Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey to a blue-collar Irish-American family during the Depression, a veteran of the Korean War, he had made a fortune as founder of Duty Free Shoppers, the world's largest duty-free retail chain. But secretly, Feeney had already transferred all his wealth to his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. Only in 1997, when he sold his duty free interests, was he "outed" as one of the greatest and most mysterious American philanthropists in modern times. A frugal man who travels economy class and does not own a house or a car, Feeney then went "underground" again, until he decided in 2005 to cooperate in a biography to promote giving-while-living. Now in his mid-seventies, he is determined his foundation should spend the remaining $4 billion in his lifetime. <I>The Billionaire Who Wasn't</I> is a tale of one of the greatest untold retail triumphs of the twentieth century, and of what happens to a unique man and his family when confronted with wealth beyond imagining. 1643592 24 9 2007 The Billionaire Who Wasnt: How Chuck Feeney Made and Gave Away a Fortune Without Anyone Knowing total:22|5:5|4:7|3:9|2:1|1:0| 22 82 53 6 1649104 1586483919 9781586483913 22 6 3.73 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186344191m/1649104.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1649104.The_Billionaire_Who_Wasnt_How_Chuck_Feeney_Made_and_Gave_Away_a_Fortune_Without_Anyone_Knowing 3 0 false Tue Jan 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 10:15:49 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 18:30:47 -0800 2009 1649104 1586483919 9781586483913 22 6 3.73 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186344191m/1649104.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1649104.The_Billionaire_Who_Wasnt_How_Chuck_Feeney_Made_and_Gave_Away_a_Fortune_Without_Anyone_Knowing 4 0 false Mon Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 17:41:47 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 17:45:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1649104 1586483919 9781586483913 22 6 3.73 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186344191m/1649104.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1649104.The_Billionaire_Who_Wasnt_How_Chuck_Feeney_Made_and_Gave_Away_a_Fortune_Without_Anyone_Knowing 3 0 false Tue Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 19:34:46 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 19:38:35 -0800 2008
