Giving quietlySourced
The billionaire gave money away in secret
Chuck Feeney built a fortune through duty-free retail and spent years giving anonymously. His lifetime donations exceeded eight billion dollars. The scale was enormous, but for a long time the donor deliberately kept his name out of sight.
The gift could be visible while its giver was not.
