Or he could have paid to keep 37.5 billion people from starving this year. (To death… did I mention to death? I’m pretty sure starving means you die.)

I won’t give you a massive list of what he could have done with that money… (But these guys did: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/jeff-bezos-space-flight-money-better-uses/) But you know. Let’s just say this year in particular there were a few things. And also: he could still DO them.

So, to help, we’ve added a special box to our website, GuiltMoney.org this week, just for Jeff. Go ahead Jeff, click and appease your guilt! (Oh wait, just one problem there…)

Guiltmoney.org is a humorous aggregator of places to donate your money to appease your guilt. With an abundance of #FirstWorldProblems, Katie has spent her life feeling philanthropically inadequate. Where do you start?? When do you stop?? There’s never enough you can do and never enough guilt you can feel for living a good life while others are suffering.
