Some of the world’s richest people continued to give away chunks of their fortunes to charitable causes in 2019. Two of the world’s billionaires donated more than $1 billion dollars each, according to a Forbes report. Azim Premji, the Indian tech titan, made the year’s largest donation, CNBC reports.
Premji pledged a $7.6 billion stake in his IT outsourcing company Wipro to his education-focused charitable organisation--The Azim Premji Foundation--this year, the report said. Some institutions, such as the California Institute of Technology, received the largest financial gifts ever, the report said.
