Top 10 Most Generous People

Top 10 Most Generous People: I have made a list of philanthropists giving away money. These philanthropists are the most generous people in the world.

When we talk about the generosity we actually talk about the “Generosity Index”.

It is the percentage of wealth one gives out as charity in life.

It is the percentage of the difference between net worth and the donation. For example, if I have $10, I give $5 away as charity, my generosity index becomes exactly 50 %, that means I have given half of my wealth away. In other words, I am 50% generous.

So who are the most generous people in the world?

Let’s countdown! Here I have listed the most generous people that the world knows of.

But before, we highly recommend you take a look at this book. The Generosity Factor

10- Bill Gates:

Bill Gates needs no introduction. He is the 2nd richest person in the world with the net worth of stupendous $84.2 billion and his lifetime donations equate to up to $27 billion giving him the generosity index of 32%.
