We read an article recently that mentioned a man named Chuck Feeney, an Irishman that made his fortune in cognac, perfume and cigarettes sold from duty-free shops. He then made it his life\u2019s mission to give away his entire $7.5 billion fortune while he was still living\u2014a commitment that earned him the nickname the \u201cJames Bond of Philanthropy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forbes published an article about Mr. Feeney in 2012 that is well worth the read entitled Chuck Feeney: The Billionaire Who is Trying to Go Broke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"glassHe gave away his last $7 million in 2016 to Cornell University, leaving him a paltry $2 million to live on. Musing about Mr. Feeney, we found an article written in 2018 by Philip Taylor; we felt it was well worth sharing with our loyal readers.<\/p>\n

Mr. Taylor notes that \u201cthe average American that makes $1 to $2 million only contributes about 3.2% to charity\u201d but goes on to muse that he rarely gives much over 10% and admits why. You may relate.<\/p>\n

He also has some sage but simple advice on how you can give to charity no matter how much you make. There are only 2 steps. It\u2019s a good article.
\nHere it is.<\/a><\/p>\n
