These funds include the American Disability Association, America's Big Brothers, Freedom Prep Charter Schools and much more. The announcement coincided with an interview Bezos gave to CNN with his new wife, Lauren Sánchez, in which he said they were "building the capacity to distribute this money." “The hard part is figuring out how to do it in a supported way,” Bezos said. "Setting up Amazon was not easy. It took a lot of hard work and very smart teammates. Me and Lauren also find that philanthropy is very similar. Not easy. It is really hard" he added.
Jeff Bezos said yesterday that he wanted to stand out with his donations. We will see if Bezos, who started donations like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, will remain in the shadow of his ex-wife in this context.
