They do realize not all of that 127 billion he owns is liquid right? A net worth is simply the value of everything you own. Being the fact he owns a multi-billion dollar company, the amount that’s probably his is closer to 28-30 billion, and that’s not taking into account his houses, cars, or the fact his wife owns an large stake in the company. Besides you can complain all you want but chances are your using amazon for your Christmas shopping. No doubt about it.

Quit using all that fancy econ math. Just shout a catchy slogan — far more effective.

yeah exactly. they fucking hate the guy but refuse to use the most powerful weapon they have against him - their choices as a consumer. 99% of the people who upvote the anti-Bezos circle jerk still buy with amazon

Here is the difference. Jeff’s donation will be enough to change lives for the better. Your $40 won’t really do shit.

0.0906% of what?! That’s a shitweet

Of his income. Edit: Of his wealth. Emu point is still that it was obviously one of the two.

He’s counting his wealth, not his income. He makes around 1.6 million per year, but he owns shares in Amazon worth 100 billion dollars. He actually lost almost 10 billion dollars this year because of stock price fluctuations.
His reported 98.5 million in charitable donations at once is about 60 times his annual compensation.

You mean his $80k salary? Or his $1.6m benefits package? Math might be wrong here.

Wait.. do you guys actuallythink Bezos has hundreds of billions of dollars sitting in his personal checking account?
25
Not just that... These people don't even know the difference between net worth and yearly income.

they don't think squat

Net worth is not liquid worth you dense mother fucker!!!!

Yeah so Bezos and Zuckerburg don't have anything liquid on hand. Probably not much anyway. They go into debt to fund the lifestyle they want and then liquidate some of their wealth to make payments. I really doubt Jeff is walking around with more than a few million at any given time.

Someone else with a dumbass Samsung that doesn't allow a screenshot with at least 5 attempts and the volume bar in the top. Much more infuriating than anything a statist could mutter.

So the man gives away 100 million$ of his money and still gets no thanks, no sign of gratitude?...he didn’t really have to do that...
6
Ah yes, because all billionares store all their money in a Scrooge McDuck bank.

If you are just counting the hypothetical persons salary, and not the value of everything they own, 401K, etc, then you aren’t comparing the same thing.

Ah so the solution then is to make us all poor AND require we give 100% of our poverty to others.
Perfect.

These bullshit buzzwords like "wealth inequality" are starting to make me actually angry when I see them

Heres the problem. You donation and jeff besos donation have one thing in common, it enables people to take advantage of the you.

They just want his money but here’s the thing capitalism is a system that requires destruction if you build a better competitor you can make that much money

i absolutely hate the term wealth inequality. like, motherfucker, nobody is stopping you from making money

Didn’t realize we work our asses off just so that we can be guilted into giving it away for free.
You shouldn’t care about the pressure. My goal is to be successful so I can start a nonprofit. The point is that the government shouldn’t get involved.
