China Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Well, he'll still be Executive Chair on the Board. I know if I had that many billion dollars I'd be looking to cut back on my workload and enjoy life more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm right there with you. 24 years ago this guy was on his hands and knees in his garage putting books in boxes. Pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I respect so much about him - he never let that drive him away from innovating and taking tech to the next level. And his ex got half so only like $50B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I believe McKenzie got $35 billion from the divorce and has a total net worth now of like $60 billion, so she's doing alright. Last year she gave away $6 billion.

No Excuses Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jeff Bezos is a hero for anti-social dip****s like me who just wants to sit at home and be around no one else. Pandemic+Amazon really made me appreciate that physical retail is a huge waste of my time and shopping in my undies right before falling asleep kicks ass.

Long n Left Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If he’s looking for fun stuff to do with his free time, I’m willing to pick him up, drive him to Ashburn, and stage a military style coup, complete with kicking Dan right in the sack.

Mr. Sinister Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I have no idea what I'd do if I had 200billion. Probably nothing healthy, like moonlighting as a crime fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammajamma Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 dont think hes "taking a step back" or retiring,etc. if anything, he said hes about to start working even harder. looks like he's just done everything he can do with amazon, and wants to spend most of his time with blue origin (now that he's seen how much money spacex can make). hopefully there he can finally figure out how to give his workers a decent wage and health insurance for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nothing healthy, like moonlighting as a crime fighter. I'd try to build StarTram. Make SpaceX and Blue Origin look like chumps. Even it it doesn't work, I'd still have roughly $100 billion left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
