Chuck Feeney: The Billionaire Who Is Trying To Go Broke

Interesting that he is&#x2F;was big on reducing his tax liability so that he could give away more.

<i>The man who arguably has done more for Ireland than anyone since Saint Patrick...</i><p><i>What Feeney does is give big money to big problems–whether bringing peace to Northern Ireland...</i><p>Whilst there&#x27;s no doubting Feeney&#x27;s massive philanthropic efforts in Ireland, the two claims quoted above are just absurd.

Well that article was better than expected, I lost my money on out of the money options, whereas this is a generous philanthropy piece. I&#x27;d like to think my way was more effective.

I&#x27;m tired of all the worshiping of rich people because they go around spending a fortune trying to reshape the world in their own image. Bill gates is ruining school systems in the US. As far as I&#x27;m concerned no one can &quot;earn&quot; a billion dollars. People get that rich because the system is broken not because they are brilliant and hard workers.

My family&#x27;s sign-making business back in Ireland got a lot of work out of UL and the Plassey Technological Park back in the day. It always did feel weird, like an alien had plonked them down on the edge of Limerick. Now I know that&#x27;s at least partially true!

Anyone else think of &quot;George Feeny&quot; when they saw his last name? :)

There&#x27;a actually a documentary about him. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMcjxe8slYI‎" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=OMcjxe8slYI‎</a>

Currently reading Atlas Shrugged, this story is amusing. I&#x27;m afraid that book is more relevant that I would wish.

Wow - this guy is my new role model.

A relevant anagram can be found in his name...

Awesome awesome book, highly recommend you read it!
