Have you heard of Charles Francis Feeney? He is an Irish-American businessman and philanthropist. He made his fortune as a co-founder of the Duty Free Shoppers Grouper.
Chuck is also the founder of the Atlantic Philanthropies, one of the largest private charitable foundations in the world. As of December 2020, his net worth is just $1.5 million.

Feeney emerged from anonymity in 1997. He achieved his lifetime mission of giving away his fortune, all while being alive to see the impact it made. In total, he donated more than $8 billion.
