At the same time, his $1.62 is more than than what the typical American has donated.

So you dispute that his net worth is $110 billion?

They should be using median net worth, which is something like $97,300 for households. The picture is even bleaker than suggested here.

Yeah, agreed. They were being very generous using the average.

Like the complete opposite of getting a grip and utterly irrelevent.

Do you need me to read the topic out to you, or maybe get someone else to? I fail to see what that disgusting nonsense has to do with rich people "not donating enough" in the eyes of some.

I really think something has to be mentally wrong with billionaires. Like, if I had the kind of money bezos had I could sneeze millions (or billions) at peoples' problems, but this dude just doesn't give a shit. It's so unsettling
Then you wouldn't be a billionaire. Bezos got to where he is now by reinvesting and growing his profits. The more he reinvests, the more money and power he has to affect change.

True. Just goes to show he cares more about his mountain of gold than human and animal lives, massive swathes of ecosystem, etc.

If youre hiding inside a massive underground shelter during a nuclear event, filled with resources enough to take care of your whole family but you lock your wife and kids out, is that ok? I mean, its not like you had to let them in, as you say right?

Bloomberg is spending millions and reportedly is gonna spend billions trying to be president.

He's not as rich as Bezos but he's not not a billionaire.

Doesn't Bezos just sink money into space exploration without expecting a return, too? I know a lot of people are cool with that but I think it demonstrates fucked up priorities personally, just my opinion tho

TC doesn't care that any money is helpful to the cause. He just need to bitch about rich people.

Edit: I guess my take of "awesome $1.4M was donated to a good cause" isn't controversial enough for the internet.

Next thing after this would be sucking up to billionaires as if you're hoping they notice your efforts and compensate your accordingly

The point is Bezos is a cheapass and nothing more than that. Nobody is saying more than words or coming after his money. No shit that people are going to have an opinion about something publicized about the richest person on the planet.
