BILLIONAIRE GIVERS GET GRIEF

“In recent months, a hedge fund billionaire was denounced for his $400 million gift to the
already
wealthy Harvard University; David Geffen took flak for gifts that plaster his
name on a Manhattan concert hall and a Los Angeles school; and the wife of a Wall Street I
banker was roasted for trying to put her name on a small Adirondacks college. Even
Bill Gates, who has given billions to battle diseases, is taking lumps in a new book titled
No Such Thing as a Free Gift."
