The world's fourth-wealthiest person has come under fire for what critics have said is a lack of philanthropic focus, an issue thrown into sharp relief by the charitable activities of his ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott, who divorced Bezos in 2019 and is worth almost $24 billion. Unlike many other of the world's richest people — including Scott — Bezos hasn't signed the Giving Pledge, a promise to donate most of one's wealth to charity.
He added,"There are a bunch of ways that I think you could do ineffective things, too. So you have to think about it carefully and you have to have brilliant people on the team."
