In these times of braggadocio and egotistical performance, here lies Chuck Feeney, a man who made a great difference to the world. Feeney gave away his fortune in secret for many years, choosing to be anonymous, and donating more than $8 billion in his lifetime, including $1.1 billion to Irish Universities and requested no building be named after him. His grave in Glasnevin Cemetery.
Thanks Pat, I had no idea who he was, I looked him up and what an inspiration.
The man was an icon Pat Flynn MBA - "Fail fast and succeed sooner" and how the world needs more great people like this. Unique, and I could not admire anyone as much.
Lovely man. Lucky enough to chat with him.
Thanks Pat - I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck and what an amazing person he was …didn’t realise that he was buried in Glasnevin .. will def go and visit.
Never a truer word Pat. Thanks for posting.
Love this. It would be great if there was an account of all the good that money did. Surely Chuck would have known and taken great personal joy from it.
I am sure he got great pleasure from his donations and choose his burial location with care, he did so much good and I trust he enjoyed it. Never knew he was in Glasnevin.
An absolutely incredible man by every metric.
Keep Pushing
5dI heard a great quote from the great man many years ago when he said …”I hope the last cheque that I write bounces” Now that’s the sign of the man and a lesson for us all. What a man to be proud of 🤷🏻♂️
