Who are the World’s Greatest Philanthropists. - Meet The Super Rich And Generous.

As a philanthropist I have taken my time to study the greatest philanthropists ever, some of the names from my research as familiar names, people with good hearts, willing to help in all situation. I once read that “No man can become rich without himself enriching others." When you wipe away people's tears with your helping hands, you can never be poor in life. If a man dies rich, he dies in disgrace.” A lot of successful businessmen think about sharing and giving back to their community at some point in their lives, and engage in philanthropy. People say it's out of generosity, and others believe that they are only trying to run away from tax . One way or another, the money spent for charitable purposes is needed and has some type of impact on someone’s life somewhere.
