Charles Feeney, a philanthropist who Bill Gates once called the “ultimate example of Giving While Living,” has passed away at the age of 92.
Feeney, over the course of his life, gave more than $8 billion to charities, often anonymously. His death was announced Monday by The Atlantic Philanthropies, an organization he founded in 1982 to oversee his philanthropic efforts. In 2020, the organization shut down, having successfully given away all of its funds.
