LOS ANGELES (ANN): An 89-year-old philanthropist and entrepreneur has finally achieved his goal of donating his $8 billion fortune before dying. Now that he has succeeded in giving it away, he officially closed the organization after almost four decades of operating. About $3.7 billion of his fortune went to education, including a $1 billion to his alma mater, Cornell University. Following the conclusion of his mission, Feeney said he has “learned a lot” from running his foundation and donating to different causes. Along with his foundation, Feeney also pioneered the “Giving While Living” entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy.
