> 我曾和一个准亿万富翁家族共事过。如果你在餐馆碰到他们，你根本看不出来。我最喜欢的书之一是《The Billionaire Who Wasn't》，讲的是 DFS（免税店）的查克·费尼（Chuck Feeney），书里老是提到他那块廉价的 Casio 手表：“从我很小的时候起就很节俭，但我的节俭在于我讨厌任何层面的浪费，”……
> I once worked with an almost-billionaire family. If you ran into them in a restaurant, you would never know. One of my favorite books is The Billionaire Who Wasn't, about Chuck Feeney of DFS (Duty-Free Shoppers), and it keeps referencing his cheap Casio watch: “Since my earliest days I have been frugal, but I am a frugal person in that I hate waste, at any level,”…
……慈善项目，但我大多保持私密/匿名。我在这方面的整体理念来自我最喜欢的两本书：穆罕默德·尤努斯（格莱珉银行创始人）的《Banker To The Poor》，以及 Conor O'Clery 的《The Billionaire Who Wasn't: How Chuck Feeney Secretly Made and Gave Away a Fortune》。
…charitable projects, but I keep much of that private / anonymous. My general philosophy on that comes from two of my favorite books, "Banker To The Poor" by Muhammad Yunus (of Grameen Bank) and "The Billionaire Who Wasn't: How Chuck Feeney Secretly Made and Gave Away a Fortune" by Conor O'Clery.
《The Billionaire Who Wasn't - How Chuck Feeney Made and Gave Away a Fortune》是一本很有趣的读物，讲述了一位低调的亿万富翁秘密捐出绝大部分财产的故事。当福布斯在1988年将他列入富豪榜时，他其实已经……
The Billionaire Who Wasn't - How Chuck Feeney Made and Gave Away a Fortune An entertaining read about a low profile billionaire who secretly gave away most of his fortune. When forbes put him on the richest list in 1988, he had…

让我想起了查克·费尼——他赚了数十亿美元，然后全捐了/成立了基金会，包括给老员工分发了2600万美元。关于他有一本很棒的书叫《The Billionaire Who Wasn't》
Reminds me of Chuck Feeney - who made billions and then gave it all away/set up a foundation, including giving $26 million to long term employees. Great book on him called `The Billionaire Who Wasn't`
写费尼的那本书《The Billionaire Who Wasn't》棒极了。比我刚开始读时的预期还要好。这个人太有魅力了。
The book on Feeney, "The Billionaire Who Wasn't", is great. Better than I expected going on. The man is fascinating.
