Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez at The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Premiere in London
Mr Bezos revealed his plans after donating $100m to the country music star and philanthropist Dolly Parton to use for charitable causes. The move came after Mr Bezos and other entrepreneurs were criticised for spending vast amounts of money on trips into space instead of solving problems on Earth. Amazon had also been criticised in the past by its workers over its record on climate change.
On Sunday Mr Bezos gave Dolly Parton the Bezos Courage & Civility Award, which recognises leaders who "pursue solutions with courage and civility".
