World’s richest man and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was recently criticised on social media by Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party in the UK followed by netizens soon after the businessman announced his donation of $98.5 million to 32 organisations across 23 states of the USA to help homeless families.

Corbyn in his tweet pointed out that the amount of Bezos’ latest donation represents only “0.09%” of the billionaire’s net worth. He further suggested him to pay his taxes instead. 

Soon after Corbyns’s tweet went viral many others took to Twitter to criticise Bezos for the same.

The U.K. Labour party leader has frequently criticized Bezos and Amazon over the company’s low tax bills in the past, including sending the company a sarcastic birthday card for Amazon’s 25th anniversary in July.

In the card, Corbyn wished Amazon “many happy tax returns” while insisting that the company should pay higher U.K. taxes.

“You owe the British people millions in taxes that pay for the public services that we all rely on,” Corbyn wrote in the letter.
