For billionaires, philanthropy is simply PR

  > For billionaires, philanthropy is simply PR For the jaded, everything is PR. (For a PR person, everything is PR.) Just because something has PR benefits doesn't mean that's the primary purpose, or that the other benefits are somehow negated.

  Right, then why are there so many anonymous huge donations?
  • TedShiller 5y ago
    If a donation is anonymous we don’t know who it’s from, so it can’t be PR by definition

    “So many” feels like a misdirect using absolute numbers instead of percentages. Of the money and assets donated by billionaires, do you believe more than 10% of it is done so anonymously that no one ever finds out who donated?
