CTOnews.com, November 23 (Xinhua)-- Amazon founder Jeff Jeff Bezos announced through a social platform that he has recently made 40 donations totaling $123 million (about 878 million yuan) to deal with homelessness in the United States, according to CNN local time on November 22.

Bezos announced on Instagram on Tuesday that he recently made 40 donations totaling $123 million as part of a $2 billion commitment to combat homelessness in the United States as part of his Bezos Day 1 Families Fund fund initiative in 2018.

CTOnews.com learned that Bezos revealed in an interview with CNN last week that he plans to donate most of his $124 billion net worth in his lifetime. He said he would devote most of his wealth to tackling climate change and support those who can unite humanity in the face of deep social and political differences, marking the first time the billionaire has announced plans to donate most of his wealth. Critics have previously accused Bezos of not signing a "donation pledge", a pledge signed by hundreds of the world's richest people to donate most of his wealth to charity.

After CNN's interview with Bezos, his ex-wife McKinsey Scott announced that she would donate another $2 billion to various organizations. In less than a year, Scott has given away nearly $4 billion to 465 organizations.
