What? I think the joke is hit net worth is negative. Like, if his net worth is -125, .08 of that is negative one. So if he "gives" that portion of his wealth away, he's giving them negative one dollars. ie: taking a dollar from them.
It's both a point about how rich Bezos is and a joke about how poor the comedian is
Yeah, to me it reads as if he has a networth so low, it's in the negative. Thus, if he gave any percent of his networth, he'd he taking from them.
Exactly
98,500,000/112,000,000,000 = 0.00088 = 0.09 %If his net worth is negative, i.e. about $ -1140, then 0.09 % of this would equal one dollar.
