$10 billion climate change fund commitment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2020/11/16/bezos-climate-grants/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/

  That story only documents a $791M gift. The $10B is a fund he's dedicated but still owns. Obviously it's still almost a billion dollars, but well short of his ex's mark.

    Yeah it's certainly less. I would imagine Jeff is still working over full time at Amazon. Come back to this thread in 20 years. I bet Bezos will be the next Gates. Similar public perception (cut throat titan) and funds.

  I do wish we’d spend more time on spending from these funds and not the oft-hollow initial commitments. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/03/business/donor-advised-funds-tech-tax.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/03/business/donor-advised-fu...
