PURA SANGRE  User ID: 79386700  United States11/26/2022 10:01 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (ZeroHedge) It looks as though Jeff Bezos is following through on his promise to give away most of his fortune in his lifetime... The Amazon founder and billionaire announced last week on Instagram that he recently awarded 40 grants as part of his Bezos Day 1 Families Fund initiative, which will go to fight homelessness. They make up a portion of a $2 billion commitment Bezos has made to fight homelessness, according to CNN. In an exclusive interview with the network, Bezos had previously said he "plans to donate the majority of his $124 billion net worth during his lifetime".

Bezos would need 3.1 billion to give each person a $1 per hour raise for just 1 year. With 128 million he can give each of his employees a 1 cent raise for one year assuming they all work full time at 2080 hours per year. |

I see a line of really nice tents along my route to work every day. Expensive ones. Jobs all around but they will not even try. Elect to make it a rule that you get the hand out, you do work for the city/county system. Not show up, no pay. |

| Remedial_Rebel User ID: 78258400 United States11/27/2022 09:34 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bezos's net worth is $116,800,000,000 [link to www.forbes.com (secure)] So $123 million is about 1/10th of a percent of Bezos's net worth. The average American net worth is $121,700. [link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] So the equivalent donation is $121.70 If average American donates $121.70, does that make them a great philanthropist? |
