The record-breaking donation came from a 93-year-old former professor, who is the widow of a wealthy investor.

    If you read the summary, she didn’t hoard it. Her husband did, and she gave it away pretty much immediately after he died.

      Lol, right, I’m sure she lived a life of poverty in a shack round the back of his mansion and had nothing to do with those ill-gotten billions and the privileges they bring… 🙄🙄

        Idk, maybe she played the long game.

        Her husband has turned into a sociopathic wealth hoarder

        • divorce or

        • keep her head down so she can redistribute all of it when he’s gone.

        Seems like she made a legit choice to me. I’d rather someone did the right thing late than not at all - I’d save my ire for the people who don’t.
