Among the celebrity philanthropists who donate extreme amounts of money to education and lifting others, Chuck Feeney’s name is not as well-known as Bloomberg, Gates or Buffett.
Those billionaires Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are highly recognizable names of great wealth, and their efforts are well-known.
But Feeney, 89, has donated more than $8 billion in the past 38 years more quietly, espousing the slogan “Giving While Living” through his Atlantic Philanthropies (AP) organization, “to advance opportunity and promote equity and dignity.”
His intent has been so successful that he has depleted the wealth he accumulated in his lifetime, and his foundation closes this year.
