Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has awarded $50 million each to actress Eva Longoria and retired Navy Adm. William McRaven as part of his Courage and Civility Award, to be spent on charitable organizations. Longoria plans to continue her work with the Eva Longoria Foundation and Eva’s Heroes, while McRaven intends to support the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, the BrainHealth Project, and training future military leaders. Bezos began distributing the award to philanthropists in 2021, with previous recipients including Dolly Parton, José Andrés, and Van Jones, each receiving $100 million. Bezos, who plans to give away most of his fortune during his lifetime, did not hand out the award in 2023.
