Re: only SOME of the 28 mill is going to charity?
The money is going to Blue Origin, not Jeff Bezos personally.
Building and testing and launching the rocket wasn't free. It was an investment made in the hope of making money by selling tickets in future. Like the way every other startup company works.
28 million is actually not that much compared to how much has already been invested in this.
Be thankful that some of the money is going to charity. Don't begrudge the company it's revenue.
