Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, have awarded $100 million to actress Eva Longoria and retired Navy admiral Bill McRaven as part of Bezos' annual Courage and Civility Award.
Longoria plans to use the $50 million award to continue supporting her foundation, which helps Latinas through education and entrepreneurship. She has already pledged $1 million to aid those affected by Los Angeles wildfires.
McRaven will use his $50 million award to develop education programs for future military leaders and support mental health initiatives for veterans.
Bezos, who has a net worth of $248 billion, launched the award in 2021 to recognize individuals making significant contributions to society.
