Amazon founder Jeff Bezos pledged to donate the majority of his wealth to charity. Here’s how he currently spends his $122 billion fortune, from giant underground clocks to space exploration.

But since stepping down from Amazon, the billionaire has mostly focused on personal passion projects and pet causes.

Bezos stepped down as Amazon CEO in mid-2021 and moved into the role of executive chair of the Amazon Board. He plans to focus on new products and early initiatives.

“As Exec Chair I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions. I’ve never had more energy, and this isn’t about retiring,” Bezos wrote to employees at the time. “I’m super passionate about the impact I think these organizations can have.”
