This man founded Duty Free. Now he is 81 years old and in his life he managed to make 7.5 billion dollars. Amazing isn't it?
And now the most incredible thing is that this person does not have a car, he lives in a rented apartment and flies in economy class.
His name is Chuck Feeney and he looks like a man who almost always has an old wrinkled shirt and electronic watch for $ 15. He does not go to restaurants, preferring snack bars, does not need the services of tailors, preferring to buy clothes from ordinary clothing stores, and he travels either by taxi or in the subway - it all depends on my mood.
Of course, you can call this person a miser who is greedy every cent, if not for one small, but all the changing fact - only in the last 30 years he has given more than 6 billion dollars to charity!
Money spent on health care, education, science, as well as the maintenance of nursing homes not only in the United States, but also in Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Vietnam and Bermuda.
This person does not need honors, he just does what he sees fit. And he is not going to stop there. In 2016, for good, good deeds, Chuck Feeney intends to give all his fortune.
Many people call him strange and even insane, but what is strange or insane about doing good? To create it for free, without expecting in exchange for praise and awards, because for 15 years Chuck was able to give money to charity and hide it. After he was exposed, many journalists appeared who, like many people in the world, wanted to ask a few questions. But until 2012, Chuck gave only 5 interviews.
This is just an extraordinary and truly amazing person whose actions speak for themselves. He created his business from the very bottom, and despite all the difficulties, in just a couple of years he created a powerful company of 200 employees in 27 countries! The company's revenues multiplied at an incredible rate, and this despite the fact that almost all the money was transferred to a charitable foundation called The Atlantic Philanthropies.
I made sure that a person gets a lot more pleasure when, after giving money, he sees how with their help something appears, for example, a hospital, which thousands of people need. It’s quite logical to invest in good deeds, not to debit them to a bank account, and to allow them to accumulate and accumulate uselessly, ”Fini shares his thoughts.
In his interview, Bill Gates called Chuck the man of the ideal role model, emphasizing that he is the best example of how to do good in life in the world.
