I wondered what the other biggest gifts were, but could not find a canonical list. A good starter is the following:

I guess that its top 3 still hold. In addition, I found the following:
- $1b endowment to found Vedanta University from Anil Agarwal Foundation (2006)
- $454.5m to National Taiwan University from Terry Gou (2007)
- $400m to Columbia from John Kluge (4th largest in 2007)
- $360m to RPI from an anonymous donor (page mentions largest in US history in 2001)
I could not easily find the official list all of these pages refer to, anybody has an idea?
