faramir77 03/27/18 9:18:02 AM #8:	I don't think it works that way. It's not like he has over $100B in his bank account. It's his net worth, so it's tied to his stake in Amazon. That number is a reflection of what Amazon is worth, not what Bezos physically owns. The fact he magically gained $50B over a week is evidence of that. A company's worth can easily fluctuate. Still, Bezos is extremely fucking rich, and has absolutely no valid reason to not hand out billions in charity.

Hell, a few percentage of his asset is probably more than what the Federal government spend on some social aspects.
