Newsweek Publishes 50 Most Generous

The holidays are the time of year when most of us start thinking about giving, but to a true philanthropist, give is a year round obsession. Entire teams of people work to get money into the appropriate hands.

Newsweek has published the top 50 most generous philanthropists over the last 5 years. You will see Warren Buffet tops the list and right behind him, Bill and Linda Gates. The Waltons are there along with many names you won't recognize. It's interesting to note where the wealthy are spending their charity dollars. Education is a primary recipient. It would be even better if we could actually see how the money is being spent.
