that dude sitting next to him will aquire it somehow
You. Are. Hilarious.
Omg, lol
Wait she/he is a man/woman !? I’m soo lost . 🫤
@@jmzz4mrlz597 everyone worth over 100M gotta get the tranny. It’s something in their water.
🤦🏽♂️😂
The wife who clearly loves him no matter what is thinking “ STFU that’s half my s**t you are talking about.
If you're referring to his ex-wife she got paid 66 billion... I don't think she's crying about how much money she made
@@toxichammertoe8696 I was talking about the new one sitting beside him. Yes the ex did ok 😂.
Her love is genuine not love of his money. She fell in love with his bald head.
@@toxichammertoe8696how could a court ever justify that lol. That’s insane
😂😂😂
That woman next to him was thinking, I’ll have me some of those billions 😂
You mean man
How about pay your employees a little more
Yes
right he rather just give away the money then give people $10 more an hour
he hasn't worked at Amazon for years genius
Because that hurts the stock price which is what his net worth is from
@@CPATuttle Why care about net worth if he wants to give it away anyway. Why not help people in need now?
They never give it away. They transfer it to their own foundation for the deduction and continue to spend it on themselves
They do pledge it to their own charity foundation, so that income becomes non-taxable and then they MAY donate 1% of it, keep the rest. This is just one of the ways they avoid paying taxes.
Spot on Bro.....We need more people like you telling the truth
That is true but who are we to tell em what to do with their money? The fact that we're always expecting others to give away their wealth while we hold onto ours is the problem
@@testing6753 he supports Genocide fewl
@@testing6753 The problem is that they're making public announcements about it in holding press conferences... If you were to go around and tell people hey I'm giving my money away it would sound absolutely pathetic and ridiculous.... There's no difference with this Bezos except for he has billions of dollars... He sounds ridiculous and pathetic
I spent a LOT of years working in private home health care for very wealthy families and these people never give their money away. They create foundations and their families and friends are on the boards and they pay themselves and each other and take "work trips" which are just deductible family vacations. They give away 10% in a generous year. I literally had foundations pay me to take care of their elderly family members in multimillionaire families. They just move all the assets away from that person in the family.
Revelation is the only way, no violence,other wise we are like them,no just take all their money off them,!
How do you do that without violence genius!😂
@@marylou3995that’s what the Bolsheviks said (before they killed 60 million of my people)
Translation don’t be a moron
Finally someone with a brain in the comments that’s exactly how it works. Foundations and trusts to avoid paying taxes on money you ALREADY paid tax on when you made it. I mean I’m doing whatever I want with my money so why shouldn’t everyone else too. The death tax is like 50 percent I think so, you die the government get half your stuff like a bad divorce then your kids can have what’s left just because you died. That’s crazy why not set up a trust and have it all there so it don’t get taxed OVER AND OVER, you already paid income tax on it.
@@marylou3995yea thieving to spend it all on yourself. Makes sense. You’re just as selfish 🤡
A “plandemic” didn’t hurt either Mr. “Went from $100 billion to $200 billion in a single year.”
From 179b 2020 to 201b 2021. Not shocking given how popular Amazon was in the midst of a shut down economy 😂 you sound like a Trumpster
@@hitthurdeaux huh
@@hitthurdeaux - what’s a “Trumpster”?
Is that the opposite of an “I voted for an invalid and a cackling idiot who have run this country into the ground in every measurable way and I’m raising cuckoo liberal kids who protest on campuses because presently they won’t have to pay the ultimate price for their stupidity but when all hell finally breaks loose I’m going to run to my conservative friends for food, shelter, and protection because I’m a weak, pathetic, emotionally unstable and mentally ill individual”?
Just curious
conspiracy theories will forever exist, and we won't know for sure before 2070, or in any case; EVER...
It might have been planned, it might also have not been planned. It could have been an accident, it could have been a planned warfare strategy by any country. (remember, it hit China first, at lightning speeds, so it could have been China, or it could have been any other country planting it there).
Theres so many different angles to view the pandemic from, that i myself, have just given that thought up.
Its over, its gone.
Were back to work. Don't sweat it.
Theres nothing we ordinary people could do about this anyways, since corruption is a certain thing in any country...
And if there is something we could do, tell me, and i might tell you how that wont work, or consider it myself. Its an Either-Or.
@@hitthurdeauxso he sounds like an intelligent person unaffected by slave mind?
That new wife can spend that money just give her time
Just give her a couple of years more like!
