The world’s second richest man, Jeff Bezos has paid a whooping $200 million to name a new branch of the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, after the Amazon founder traveled to space just once.

The Blue Origin founder intends to have his name displayed on several other locations around the museum for at least 50 years.

According to the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, the donation is the largest gift ever given to the museum.

Reports say majority of Jeff Bezos cash will go towards the Bezos Learning Center, a new science, technology, engineering and arts (STEAM) education center .

Bezos’ name will also be written onto a new glass sculpture to honor all those who have donated $10 million or more, and displayed on a wall in the Distinguished Benefactors Room in the Smithsonian Castle, another donor wall at the National Air and Space Museum’s Virginia location.
