Jeff Bezos announced on February 2 that he would step down as CEO of Amazon. In the ad, he signaled that he would pursue his “other passions”, which include the Day 1 Fund, Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin and The Washington Post. Well, it’s good to have hobbies!
The real urgent question, however, is what Bezos will do with all that money. Forbes it estimates its net worth at around US $ 193.2 billion at the close of trading on February 8, although it is possible that it has increased since the writing of this article. That’s more money than most people’s brains can process! For example, last year, Bezos’ ex-wife Mackenzie Scott donated $ 4 billion in four months – and her net worth is just $ 60 billion by comparison.
Anyway, here are some suggestions on how Bezos can spend his money if he is too busy with his other commitments to come up with ideas on his own. In all cases, we round down, leaving Bezos with at least a hundred million dollars to live his own life – I don’t expect him to be uncomfortable.
