LOL...my first thought, too. Good thing Biden hired 80,000 IRS agents. He can turn some of them loose on these beneficiaries.

If it was truly a gift, neither of them will owe a dime. Bezos will pay the tax. It's how the gift tax works. If it was not a gift, then it depends on how good their respective CPAs are.

If Bezos “gave” it to them, won’t he have to pay the gift tax?

He should have given the money to Robert O’Neill. He pulled the trigger on Osama bin Laden.

No, he wouldn’t “have” to. They are probably being expected to take the money out from it themselves to pay it. If Bezos tried to gift the taxes on it, then that money would be separately due taxes as well, etc.

Instead of Eva Longoria it might do more for safety of USA to use that money to apprehend terrorists and illegal un-vetted foreigners that illegally entered our country thanks to Biden..

The Eva Longoria Foundation “to help Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families through education and entrepreneurship,”

So a sexist racist organization? And what a transphobe xenophobe racist by not using the White Purple Haired Liberal Approved moniker, “LATINX?”

Why can’t he use his money to buy Epstein’s island and allow only 19 year olds on it?

“Uh, Bin Laden wasn’t captured... he was canoed. Big difference.”

He was not captured, he was assassinated. And then disposed of. U.S. Special Operations troops took him out during a military raid on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan where he and some of his family were hiding out. He was shot in the head while he was cowering unarmed with his wives. After identifying his body, the military brought him aboard the USS Carl Vinson and buried him in the northern Arabian Sea the same day.
