A “heartbroken” Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are putting their money where their mouth is.
The wealthy couple has pledged to donate a whopping $100 million to Maui as wildfires disseminate the Hawaiian island.
“We are thinking of all the families that have lost so much and a community that has been left devastated,” Bezos, 59, and Sánchez, 53, said in a joint statement on Instagram Friday.
“The immediate needs are important, and so is the longer term rebuilding that will have to happen — even after much of the attention has subsided.”
The Amazon CEO and former broadcaster said they created a Maui Fund and are dedicating $100 million to help get the island “back on its feet now and over the coming years as the continuing needs reveal themselves.”
Several people, including celebrities, took to the comments section of the post to congratulate the pair for their generosity.
Katy Perry commented, “this is it ♥️