Designer clothes,shoes, handbags, face lifts, breast enlargement , pedicures manicures, personal trainers.
@tonyadams8812
That wife was a pilot and owns multiple businesses and makes her own money. I’ll put all my money on you than on her when it comes to who would blow there money first.
Gates told him he would give up all his money as well, but look what he's doing now.😂
Yup! I commented the same thing!!
Give your employees at Amazon a real wage! How about $30 an hour instead of your $15
Why would he do that when he could buy another trip to space
but will you not complain when they raise prices for everything you buy on Amazon?
He hasn't worked at Amazon in almost 3 years now.
What you talking about? Do you have any idea of how economy works??
@@Will-jg2zsYou missed the point. He could double salaries for 10yrs and only lose a small fraction of his fortune. This would have no impact on costs or profits. Now if Amazon itself were to raise wages then yes, this would result in higher prices to compensate for higher wages.
Meanwhile Amazon employees are on food stamps!!!
Have you worked there? I have. A bunch of mo, Ron’s with zero skills and can’t handle their job properly. Everyone wants more money can’t even read properly 😂
Is that down to working in Amazon or down to Joe bidens economy?
Don’t like…. Quit
But definitely quit your bitchin
That's a lie
If they weren’t on food stamps, they wouldn’t be coming to work
He might want to spend a few billion on trying to fix Lauren’s rubberized face.
In a lifetime....? Our government practically spends that daily.
Start PAYING your employees properly! FACTS. 💯
What’s ur pay rate 😂
Bro, at the local amazon depot where i live they're paid £18 per hour
It's crazy that I tried 5x to ask Amazon drivers in front of my house if any packages came here instead of my address and they couldn't have a moment to answer me .
I ended up having 2 majorly important packages (Dr prescribed meds and a birthday gift from my dearest Friend )
sent to Amazon hubs instead of my mailbox without any notification because I #BOYCOTTAMAZON!!!!
That's a bunch of $$$ and health lost to a multi millionaire who can't afford to give their workers one moment to check where the packages went.
God bless the USPS workers!
Orrrrrr the employees can learn better skills to make more.
Exactly, pay you're employee's much more money, stupid Bezos liar 🤡
Ha ha his wife won't let that happen.
You mean the joker?
@@EBOVyut no i mean Bezos' wife
When he said "Amazon took a lot of hard work" , I heard "Amazon took a lot of other people's hard work".
It all started with him though
Pat felt the "BS Meter" had runeth over.
Just because he is worth $124billion does mean he has that to spend. If he sold his stock in Amazon it would break the company. In fact everytime he sells his shares it affects the price of the stock
His new wife's face, looks like its going to melt. How do you leave McKenzie for this?
Dang what happened to her face 😮
He batting for the other team now and his new wife has the extra equipment needed 😂
Blow jobs on demand is very powerful
McKenzie p O s
McKenzie left him i believe and she wasn't exactly beautiful in objective terms
The look on that prospector's face😂 fancy way of calling his girlfriend a gold digger for everybody who wouldn't have gotten that😂
"It’s not easy giving my money way." What? Fathers Day’s is coming up and I’d like the new Z06.
Maybe He should contact Consultants/ experts that will help him build basic amenities for majority of the population that need it
It’s easy to give it away but hard to find a charity that won’t squander it.
I’m getting major joker vibes off his chick
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the same tack Gates did!!!!
Even if he donates it all wont he get most back from claiming it on his taxes
No. You don’t get a refund if you have negative income and you can’t carry deductions forward. At most, he’d be able to offset his income for that year.
Deductions for donations aren’t that great either. He lives in Florida now, so he doesn’t pay state income tax. He’d only get a deduction worth 37% of what he donates.
@@kungfoochicken08 they get a percentage back but they also have their own charities which is who the donation usually goes to and since its their charity guess who really gets most of that money also they get a bunch of tax breaks for donating its all a scam to make people think they are such great people when really its just a way they get to keep their money!!! Because no one would just give all their money away and if they did they should be put into mental institution because they would have to be crazy
That's human greed
Nah’ just ambition
@@Jack-vo6bu that's the name for it now different words but same meaning
@@user-le2dl5up1dHis greed allows me to order toilet paper and have it delivered for free the next day.
The phone you’re on, the road you drive on, the car you ride in, the clothes you wear, and the anal lube your boyfriend uses were all built by greed. The world would fall apart if it were run by lazy people like you who are content if their bills are paid at the end of the month.
you're lazy lmaooo
Absolutely do not give your money away. The people who want your money want to waste it. Use your money to build things that people in the next generation can't even comprehend
this is the correct answer
Glad to see Blake finally hooked up
Definition of trophy wife is that woman’s face. Donating money is such an insane waste tho 😂
How about paying your employees a living wage like Costco 🤔🤔.
