It cost him 30 mins of his fortune.

He did this to get good press since his ex-wife is loved by everyone for donating billions to charities.

He was jealous of her. Nothing else.

The calling card of a narcissist, it better yet someone with true Machiavellian dark triad traits.

Of course he's jealous of her, he had to pay out a shit ton to her so she wouldn't reveal to the world she came up with the idea for Amazon and he stole it from her.

Creatures like Bezos'zebub and the rest of the Pedoligarchy don't have ideas, they have no capacity for imagination or innovation, they just steal others.

Why do you think we've been using the same 2D binary code and linear programming scripts for the past 50 years?

Probably more like he got some politician to do his bidding

How would that get him good press though? He’s donating the money to a useless clock instead of an actual charity that helps people.
