Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announces he will give away his £105billion fortune

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has sensationally announced he will be giving away his £105 billion fortune to charities.

In an interview with CNN, the tycoon said he plans to donate the majority of his net worth to charities during his lifetime, with the bulk of his donations going towards fighting climate change.

When asked if he intends to donate much of his wealth during his lifetime, Bezos said: “Yeah, I do.” However, he said ‘it’s not easy’ to decide where the money will go.

Formerly the world’s richest man, Bezos said: “The hard part is figuring out how to do it in a levered way.”

Speaking from his home in Washington DC alongside his partner, Lauren Sánchez, Bezos said: “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.”
