86-year-old Robert W. Wilson, a multi-millionaire philanthropist, took how own life by jumping off 16th floor balcony of his luxury apartment in New York City on Monday December 23, 2013, just a few months after suffering a debilitating stroke.

The Wall Street mogul whose personal fortune was estimated to be about $800million recently told friends he had given all but $100million to charity. He apparently could not give away the rest because it was tied up in long-term investments.

The New York Post reports that Wilson left a note before leaping at about 11 a.m. from the 16th floor of the famed San Remo, which overlooks Central Park West, cops said.

“He always said he didn’t want to suffer, and when the time came, he would be ready,” said Wilson’s friend, Stephen Viscusi.

Wilson donated $100 million each to the World Monuments Fund, the Nature Conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

One of his favorite initiatives was “saving” Catholic private schools, although he was an atheist.

Wilson was married to his only wife, Marilyn, for about 35 years before they divorced. He leaves behind an brother, William, 88, who lives in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He has no children.

It seem like he just doesn't want to go through the burden of having a stroke.
