‘I have a little surprise for you’: Jeff Bezos announces $100 million award for leaders who ‘aim high’
Jeff Bezos followed up his suborbital rocket trip with the news that he’s handing out $100 million each to two men who he said “aim high.”
Bezos said the Courage and Civility Award “recognizes leaders who aim high and who pursue solutions with courage and who always do so with civility.” A recent investigation by ProPublica found that Bezos and Musk are among several billionaires who have paid relatively little in federal income taxes. “This may be a good day for Jeff Bezos, but it’s a sad reminder of just how far our country has fallen,” said Stephen Prince, vice president of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of wealthy people who advocate for higher taxes on the rich.
