Profoundly inspirational.  Thank you for posting this.

 

A great man who leads by example alone.  It is interesting to me that his only misstep was when he stepped into an area that involved politics, but he recognized it and quickly closed down that chapter.

Good timing, I started reading the book yesterday.  Thanks for posting

Feeney is an inspiration, both as a philanthropist and as a businessman.

 

We have a thread about the book here:

It took decades, but Chuck Feeney, the former billionaire cofounder of retail giant Duty Free Shoppers has finally given all his money away to charity. He has nothing left now—and he couldn’t be happier.

Incredible person.

I read his bio to my kids yesterday, quite an inspirational guy who shows you can accomplish great things if you put your mind to it, and not to let wealth become chains.

Missed news that he passed, RIP, I read the book probably 4-5 years ago, good easy read and very interesting. Was a remarkable guy and I enjoyed the book, never let the money change him.

Takes a rare person to not let money change them.  Very humble and never did it for attention or acclaim.  Role model for sure.

Unsaid is the multiplier-effect that his work had with the Giving Pledge.
