10. 🤑👍💸
Senator John Kerry is on his way for a date
Good for her! And why all these snarky replies? Geez.
So basically a quarter of Jeff Bezos’ worth.
Ms MacKenzie, Please donate to help the Homeless nationwide.!!! Thanks. mackenziebezos
Why?
Way to go mrs. X Bezos. ! What a woman
Okay great so how can we redistribute the other $18 billion along w/ whatever Jeff is worth?
Dear MacKenzie: 1) your husband loathes President Trump and 2) he left you for a Mexican-American. It seems like a fitting justice, then, if you were to donate the $18billion to help erect The Wall. BuildThatWall JustSayin
I love these pledges, its like taking the credit for it but not doing it. They pledge to do it just before they die so they have the power until then.
Easy to give away someone else’s money. The judge gave it to you, doesn’t mean it was either earned or deserved. Nice PR bull as always from . mackenziebezos JeffBezos
I admire philanthropists. Unfortunately, she is a raving “progressive” and I suspect many of her charities will promote leftist agendas rather than simply helping those most in need. Also, 50% is not so much. This family did 80% and are still thriving:
Thats really nice! Hopefully she actually do it
Can they not find a picture of just her for these news articles? Seeing Jeff Bezos’s photos all over media over this feels like it’s giving him credit.
Affordable housing for their employees living in the parking lot. Tiny home villages near veteran resources.
BillyHallowell If Mackenzie Bezos is willing to part with $2,000.00 I sure could use to build a porch for my disabled wife.
✋🏻
Can you send some money my way ?
Not greedy, and I'll gladly accept only 100k to tide me over for a few years
To make myself feel better about running local businesses into the ground across America.
I have my hand up. Just a small number will be fine.
God bless her
Tasks must have a will of their own and surface into the torrent. Notifications are not enough. Tasks must open to fields needing completion
Plot twist, she’s giving it away in the form of free Amazon Prime memberships 😂
Brava, MacKenzie.
She can start with me
Well. . . you want to keep something around for a rainy day. (I guess it rains a lot in Seattle, so. . .)
They must be hurting..
I just hope she can make ends meet with the other 18 billion. Some people have rough.
Easy come, easy go.
I will take some
So she’ll only have 18 thousand million dollars ? Sad.
Only half?
I just need a couple million please
send some to me beautiful She has really fit arms and shoulders.
Can’t she give 97% away? That still leaves her with $1bn. I’ll be more than content with $1bn!
Billions made off the degrading bodies of warehouse workers shamed into making unrealistic hourly production rates. JeffBezos P.S. I’ll be waiting for the obligatory response from the Amazon Ambassadors stating: “they treat me great” “a software upgrade solved everything!”
Other people’s money spends easier.
TRUTH😊
Good. We are a nation of great philanthropists. It is so disappointing that Trump brings out the self-aggrandizing and self-serving element of the wealthy class.
mackenziebezos! Wow. Impressive. My daughter’s college fund?
As of 2007, Bill and Melinda Gates were the second-most generous philanthropists in America, having given over $28 billion to charity; the couple plan to eventually donate 95 percent of their wealth to charity
Free Amazon Prime for everyone
Build the Wall !!! $18B oughta just about do it.
How can She possibly live on the remainder?! BUILD THE WALL!
Brave 😐
Half to would be nice. Even less.
I d marry her anyway!
Yeah, I don’t agree with bashing the rich. Good for them. Just don’t publicize a pledge like this. Maybe giving away $35 billion is a pledge more worthy of praise? Still sounds uncomfortable hearing it but better than the govt forcing them.
Why?
Where does the line form
Such a cute couple.
So living check to check after that?
Someone convince her to buy up and forgive credit card debt. Fuck foundations.
this is the true essence of a Christian. Share half of her wealth is a phenomenal trait. God Bless her but hope she chooses the charity's wisely . Too many are selfish administrations that take the money instead of giving it to the needy !!!!
she should set up a fund to bring Amazon workers up to a decent living wage....
Thats generous of her
BillyHallowell 'her half'
A story in two parts:
Considering she didn’t earn it, good for her.
mackenziebezos
Crumbs for the peasants.
Looking for a sugar momma.... lol
McClain_on_NFL She could send me some. I’m not greedy.
The better former half.
Good for her!
She can pay my stusent loans if she wants..
Is she dating yet
ComfortablySmug The ex, twisting the knife.
Until a billionaire pledges to give 95 percent of it away, count me as unimpressed.
What a hero. Why not give 35.5 billion of it away right now?
*(To avoid the tax bill)*
She’ll only have $16 BILLION left?! My gosh, how is she expected to survive on that?
