The closest would be #AndrewCarnegie who is known as the father of philanthrophy.
Over 100 years after his death his trusts still contribute positively to peace and education.

This Carnegie Library was built in 1903 where my daughter lives. Andrew Carnegie was a wealthy American businessman who believed in giving away his wealth. Part of his philanthropy was to give grants to build 1,689 libraries in the U.S. from 1883-1929. #library #carnegielibrary #andrewcarnegie

Public #Library in #StMarys, #Ontario. Built with a $10,000 donation from #AndrewCarnegie in 1905, back in the days when #American #billionaires working on building up the social fabric rather than destroying it. Even in other countries. #oligarchs #ultrarich #ultrawealthy

My advice is instead of donating to ? political orgs .
I would suggest donating where the money would truly be used to benefit a community which is public free libraries!

Hello. Two of our libraries, Castleford and Horbury, are Carnegie.
Three of our libraries, Normanton, Pontefract and Wakefield, were originally Carnegie libraries but have since moved into newer buildings. They are now a respectively a pre-prep school, museum and art building.

Gates is following in the footsteps of #AndrewCarnegie, who set the standard.
Why can others not recognise the responsibility and opportunity to do good with the wealth they gain?
