Forbes 400 Forbes artNEW YORK – Sept. 9, 2020 – An enhanced score that measures the generosity of the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, inspired by and produced with support from Global Citizen, now counts grants that billionaires put towards actual charitable uses, rather than money parked in their charitable foundations. Of the 400 list members, just 10 had a score of five, the highest philanthropy score based on lifetime giving. Forbes’ research was based on publicly available data and all list members were contacted by Forbes reporters for data review and feedback. Gifts to donor-advised funds were not counted, except when list members shared documentation about grants paid by such funds.
