Several ultra-wealthy benefactors, including notable figures like New York Patriots owner Robert Kraft and billionaire industrialist Len Blavatnik, have made headlines for their decisions regarding financial support to their alma mater amidst anti-Israel protests on campus.
Kraft, with a net worth exceeding $11 billion, announced his withdrawal of financial backing and initiated the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) in response to the unfolding events. On the other hand, Blavatnik, whose net worth surpasses $31 billion, emphasized the need for the school's leadership to safeguard Jewish students from threats and intimidation.
