Charles “Chuck” Feeney, the retail entrepreneur and philanthropist who gave away his entire multibillion-dollar fortune, has passed away at the age of 92. Feeney co-founded Duty Free Shoppers and later sold his shares to LVMH, accumulating great wealth. However, he believed in “Giving While Living” and established the Atlantic Philanthropies in 1982. The foundation closed in 2020 after successfully donating all of its funds, totaling $8 billion, to causes such as education, healthcare, and human rights. Feeney lived frugally, choosing to rent instead of owning a car or home. He was known for his generosity, including giving nearly $1 billion to Cornell University.
