According to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, the biggest charitable gifts of 2015 came from well-known billionaires such as hedge fund manager John Paulson.
John Paulson was second on the list with a $400 million pledge to Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The gift — the largest in Harvard University’s history – is an endowment to support the school of engineering & sciences. Paulson, who is perhaps best known for successfully betting against subprime mortgages in 2007, is a 1980 graduate of Harvard Business School.
Forbes estimates Paulson’s net worth at $11.4 billion.
