" foundations through his organization Atlantic Philanthropies"

pls don't be a non-thinking mumu that swallows the headline bait. these public announcements are a deception. a clever tax shelter dodge to wisely benefit his family and/or heirs. many millionaires/billionaires follow the same script. most notably Naija's favorite, Bill Gates and his good buddy Warren Buffet. The upper crust and royal families in the UK and Europe take this to another whole level of expertise.. been doing so for centuries. trusts, off-shore banking, shell corporations, etc, etc. perhaps Madueke, Saraki, and a former vice president tapped into this scheme (Panama Papers).

for A First Class students. Others go catch up on the latest BBNaija eviction news, or find a good simp post in romance or tribal war thread in politics section. cheesy

He also gave more than $700million in gifts to health causes ranging from a $270million grant to improve public healthcare in Vietnam to a $176million gift to the Global Brain Health Institute at the University of California, San Francisco.

One of his final gifts was a $350million donation for Cornell to build a technology campus on New York City’s Roosevelt Island.

'Chuck was a cornerstone in terms of inspiration for the Giving Pledge,' Warren Buffett said.

'He's a model for us all. It's going to take me 12 years after my death to get done what he's doing within his lifetime.'

'Chuck created a path for other philanthropists to follow.

I remember meeting him before starting the Giving Pledge.

He told me we should encourage people not to give just 50 percent but as much as possible during their lifetime.

No one is a better example of that than Chuck.

Many people talk to me about how he inspired them. It is truly amazing,' Bill Gates said.

He kept aside $2million for his and his wife's retirement.

Broke yet having 2 million dollars in retirement
That's like 700 million naira

This is the most dumbest, stupid and foolish comment have ever come across on Nairaland.. If you know you have nothing in your brain, why can’t you couple and learn from other people’s comments?.. must you comment when you know you have no brain? Do you know how many Billions of Dollars he gave out to charity? Everything he has worked for all his life, his hard earned money, his sweats.. So the 2 million dollars he left for himself and wife is something to you out of all he has done, that’s why you said he still not broke? You are nothing but an ANIMAL.

To hell with Luke 18:22, to hell with your bible, to hell with your Jesus Christ, F00lish Africans that has refused to wake up from this mental slavery called Christianity and Islam always twisting every thing to favor their religious stupidity. Go and make your research Charles Chuck Feeney is not a Christian or a Muslim. How many of your billionaires and millionaires pastors, Apostles, prophets, Daddy GO's even your Rev.fathers that has no wife or children can ever do such a thing.
Calm down man. You couldn't even pick the humour in the statement. Everything you just said is very disrespectful. You don't know who you are talking to on this forum. Have you ever considered your claims without Anger. That emotion is blinding.

Most of the workers who laboured and sweated for his business probably died in poverty when he was alive! These sick rich ppl race each other to the top of the rich list, simply for pleasure and game! they never pay the right wages to their labourers, but when they die you hear they gave all wealth away to some bogus charity... what’s the point?!!!

No part of the money was given to churches. I hope he knows the Lord? Otherwise, I pray that God will reach out to him with the gospel of our Lord Jesus. Without Christ, your good works has no eternal value.
