Now you know this guy is one of the richest people in the world, right?

Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos is getting slammed for what some people say for being "too cheap."

Bezos only donated $690,000 to the Australian bushfire disaster. He makes that kind of money in less than 5 minutes.

Let's put it into perspective.

Metallica donated $750,000.

Kylie Jenner donated $1,000,000 and she's worth several billions less.

Put it this way. If Amazon did “Australian Wildfires Day” and donated all revenue from a single day of sales, they would raise almost 1,000 TIMES the amount of Bezos’s donation.

Is he being too cheap or should we be appreciative that he at least donated something?
