Exclusive: Jeff Bezos tells CNN that he'll give away the majority of his $124 billion net worth during his lifetime, the first time he's made such a promise.

Though Bezos’ vow was light on specifics, this marks the first time he has announced that he plans to give away most of his money. Critics have chided Bezos for not signing the Giving Pledge, a promise by hundreds of the world’s richest people to donate the majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

Amazon’s\n \n reckoning with its own effect on the climate mirrors its outsized impact on everything from debates about unionization to antitrust policy, where the company has attracted an enormous level of scrutiny from regulators, lawmakers, and civil society groups. Bezos compared his philanthropic strategy to his years-long effort constructing a titanic engine of e-commerce and cloud computing that has made him one of the most powerful people in the world.

Imagine what her eyes look like when she squints

Yeah right. Bet not one BLACK person sees a red cent

Way to copy your ex wife

Its too bad he wont donate to the employees.

Well, Mr. JeffBezos, you can start by writing me a check for $1,000,000, so I can expand my adult business empire. :-)

Tell him to give 10 million to me.

What I love is no matter how much we claim as ours. We all die with nothing 😇 we’re all just vapors … till death comes calling! Only what u do for Christ will last!🫵🏽

'No you won't,' sidemouse w/harpy voice interjects.

👍

Kudos to the man. He'll get a lot of stick but he is trying to do good.

He won't, it will get kicked in a trust for philanthropic purposes but never get distributed to anyone. When there's no more Jeff, the beneficiaries will be quids in and this bs forgotten about

He will buy new vaccine or maybe will spread some disease conspiring with the worlds health organization

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. How is it so hard for him to find worthy causes? Just a PR stunt for a very greedy man.

Money given to him by counties, states, and federal tax breaks and loopholes?

Makes sense, he’ll give it back to the ppl who ALLOWED him to make billions during his lifetime

'I;ll give it away but don't you dare try taxing it! LOL! Oh the bums are strong on Twitter.

What he means his lifetime ? As if he knows when he will die ? Maybe he will die in a few minutes and he will die without giving away what he promised ?

If you want to unify the world start in your country which has caused most of what we see today your politics are the cause of most of the worlds problems

So he should keep his promise without feel any regret at all with his $ 124 billion net worth ahhem

So what. You can't take it with you. He gets no Pat on the back from me. Could've done it 20 years ago.

You know she called her lawyer soon after…

Well to do that he needs to live long enough..what if he doesn't tho 🤔

… prob just referring to the plastic surgery bills for that partner

🙌📱

is this like when bill gates said he'd give away his entire fortune, but didn't? classic leftist.

I wonder if he'll regret this anytime soon?

Start with the 10,000 you're firing this week

JeffBezos mr afuni mawo bé jowo jeki emi na je ninu ola é

The American dream died, when the left viciously attacked a duly elected President in 2016.

I'm wondering if Bezos is from jew origins. He has the look. And then the name change.

Don't think for a moment that he will ever be poor. Every money he donates he will get back enough money so he will never be broke on his taxes.

Is this a Netflix show?

When do I get mine? LOL

As they layoff 10k people

i doubt that sweet young wife of his will spend it but make sure some is left

Why don't you start by paying your workers better salaries?

Tax season Jeff only does thing for Jeff’s benefit.

😩😱These mature women need to quit messing with their faces.

B.S. P.R stunt, like the others.

Good job daddy bezos

Look at her.....say what?

Pretty Sure Tony Gonzalez, would love to thank you in Crypto !😂🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

Hes doing everything he can to impress his cumare that he isn't like Elon.

Oh my GOODNESS! What an amazing person! Set a Date! 😂🤣🤦🏼‍♂️🥱

Talk of white world problems; he’s having a problem giving away money! I mean I’m sure it’s a thing, but still; wow!

Who's the disfigured woman next to bezos?

Can I have $1 billion? I'd know how to use it.

Even ElonMusk will give away all his wealth. He will make this promise before 2030.

Who's that pumped up puffed lipped manikin? Imagine having to keep a straight face in front of that. Stupid times.

He really traded down, huh.

He can start with me? I don’t need to be rich but I don’t like being broke either!!!!!!!! 💯✊🏾

I'm here anytime you want to send some $$$$ to me. Jeff

hi JeffBezos, can I send to you my bank account? 🙏🏻💖😘

Notice the body language when He says he will, especially the wife (smile quickly disappears). Unless there is a way to say after he dies we will hold him to his word.

Set it on fire to melt the glaciers

The look on her face haha

Not to the homeless? Not to veterans in need? What a way to burn your money, Bozo.

DaveChappelle reckons any statement with 'The Jews' at the beginning will do the trick... I mean, for example, Kanye

pay your workers a living wage FFS!

Send a small chunk my way

What a complete bellend

He could pay his workers a living wage first idk

I'll believe it when I see it. Talk is cheap

why she look like that

The rich realising they’re about to be on the menu?

Lauren is having her fun. Bagged the multi-billionaire, now sitting on CNN like she is a genius

Is his wife a man?

yo liberals, why y'all not riding this dudes nuts talking about solving world hunger? Why y'all not on this dudes nuts about Amazon having a show that you've never watched?

Your tweet was quoted in an article by euroweeklynews

Tired of the ex-wife's favorable publicity re charity donations?

Good man.

Ya probably will do what gates does and donate to companies he has invested in

Two of the phoniest vampires here.

They all “give” it to their own charities so they don’t have to pay taxes.

My name is Winslow Spady. I am a 75 year old Vietnam veteran who finished a masters degree in computer science. I am not going to lie to you but I made a lot of money from my career but lost all of from bad investments trying to be like you. Currently I could use a little help

Oligarchs are criminal looters. WEALTH TAX

Your tweet was quoted in an article by dailymail

He could give $10,000 to 12.4 million poor people and change their lives. Or do a trial of givepeoplemoney UBI I’m over giving to charity, let people make their own decisions about their needs

chandrarsrikant Can’t contain dick energy. Even with 124B has to sleep with Botox factory

Are there people who really want him to do this Nah. Leave it to his kids or nieces or nephews. Society is just bitter. They are the fruits of his work.

We?

To buy the Washington Commanders. There I finished it for him.

Sure thing

😂😂

The Giving Pledge is a farce.
