A guy named Chuck Feeney passed away on Monday at 92. He made billions co-founding a company that owns a lot of the “duty free” stores you see at airports. But he lived the last 30 years of his life on a strict budget after giving away his ENTIRE FORTUNE.
He was a big fan of “giving while living,” and launched a charity in 1982 called Atlantic Philanthropies. They finally shut down three years ago after announcing they’d successfully donated it all.
Over 38 years, Chuck’s charity handed out $8 BILLION in grants. Much of it was done anonymously.
