Michael Bloomberg is a very popular name that most are familiar with. The previous mayor of New York has been giving to causes for a very long time, and long before his career started as the Mayor of New York. He writes in his Giving Pledge letter: “The reality of great wealth is that you can’t spend it and you can’t take it with you. For decades, I’ve been committed to giving away the vast majority of my wealth to causes I’m passionate about.” Bloomberg founded Bloomberg Philanthropies, which gives to causes such as education, arts, health, environment and government innovation.
