The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos is planning to give away most of his massive fortune which is a staggering £110 billion ($124 billion).
Recall that Bezos is the second richest man in the world after Elon Musk. He runs a private space company Blue Origin.
According to CNN, he plans to give away most of his £110 billion ($124 billion) fortune soon.
The billionaire has always avoided questions about what he will do with his money, but told the American news channel he will give most of it away during his lifetime.
The bulk of his wealth will go to fighting climate change and, the report says, supporting people who can unify humanity in the face of deep social and political divisions.
Many people have queried why Bezos hasn’t signed up to the Giving Pledge – a promise made by extremely wealthy people (like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet) to give away their cash.
Instead, it seems like Bezos wants to go it alone.
Speaking in an exclusive interview to CNN alongside his partner Lauren Sánchez, Bezos explained the couple is ‘building the capacity to be able to give away this money.
