#5. Now this is money well spent! – David Gottesman, a noted investor and philanthropist, contributed more than $330 million to charitable causes over his lifetime, including a $25 million donation to Yeshiva University in 2008. Mr. Gottesman, who passed away in September 2022, left behind an estimated $3 billion fortune. In one of the largest donations ever made to a U.S. medical school, his widow, Ruth Gottesman, pledged $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she had formerly served as a professor. The gift is expected to fund tuition-free education for future medical students and significantly expand the institution’s financial aid offerings.
