An annual ranking of the biggest donors to charity is out, and it’s missing some notable names.
The five individuals or couples who gave or pledged the most money to charity in 2021 were: Microsoft MSFT, +1.20% co-founder Bill Gates and his former wife Melinda French Gates ; financial technology titan and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg ; hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and his wife Neri Oxman ; Facebook FB, -2.10% CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan ; and Google GOOGL, +0.14% co-founder Sergey Brin and Nicole Shanahan .
“‘From this list, you would not know that we’re living through a global pandemic, and you would not know that as a society we’re grappling with racial inequity.’” As for who those recipients were, nearly 86% of the donated or pledged money “went to a relatively narrow slice of the charitable sector: colleges and universities, hospitals, foundations, and donor-advised funds,” the Chronicle of Philanthropy reported.