Its a no brainer. I heard bad things about working for amazon
They have to work
Watch the wife’s smile go away when he says “ya I do” 😂😂
He can do whatever he wants with his money! He earned it so it is what it is! Why do Americans think rich people should give their money away all the sudden?
because he funds Israel Fewl
So it’s reasonable for a man to have 300 billion in wealth when there are people around the world with limited access to clean water and food shortages? Your not a good person then
He didn't earn the money, he got lucky. Big difference.....
😮😮😮😮😮
Build houses for the homeless. That would be a good start.
true, combined with schools, sports centers. people are the biggest leverage.
Except he funds homelessness.
That doesn’t do anything unfortunately, you have to do root cause analysis on all of these socioeconomic issues and simply throwing money at them to build houses or schools doesn’t treat the source/s of the issue
@@suspecthighly9852 well what is the main issue homeless people have? possible it is the missing home. you can't fix the whole world to solve the underlying issues, this helps no one. imagine a doctor would say your problem is not that you are bleeding, it is that humans aren't immortal.
Yea they would absolutely treat it with respect for sure…
HARD!!?? POVERTY EVERYWHERE that he can help... how can it be hard.
CHILDREN STARVING,
ELDERLY COLD & HUNGRY,
VETERANS HOMELESS.
People like this descust me thst they don't know how to give Money 😒 away.
You imagine being that girl next to him.....She understood the value of what she is sitting on.....well played young lady.
Why aren't they helping the homeless and veterans, I never here them talk about that. Better benefits for employees.
who says they're not?
Veterans already get enough. I was raised in a military town. I know an uncomfortable number of veterans who did 4 years and now get a disability check for $3,000+ for the rest of their life. One of my employees gets a disability check for his knees and his wife gets a check for “taking care of him.” He installs flooring. There’s not a damn thing wrong with his knees. He gets free healthcare for life too.
Good start would be building toilet facilities for workers in Amazon warehouse
Lmao I've built an Amazon, the bathrooms are amazing. Toilet paper holders are a little too close for your leg and they turn up the heat so you don't hang around 😆. But very nice facilities
@robbie.sunshine yeah I've heard soda bottles are very nice to piss in
imagine being this brainwashed
@@petarfoxImagine being a man and being upset about pissing in a bottle. You act like you don’t have a piss jug sitting by your computer
I think the problem is knowing which organizations are honest and which are simply embezzling funds into their own pockets.
@@mathewdeu3328 still happens pretty often
If I had that much money I would put it all on black and risk it all or nothing.
Donate it to your employees, without them you’re nothing!
without him those employees are homeless
@NewSmithsonian I see you are going from comment to comment defending Amazon, any chance you are related to Bezos
@@NewSmithsonian Tell me you don’t know how business works without telling me. Mass profits heavily depend on work force + cheap labor, in order to scale, not the other way around.
@@elyorish no really?
for someone who claims to know anything about business you seem to not understand what makes someone economically valuable
any idiot with a pulse can work for amazon. only a genius with a maniacal work ethic can build it.
there is no amazon without Bezos. there's billions of grunts who can push boxes around
@@petarfox he's right though. All of those employees are just that, employees lol
He stole it anyway
How did he steal it
Braindead people like you think he stole it 😂
@@connorduffy8620 dollar store merchandise sold like it’s from Tiffany’s. Price gouging during Covid. Anything else? Waiter….check please
@@connorduffy8620 dollar store merchandise. Covid price gouging. The Sons of Abraham do whateve rthye want. Oh and daddy had money
@@connorduffy8620 he didnt steal anything. This commenter you replied too just doesnt want to work and thinks that everyone more successful than him are "lucky"
Satan would rather flush wealth down the toilet, then give it to that people that created their empire
He could give it to the government. They will dispose of it in no time.
The sun doesn't wake the stones but the living
-the Enlightened one
Sir, i just need like 2.5 million, and I'll take it from there thank you😊
The problem is is he will give it to already wealthy people
Let’s make this easy on everyone, just donate 100% of it to me
Dude doesn’t even have shame enough to fake pledge/donate this amount of money to these organizations or people. He could single handily develop homeless communities in every metropolis!!! But things are hard
Imagine bringing someone on tv to ask them how they plan to spend their money.
What the hell us that sitting next to him...?
