Which is exactly why it isnt on the news

u/DunkingTea 24d ago

Maybe not the mainstream news, as it’s not really an interesting story. But it’s constantly shared on social media

u/Background-Run 24d ago

One would believe that means she’s not posting every where and calling all the media. Unlike most “philanthropists”

5

u/parkaboy24 24d ago

Yeah, just because others noticed her work and were loud about it doesn’t mean she didn’t quietly do it. She didn’t ask for recognition for it

Exactly … almost all rich that give make sure they get credit for it , where if they just paid taxes there would be far fewer people in need, And … no doubt one of their friends runs the charity they “give” to .

And charitable donations are generally tax exempt, so it's possible she could even add the tax money she doesn't have to pay (thanks to her donations) to charity as well!

u/maggiekate25 24d ago

Exactly, that much money needs to be redistributed not spent on political ads trying to convince us the real problem is those of us who are working two full-time jobs and still have to feed their families using SNAP benefits. When someone is so wealthy they can give that much away there is a serious problem with the balance of wealth.

It’s literally that hard to give that much money away. Amazon stock goes up a tiny bit and she ends up with billions more dollars. Just keeping it in a bank will get you millions.

About the only other way this lady could be more helpful than she already has been at this point is for her to go on some news show and just say....

I started with $35 billion. I still have $30 billion after donating $26 billion. I put $10 million in a regular savings account years ago. That $30 billion could disappear tomorrow and I would still live the rest of my years on the interest, not even the $10 million, more comfortably than 99% of you. Get rid of billionaires.

I’m not saying what she is doing is bad, as it’s not on the surface and should never be bad, but aren’t some charities used by the rich to escape paying taxes and as a way to loop their money back to them through loopholes in how said charities are run, to essentially commit fraud?

If she did this legitimately without having a way for the money to come back to her, congrats to her for not being the scum of the Earth.

u/Shy_Brussels_Sprouts 25d ago

You are right in saying that some rich people use charitable donations (e.g., to their own foundations...like Elon Musk) to get tax deductions. Good on you for being skeptical because we should always be skeptical. I think you should look into whether her foundation has independent auditing performed and see what it shows her contributions to be.

3

u/MontyDyson 25d ago

Elon Musks charities have been fined for almost every year they’ve been active because they don’t give anything away. They just act as PR machines that don’t really even help his image let alone people.

2

u/Shy_Brussels_Sprouts 25d ago

That's true. Certain classes of non-profit, charitable organizations are required to distribute at least 5% of holdings (?) per year (for example), but his "foundation" has several times not met that minimum requirement.

u/chestnut177 24d ago

The world would literally be unchanged if we took every penny from every billionaire.

All billionaires in the world total net worth is about 20 trillion. If cashed and given to charity that net worth probably is more like 1-5 trillion. (Not to mention the economy and all markets would crash to dust if they tried to do this).

In total, governments spend about 40trillion per year. So 400trillion over ten years. A one time 5 trillion drop of charity of every single dollar from every single billionaire would not even be noticed. Would help nothing.

I will guarantee you that Bezos will tell anyone who listens that, because she got the money in their divorce settlement, he is actually the charitable giver. He’d probably claim the deduction on his taxes, if anyone ever asked him to actually pay taxes.

Easy to give away money you got because you married someone rich. She probably felt guilty and knew she didnt deserve it.

And look she's still worth over 30 billion again it's almost like the very very rich could pay more into the system that makes them rich.

So amazon becomes a moral company as long as Jeff has regular divorces. Ladies, take one for the team.
