Sad to hear about the death or Chuck Feeney. I worked in a few organisations that were lucky enough to receive funding from The Atlantic Philantrophies. His money propped up a lot of organisations in Ireland and there was a huge vacuum when his organisation wound down. #ChuckFeeney

When #ChuckFeeney first appeared on the world's rich lists in the 1980s he had built a billion dollar business selling duty free goods to tourists. But he'd also given most of his money away to charity.
Simon Jack & Zing Tsjeng follow Feeney's journey from Depression-era New Jersey through living the high life during the Jet Age to making $8 BILLION worth of donations to causes across the planet. (He was also VERY good at tax avoidance, so...)
