Labour MP Zarah Sultana claimed Jeff Bezos could give every Amazon worker in the world £90,000 and still retain his pre-pandemic wealth. This is not true. It would cost about $172 billion to give £90,000 to all 1.54 million Amazon workers.
We can’t find evidence of GMB saying this, and the union told us that it did not calculate the £90,000 figure. We have asked Mr Maguire where the figure came from, and approached Ms Creasy for comment.
Another Labour MP, Ian Lavery, made the same claim on his Twitter account, but did not say that the GMB was the source of the figure. Mr Lavery subsequently—that Mr Bezos could give every Amazon worker £43,000 with the additional wealth he had recently gained from rises in Amazon’s share price.It is possible that some of those sharing the £90,000 figure heard it during a
[2:05:44] on Wednesday, during which a GMB member said: “If Jeff gave every employee on earth that works for him £90,000 he would still have more money in the bank than he had before the pandemic.”
