                  A

  He wears a $15 watch, flies economy class and does not own a house or a car. For years few guessed Chuck Feeney was one of the world's biggest philanthropists (慈善家).

  Eighty-four-year-old Chuck Feeney is the James Bond of philanthropy. Over the last 30 years he has crossed the globe conducting a secret operation to give away a $7.5 billion fortune gained from perfume and cigarettes in his empire of duty-free shops. His foundation, thee Atlantic Philanthropies, has funneled (注入) $6.2 billion into education, science, health care, aging and civil rights in the U.S., Australia, Vietnam, Bermuda, South Africa and Ireland. Few living people have given away more, and no one at his wealth level has ever given their fortune away so completely during their lifetime. The remaining $1.3 billion will be spent by 2016, and the foundation will be closed down in 2020. while the business world's giants are fascinated to pile up as many riches as possible, Feeney is working double time to die broke.

  Chuck Feeney was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1931 during the Great Depression. His parents are both ready to help others in need, which has influenced Feeney deeply.

  Feeney embarked (着手) on the mission to give in 1984. He believes people should start giving early in life. "If you want to give it away, think about giving it away while you are alive because you'll get a lot more satisfaction than if you wait until you're dead. " For the first 15 years of this mission Feeney deliberately hid the type of donations. Many charities had no idea where the piles of money were coming from.

When asked why he decided to give it away, Feeney said, "I'm an easy-going guy. I like to eat my grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches quietly. I don't like people to say, 'Look over there! The billionaire's eating a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. "
