Chuck Feeney embodies what Gandhi said about the rich having wealth in trust and using it for the good of society:
"“supposing I have come by a fair amount of wealth — either by way of legacy, or by means of trade and industry — I must know that all that wealth does not belong to me; what belongs to me is the right to an honourable livelihood, no better than that enjoyed by millions of others. The rest of my wealth belongs to the community and must be used for the welfare of the community.” [1]
Each time I bike past Cornell Tech, Feeney's generosity awes me. What a mensch. Makes me proud to be human.
