If you’re a billionaire, how much of a philanthropist can you be!?
[npr.org]
I'm sure there are many wealthy philanthropists past and present.
One that immediately sprang to mind for me was Andrew Carnegie. He personally funded more than a hundred public libraries across the nation, many of which are still operating today.
There is a beautiful example of this in the small river town of Stillwater, MN. It is a community treasure and The nicest small town public library that I have ever been in. The architecture and features of this building are magnificent.
This is an example of philanthropy that can benefit everyone, young or old, rich or poor.
He was a rare exception. Most billionaires barely donate a drop in the bucket, and go to their graves still hoarding billions while claiming to have lived the life of the philanthropist. If you think someone that stockpiles that kind of money is a kind and generous person, more power to you....
I will never have millions, let alone billions, because there’s far too many hungry people in the world....
More than a millionaire and more than someone like me.
