I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
From Chuck Feeney
I believe that people of substantial wealth potentially create problems for future generations unless they themselves accept responsibility to use their wealth during their lifetime to help worthwhile causes.
When you've got the money, you spend it. When you've spent it all, let someone else get going and spend theirs.
They decided as part of my 75th birthday celebrations that I would be entitled to fly first class. I'll be honest, I'm not good at flying anymore. To my credit, I can stretch out on two coach seats.
I'd be the last guy to tell a wealthy person what to do with their money. They're entitled to do whatever they want.
A lot of wealthy people, they don't realize they have the alternatives of spending the money for good.
