There is nothing worse than a cheap billionaire liberal, they are the worst.

$80 billion ,the ex-wife will get the rest ,LOL

I suppose one good thing is he isnt supporting whacko leftist causes.

[BeauBo]

It is mostly tied up in the business (stock), not lying in a checking account.

[rktman]

His money.

[Secret Agent Man]

So what.

Greedy trying to shame the greedy.

If someone earns it I will applaud the charity, but I,wont browbeat or guilt someone into it. No one has a moral claim to anything else someone has just because they have a lot of it.

It is HIS money he/they can do what they want with it.

Taxpayers are their piggy-bank for big government handouts.

Mother had an old saying: “Them’s that has, keeps!” True, dat...

I am not an admirer of Jeff Bezozs with the exception of his business acumen. He built an incredible company.

However, it is his money! His money to do with as he wishes!

[Theoria]

BS. Bezos or anyone else probably doesn't report the true amounts they contribute. Overall, Bezos has helped to employ tens of thousands of Amercians.

[sparklite2]

I don’t care if he gave none of it away.
It’s his damned money to do with as he pleases.

[DesertRhino]

The charity board grifters who exist on donations are displeased.
Sounds like some city counsel guy in Queens wants a donation for his local charity.

[from occupied ga]

So what? Is anyone obligated to give to charitable causes? It’s his money and although I despise liberals it’s nobody’s business except his what he spends it on.

[JoeFromSidney]

The proper comparison is not with his net worth but with his annual income. The Lord asks only for a tithe of your income, not a tithe of your net worth.

[LegendHasIt]

I hate Bezos with a passion. He is the reason I quit patronizing Amazon.

But I don’t blame him a bit for not donating to charities. Most are scams which benefit their founders and executives much more than they do the supposed recipients of their largesse.

And Bezos DOES support leftist causes, just as much as Soros and Steyer do. He just doesn’t directly write checks. His donations are ‘in kind’: He runs the Washington Post completely as a propaganda organ for the left, at no charge.
His propaganda is worth billions to the left, every year.

[EdnaMode]

But he loves giving other people’s money away, so he can still feel good about himself.

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

their previous giving amounts to a total of just over $145 million

They gave $145 million and people (you) are calling him out on that? I will assume that YOUR charitable giving has FAR surpassed this staggering amount. You are truly magnanimous.

[M Kehoe]

How much does “and his estranged wife MacKenzie,” cost?

5.56mm

[Chickensoup]

why would they be expected to give a percentage of their net worth instead of a percentage of their earned income?

[txrefugee]

We are not financing this greedy SOB. Our New Year’s resolution was to quit buying from Amazon. We are saving a lot of money by eliminating all the impulse buying we were doing on that site.
