People reacted to Amazon's donation with ridicule over the weekend.
Metallica announced last week that it would give $750,000 to fire-fighting efforts in Australia.
Lol. Metallica gave $750,000. https://t.co/l45HkUKhIK
— Thick Cave & the Bad Tweets™ (@TimDuffy) January 12, 2020People pointed out that a model singlehandedly raised roughly $1 million by selling nude photos for charity last week.
The 20-year-old model is still raising money for fire relief.

— jordan (@JordanUhl) January 12, 2020Kylie Jenner, a billionaire with a significantly smaller net worth than Bezos, said she would donate $1 million.
Jenner's donation came after she faced minor backlash for an Instagram post about the fires that was criticized as tasteless.
Kylie Jenner is donating a million. She's worth several billion less than Bezos. https://t.co/sdl4MyoQ4H
— Oliver Willis (@owillis) January 12, 2020By the end of the week, many were calling on Amazon to pledge a heftier sum.
If Amazon did “Australian wildfires day” and donated all revenue from a single day of sales, they would raise almost 1,000x Bezos’s donation https://t.co/Mzo1ypiUL9
