Jack Dorsey to donate $1 billion to fund COVID-19 relief and other charities
Jack Dorsey, the CEO of both Twitter and digital payments platform Square, said on Tuesday that he will donate $1 billion worth of equity in Square to his Start Small Foundation to fund COVID-19 relief around the world. Dorsey made the announcement in a tweet, revealing that the sum equates to roughly 28 percent of his current net worth, or about $3.6 billion. The announcement marks the most significant philanthropic effort from the 43-year-old tech executive in his career.

Whoa! He isn’t as loaded as other CEO’s. This is a pretty big gesture .
He’s so handsome. And rich. He has it all.
Tax write off and show off
Gtfo
Life must be miserable with your outlook.
I would says Bezos and Zuck need to step the fuck up. He's doing way more proportionally than the two of them. Bezos has more money than he can deal with. If he gave 28% of his wealth (25B) he'd still have over 92B. It's a joke that he's only donated 100M and FB has only donated 20M.
God damn I wish square paid more. Had an offer from them and atlassian but atlassian paid 40% more. Really wanted to work for square and admire jack a lot
I've heard that Jack is a really awesome CEO and it totally worth working with him.
Papa Jeff didn’t get that rich giving away his money for free. He made money squeezing the pennies out of minimum wage workers. You think those charities are getting a dime more out of him?
No one at Amazon makes minimum wage.
Until 2018 (while Bezos was building his wealth), people at working at warehouses in different locations were getting paid less than $10 an hour. If that doesn’t mount to minimum wage then I dunno what does.
I knew that Jack Dorsey were not that interested in money in the first place. Look at his companies. They are not very aggressive making money.
Twitter will soon. Square is making money. They are long term focused so the Cash App is turning out well.
No one noticed but Twitter is highly profitable. Not as big but who cares.
He is awesome! Makes me want to go work for him.
Good guy jack.
Awesome example has been set. Let’s see other ceos step up now !
Fucking bezos should learn
