[Jeff Bezos has revealed plans to give away
most of his $124bn (£110bn) fortune during his lifetime. The Amazon founder, 58, is the world's second-richest man after Elon Musk, the Tesla boss and new owner of Twitter, according to Forbes. This is the first time he has said he plans to give away most of his money. Mr Bezos has been criticised in the past for not signing the Giving Pledge, a campaign founded by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to encourage the mega rich to contribute most of their wealth to charity. Asked directly by CNN whether he planned to give most of his money away, Mr Bezos said: "Yeah, I do."] https://news.sky.com/story/amazon-fo...-away-12747415 He can afford to. |

You can only spend so much money in your lifetime.
You will find more happiness in giving it to good causes. |

There was this guy who spent about £8m buying a lake. First of all the lake belongs to nature so he was made a mug of there. ![]() And secondly, imagine what joy he could have brought to poor. Millions of people could have benefitted from just that £8m. I'd get a massive joy out of that. ![]() |

I'd like to think if I had that kind of money and opportunity to do good, that I'd at least try. Obviously though Birmingham City and the PlayStation are coming first. ![]() ![]() But seriously I'm glad that Bezos might do some good.
