The founder of “Amazon”, Jeff Bezos, said that he will donate most of his wealth during his life, becoming the latest in the series of billionaires who pledged to donate most of their huge wealth.
Bizos, who estimates “Forbes”, announced his actual wealth of about $ 124. 1 billion, in a joint interview on “CNN” with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez, broadcast on Monday.
Bezos did not specify how, or for those who would donate his wealth, but he said that he and his girlfriend are building the ability to do so.
He added: “The difficult part is to know how to do this in a balanced way. This is not easy. Amazon building was not easy. It took a lot of hard work and I needed a lot of very intelligent colleagues. I find- and also Lauren- that doing good is very similar to that. It is it. It is. Not easy. It is very difficult.
”
Bezos had previously been criticized for not signing the “grant pledge”, a campaign launched by Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett, to encourage billionaires to donate most of their wealth in charitable works.
Bezos stepped down from his position as CEO of “Amazon” last year, to allocate more time to charitable work and other projects. He pledged ten billion dollars to combat climate change as part of his “Bezos Ground Ball Fund” initiative, and also provided 510.
7 million dollars to private societies last year.
Last Saturday, Bezos and Sanchez announced a $ 100 million grant for singer Dolly Barton, whose activity is always paid in the charitable field that helped go out with our anti -Corona Moder vaccine.
