Reminds me of Chuck Feeney - who made billions and then gave it all away/set up a foundation, including giving $26 million to long term employees.

Great book on him called `The Billionaire Who Wasn't`

View on HN

I agree. This was an 'accidental' book for me and whilst I'm sure that the story told was a little biased the ultimate message was very good. Recommend it to anyone who is interested in business. What I like is that this is also a book about building something huge, from an idea. Many times on HN its about someone who's created something that brings in a few hundred or a few thousand dollars a month. Its good to read about people who really build large businesses, employing a lot of people

Had to look it up, found it on Bill Gates' site :)