He can start with compensating his workers adequately
then pay your employees a living wage
and treat your employees like human
She was like, I BETTER GET HALF BEFORE HE GIVES THIS CASH AWAY....😂
We literally need to put a cap on these billionaires. $100Billion boom you won the game of life that's it congratulations lol.
"You are too successful. We need to punish you for that." Classic communist logic.
It’s not like it’s gold coins sitting in a vault. His wealth is tied to his Amazon stock. If he sells, he loses control over his company and the stock price tanks.
It's my understanding that giving in a responsible manner looks different to everyone give and everyone receiving.
Imagine being so rich you could give away more money than the government has.
He look at him like, lemme eat you now and your money will be mine. Theres no need to donate it to others😂
In other words, “It’s not easy to structure it in a way so I can pay less taxes”
You could pay your employees more and make it an attractive place to work where people don't feel the need to unionize.
Why didn’t he just pay his employees a wage they can live on?
His new friend is sitting there thinking 🤔 OH I KNOW HOW TO SPEND THAT SHIT!!! And I can’t wait! 😝
For sure! That thing has a different kind of Plump&Meaty if you know what I mean! There won’t be any moist warm MeatyCurtains on your BeanBag!! Cause that things got a BeanBag of it’s own!😂
Apparently it actually is really hard to give away because most non-profit and charities are not built around efficiency of every dollar donated. They're not operated like a business, they're operated like a government organization. Some of them only 10 cent of every dollar you donate goes to the people the charity says they're trying to help. It is actually insane how inefficient they are.
What he is saying is how hard it is to make an impact with the money not literally giving it away
I’ll never understand people that say it’s difficult to spend.
Literally find 100 directors, give them 100bn and they’ll make 100 movies
Looking at current quality of movies, thats burning money and not spending.
Gifting can attract taxation on the receiver as well, it’s not as straightforward as we think
Give money to Palestine and start anti Aipac lobby put America first
No he’s actually pointing to the economic implications of dumping that much money onto a cause. That type of thing can ruin a small economy in the long run.
Maybe give 120 billion in making affordable houses and give rest to all the company employees
Still can’t buy his chick a proper face lift 😂
HIS WIFE !!?? Hell. Yea. Bro.
The poor and middle class seem to be more charitable and giving
💡To make a difference I disengage from businesses/products that don't align with my values. I choose to stop making them richer.
MINIMALISM SERVES ME WELL ❤
"We're building the capacity to give away this money..." Bwahahaha!!! That's some mealy mouthed language right there. He should go into politics. 😂😂😂
Why on earth would you give it to anyone besides your own family...? Seriously...
what he's really saying is that maximizing your tax advantages through philanthropy is a complicated and strategic process. if you don't already know, most wealthy people are heavily involved in philanthropy because of its tax benefits not necessarily because they are "giving" people
Why would he choose her with a surgically attached face
Why doesn’t he just pay his employees really well
Bhagavad-Gita 17.20 says that Jeff Bezos' statement is correct. Sure, you can just give the money away, but which kind of impact on the world will the donation make?
First of all, he doesn’t need to donate his money to anything if he doesn’t want to. Better to give than to receive yes, but putting people in the spot with that question makes people give out a fake answer.
And thats one hundred thousand ×
1 Million. To make 100 Billion Dollars. With a "B". Thats so insane.
To get people out of debt and become millionaires, just have one million people give one dollar to each person until they have a million dollars, and this way we help each other and we teach the value of giving with nothing attached except to help others. Now if they lose that money, they are on their own.
Its so difficult to give billions away
Maybe he could consider Amazon employees
He earned it! He can do what he wants with his earnings!
Here in arizona, I don't hear nothing good about working for that company and this man sitting on all the bucks ,o k
then don't work there bozo, not that hard to comprehend
Why not pay your employees a fair wage ?
His wife won’t be allowing him to do that! Lol
Give funds for cancer research and affordable treatment.
His girl face changed when she heard she wasnt the one getting his fortune
She’s praying for him to say I’ll give it all to her!!
All that money and he married to that man next to him? Damn the rich really are different and not in a good way.
Give every American 100 k. You can afford it. Imagine how much it would help people
Not giving it to the drivers and warehouse workers though. Why treat them like garbage while sitting on billions $. What a pos.
Why not pay your employees more.
That lady is the best he could do? Man I really am gonna die alone.
He should have denied the answer. He make his money through his hard work and he has no obligation to give it to the public
I think hes saying, its hard to give it away to the right people.
The way he saying it’s harder to give money away
