Charles F. Feeney, known for his success in duty-free shops and investments in technology start-ups, passed away on Monday at the age of 92 in San Francisco. Feeney quietly gave away the majority of his $8 billion fortune to charity, ultimately fulfilling his pledge to donate his wealth before his death. He maintained a modest lifestyle, living in a rented apartment in San Francisco. Feeney’s philanthropic efforts were primarily anonymous, with grants given through cashier’s checks and secrecy surrounding his involvement. His generosity spanned across several countries and causes, including education, healthcare, human rights, and peace initiatives. Feeney’s contributions played an instrumental role in the Northern Ireland peace process. Despite amassing immense wealth, he reversed his lifestyle and focused on giving back to others. He co-founded Atlantic Philanthropies, which he eventually dissolved in 2020 after donating almost all of its funds. Feeney’s remarkable act of selflessness earned him the admiration of billionaire philanthropists like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
