    *ex-wife

    Also, she’s just playing philanthropist, like Bill and Warren. If she gave all but $10 million away, I’d be impressed.

      Exactly giving little at a time is not doing shit. She is making more in interest then she gives away. She a cunt like Bezo she no hero.

        So you’re privy to how much she’s earning and giving away? You should contact various media outlets, sell that info for a solid payday!

      If she gives it all away, she won’t keep making interest to continue giving it away.

      There’s an Indian story about a rich man who feels bad for beggars so he gives each one he sees a coin. After traveling the country giving away coins he becomes a poor beggar himself. So in the end he didn’t substantially help anyone and now he no longer has the option to help.

        There’s plenty of rich people who could give away money continuously for the rest of their lives and never run out. Bezo’s ex-wife is among them.

        He should have picked himself back up by his bootstraps, since he became rich by being special. (A brahmin maybe).

    Stop billionaire whitewashing.

    Nope, it’s not going back to the employees.

    Also, she’s been donating billions of that fortune for years now.

    This isn’t news.

    Cool but the equivalent of me donating like $50… She won’t be spared from the guillotine yet.

    Doesn’t mean much unless she gave it to the employees themselves

    Since when is theft okay as long as you give back small portion?
