Jeff Bezos donates $100MILLION to the Obama foundation and asks him to rename the plaza at his Chicago presidential center after late Congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis
|
 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Amazon founder and owner of the Washington Post Jeff Bezos donated a whopping $100 million to the Obama Foundation, the largest ever to the charity.
As part of the gift, Bezos asked the plaza at the Obama Presidential Center be renamed John Lewis Plaza, after the late congressman and civil rights leader who spent decades fighting for voting rights.
Bezos, one of the world's richest men, has made a series of high-profile donations since stepping down as CEO of Amazon in July, in addition to self-funding his brief jaunt into space on his Blue Origin rocket. Last week, he pledged almost $100 million to groups working to end homelessness.
In September, standing alongside climate envoy John Kerry, Bezos pledged $1 billion from his coffers to fight climate change through the Bezos Earth Fund foundation.
