#2Great, but for context, if your net worth were $300,000, this would be the same as donating a dollar.
Edit: my math is wrong as hell and I was being way too cynical. Sorry folks.

It would still be better than doing nothing with that money.

Well, no, because an organization can do a lot more with 33 million dollars than they can with just one of them.

33 million dollars buys more tuition than one dollar.
What, he's worth billions so he's gotta give a cool bil or it's pocket change?
33 million dollars is a shitload of cash for a donation, I'm pretty sure MSF wouldn't mind a 33 million dollar donation. They basically cry every GDQ event and thank people for 10 minutes straight. That's for ~1 mil.
33 million dollars buys a lot of books, a lot of stupid TI calculators, etc.

Because as we all know: the important thing with charity is how much you suffer, not how much they benefit.

what purpose does this comment have? You think society shouldn't praise these acts because relative to the donors' worth they're not that "grand"? how does this perspective help anyone?

I get a figure of $3000 instead of what you wrote. But I think you wanted to make the amount seem pathetic. Not sure why.

For some additional context, $33M will fund 1,000 college scholarships. That's 1,000 lives changed for the better - I would love to have that impact on the world.

Fair point. I don’t have a strong argument but this seems to be another in a series of puff pieces about Bezos following on the stories about Amazon employees living on food stamps.
I don’t think this is newsworthy or meaningful.
With that said, I appreciate the downvotes and will try to appreciate the positive effects of this despite my obvious cynicism.
