    Default Jeff Bezos is up to 190 billion.

    His ex is at 65 billion. She’s gonna pass Warren Buffet in a few months at this rate and he will cross 200.

    He’s within 30 years of being able to create an actual mcduck money pit of gold:





    My question is this. Given such absurd resources what is your passion project?

    Your limitless resources “The world needs this” project? Just giving it away to charity like the Red Cross or whatever it would vanish into the bottomless pit and be barely noticed long term. 200 billion is a lot. But how much is it if you’re trying to do something impossible like eliminate hunger? It wouldn’t cover the infrastructure needed to do that.


    So....what could you do to make a tangible difference you want to see if you actually liquidate most of that and get to work?

    Where do you even start?

    Also noteworthy Elon Musk surpassed Warren Buffett and Tesla stock has been absolutely exploding recently.

    I would just stop making money off amazon. Pay the workers a lot more and reduce the price of everything. Running it on a loss I could eat.

    Ending world hunger I've seen estimated at $11 billion per year...Bezos could actually do that... he has that LIQUID even.

    But feeding people isn't the cure...


    If you teach a man to fish vs give a man a fish

    You know how much food is wasted? I never believed we could feed everyone until I worked in the organic farming and produce industry. 2/3 of the produce you see on supermarket shelves gets thrown away.

    just looked it up...not that its a surprise. most of the starving countries in the world are in africa. They also still have like 10 kids a piece out there. Thats the problem. instead of building society theyre just ****ing.

    If I was Jeff Bezos - first I would unleash a fake pandemic created by the scientists at the lab I am funding in wuhan, then I would pay the media to crank up the fear surrounding the virus until people were begging to be locked in their homes, then I would tell the politicians I own to shut down all small businesses because of the virus (but let my website stay open obviously), then I would tell my media cronies to crank the fear up to 11 whenever any state dares to not shut down all businesses that compete with Amazon, then I would develop a drug that sterilizes folks and distribute it to the world under the guise of being a vaccine for the virus my lab created, then I would have my allies in the govt and media do the virus fearmonger routine during cold/flu season every single year until all brick and mortar business has ceased to exist, then I would retire to Epsteins pedophile island and spend the rest of my life worshipping owls and wearing creepy masks.
