GREENWICH Billionaire investor Mario Gabelli, who keeps a corporate office on Mason Street, has donated $35 million to his alma mater, Fordham University, the school announced.
Gabelli’s gift, made via his Gabelli Foundation, is the single largest gift in the university’s history. It surpassed his own contribution of $25 million in 2010, when the Bronx-based university named the Gabelli School of Business in his honor.
