The secret billionaire giveaway | Reuters.ca
The secret billionaire giveaway | Reuters.ca: "Witty, self-deprecating, frugal and astute, Feeney was listed by Forbes Magazine in 1988 as the 23rd richest American alive and worth $1.3 billion, richer than Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump. He wasn't. Four years earlier, Feeney had placed most of his money in charitable foundations. Inspired by the great 19th century philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, Feeney helped fund schools, hospitals, universities, medical research and human rights from the United States and Ireland to South Africa and Vietnam."
