Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced that he is giving away his $124 billion fortune.

Bezos revealed this in a sit-down interview with CNN. He said he plans to donate the majority of his net worth to charities during his lifetime, and these funds will be dedicated towards fighting climate change, as well as supporting people who can help to heal political and social divisions.

When asked if he intends to donate the majority of his wealth within his lifetime, Bezos said "Yeah, I do.

Without providing further details, Bezos said he and partner journalist-turned-philanthropist Lauren Sanchez were "building the capacity to be able to give away this money".

The billionaire has committed $10 billion to fight climate change and protect nature through the Bezos Earth Fund, where he is the executive chair.

Speaking alongside his partner, Lauren Sánchez, from his Washington DC home, Bezos added:

"The hard part is figuring out how to do it in a levered way.

“It’s not easy. Building Amazon was not easy. It took a lot of hard work, a bunch of very smart teammates, hard-working teammates, and I’m finding — and I think Lauren is finding the same thing — that charity, philanthropy, is very similar."

He should start by providing a fair working environment and proper remuneration for his workers.

An average man needs food and shelter, provide that one first....
