China News Finance, January 20, Forbes official website January 20 news, a few days ago, "Forbes" released the 2022 United States charity rich 25. From Warren Buffett to new Jeff Bezos, America's 25 most generous billionaires have donated a total of $169 billion, but they are still richer than ever.

Forbes estimates that the cumulative total lifetime donations of the 25 most generous donors in the United States have reached $169 billion. That's up from $149 billion last year, partly because Forbes unearthed new relevant information, but more because the 25 donors made another huge donation last year.

The combined wealth of the 25 philanthropists is $150 billion more than a year ago, an average increase of 18 percent per person. It is estimated that their combined net worth is as high as $1.1 trillion. Seventeen of them have signed the "Pledge of Giving," promising to donate at least half of their assets to charity in their lifetime or after death.

At the top of forbes' list is Warren Buffett, with $46.1 billion in donations. Since last year, two more new faces have joined the ranks of these philanthropists: Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife, Cari Tuna, and Scott's ex-husband, Jeff Bezos.

Other huge donations include George Soros's pledge of $500 million to a small liberal arts college and Mark Zuckerberg's plan to donate $3.4 billion over a decade to measure and analyze human biological functions. (End)
