Puck News is reporting that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos just donated an unreal $100 Million to the Obama Foundation.

Take it away Cardi B!

I mean really, what the heck is up with this move?

Bezos recently committed a whopping $100 million to the Barack Obama Foundation. The donation has been whispered about in politics and philanthropy circles over the last few months, and the Obama Foundation confirmed the news when I reached out last week. I'm told the $100 million was midwifed by Jay Carney, Bezos' political sherpa and the former Obama press secretary. Carney ran point for Bezos, and Obama eventually spoke directly with the Amazon C.E.O. earlier this year. The two are not close, but "have seen each other socially from time to time," Valerie Jarrett, the Obama family's longtime aide-de-camp told me.

The gift, the largest single donation ever made to the Foundation, has no restrictions on its use.

Obama and Bezos right now:

I mean, $100 million is a lot of money to spend on good graces.

From Daily Wire's coverage of the story, this is the going theory as to why Bezos made the huge donation:

Schleifer posited, "[Bezos] is despised by what Carney might call the professional left, given his unapologetic business practices, stratospheric net worth, and essentially libertarian politics. … A hefty donation to the former president's foundation thus greases Bezos' entry into Obama-world, and to the Democratic establishment more broadly."

Seriously, is this a small token to try to get in good with the "eat the rich" Democrats? Giving money to the Obama Foundation?

Ben Shapiro's take definitely has some merit:

It's a big club, and you aren't part of it.

There's something about arguably the most powerful businessman in the US buddying up with the former President of the US that doesn't sit right!
