According to new figures, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, has given less of his wealth to charities than Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or even Donald Trump.
The richest man in the world, who is currently divorcing his wife MacKenzie for 25 years, has donated only 0.0906% of his considerable wealth, according to public records.
Bezos, 55, gave a tiny slice of his $ 160 billion – $ 145 million fortune – to help charities, reports the New York Post.
This puts the mogul behind Bill and Melinda Gates who gave 37% of their fortune and Warren Buffet who gave 36% of his fortune.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy, based in Washington, says Microsoft's founder, Gates, is the most generous philanthropist in the United States.
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and his wife Priscilla Chan gave 4%, and even President Trump donated 3% of his $ 3 billion fortune.

The CEO of Amazon, Bezos, on the right, is now in connection with the former TV host Lauren Sanchez
Earlier this month, Bezos, who also runs private exploration firm Blue Origin and owns the Washington Post newspaper, announced he would divorce his 25-year-old wife MacKenzie on Twitter.
The post arrived one day before her eight-month romance with Lauren Sanchez was revealed.
Their divorce should make MacKenzie, a 48-year-old novelist, the richest woman in the world after the two men did not sign a pre-nup deal entitling her to half of her huge fortune in 140 billion dollars.
Sources say that he is now planning to move in with his new girlfriend, Lauren, and that they are "very together".
The parent company of Bezos created the Bezos Family Foundation in 2000, but until 2017, Bezos paid just under $ 6 million to the group.
In 2013, Brad Stone's book, The Everything Store, indicated that Amazon employees did not even receive subsidized meals in the company's cafeterias.
Amazon has been criticized in Seattle, Washington, for doing nothing to address the problems of the growing homeless population.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan gave 4% of their $ 54 billion worth of wealth.
The figures show that President Donald Trump, left, donated 3% of his $ 3 billion fortune, while the former mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, right, has given 13%.
In the photo, Warren Buffett came second after Bill and Melinda Gates in the numbers, which shows that he gave 36% of his wealth.
His charitable efforts seem to have accelerated since he gave $ 33 million to fund scholarships for "dreamers", the name given to undocumented immigrant children who face legal obstacles to go to college or at the university.
He also donated $ 10 million to a group called With Honor, which helps veterans get into politics and has donated nearly $ 100 million to charities for the homeless.
In September, he launched the Bezos Day One fund, which will help homeless families and open crèches in low-income communities.
Bezos, which has homes in Seattle, Washington, DC, Texas and Beverly Hills, California, made an initial $ 2 billion commitment to the philanthropic fund.
But if this number seems impressive in reality, it represents only 1.2% of its estimated net value.
