#2Mad respect, not letting that amount of money get to your head and not wasting it on vain stuff surely takes some crazy discipline.

#3most people say the would do something like this if they ever became extremely rich, but only a few would actually be able to do it. I'm in awe of the strength of character this guy must have.

#6This is a role model I can actually appreciate. I can't figure out why this is the first time I've heard of him. I've seen lots of news about people buying expensive shit, but the fact that this has never come to my attention is a horrible indicator of what the media chooses to report on.

#7This is "proper" giving away, not that fake celebrity donations of "I donated 200k of my 40M money, see how charitable I am"?
And then those celebrities say "You should also donate Joe Doe, we must ALL be charitable".
Meanwhile Joe is in debt and cannot even afford to eat non-pesticide laden food while the celebrity retain 99% of his $$$$.

> While many wealthy philanthropists enlist an army of publicists to trumpet their donations, Feeney went to great lengths to keep his gifts secret.
Seems like that was by design.
