Amazon donated $69, to the Australian fire, and Bezos was accused of not being generous enough.

According to foreign media reports, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, announced today that Amazon will donate 1 million Australian dollars (about 69, US dollars) for forest fire rescue in Australia. Many people said that Bezos' donation of only $69, was not generous enough.

As the richest man in the world and the founder and CEO of Amazon, Bezos announced today that he will donate 1 million Australian dollars for forest fire rescue in Australia, mainly for needed materials and services. In this regard, many people pointed out that many personal wealth is far less than Bezos' celebrities, but their donations are not lower than Bezos'.

For example, Marvel Comics star Chris Hemsworth has a net worth of $76 million, but his donation to Australia is equivalent to that of Amazon. Pink, a singer with a fortune of $57 million, promised to donate $5,.

In addition, billionaire Kylie Jenner donated $1 million, actress Bette Midler donated as much as Pink, and the rock band Metallica donated more than $5,.

In fact, Bezos seems to have never been very generous. For years, Bezos refused to sign the Giving Pledge. Although widely criticized by the industry, he only donated a small part of his wealth.

In contrast, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other rich people have signed the "Giving Pledge", and even his ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos promised to give half of her $35 billion assets, or at least $17 billion, during her lifetime or after her death.

Of course, Bezos announced the establishment of "Day One Fund" in 218, and Bezos and his wife Mackenzie will invest $2 billion in the fund to help the homeless and create kindergartens.
