    He wears a $15 watch, flies economy class and does not own a house or car. For years. few guessed that Chuck Feeney was one of the world's biggest philanthropists, secretly giving away his billionaire fortune.

    I'm glad that his story is getting more attention now. The world needs more examples like this. Maybe it will soften up some of the rich folk to loosen their purse strings.
