Jeff Bezos plans to give away most of his $124bn (£110bn) fortune, he has told CNN.
The Amazon founder, 58, is the world's second-richest man after Elon Musk, the Tesla boss and new owner of Twitter, according to Forbes.Mr Bezos has been criticised in the past for not signing the Giving Pledge, a campaign founded by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to encourage the mega rich to contribute most of their wealth to charity.He said the money would go to causes that work to tackle climate change and to support people who can unify humanity.
It was announced a week ago at the start of the COP27 summit that his Bezos Earth Fund had pledged $1bn by 2030 to help protect carbon reserves and biodiversity.
