I've been on vacation for the last week, so I have no news to write about. The only thing to look at for the week is about an incredible man. Enjoy!

Tale of the Tape
Stats of the Week
The amount Charles Feeny donated at the time of this death. Normally I could care less about a billionaire donating his money because typically it's a way for them to avoid taxes while painting themselves as men or women of the people.
However Charles Feeny did things differently. He made his wealth by co-founding Duty Free Shoppers. A store in various airports that allows people to avoid paying import taxes on goods such as alcohol, by buying them at the airport while preparing to board your plane.
Unlike most billionaires who tend to flaunt their wealth. Feeny choose to live comfortably life with a $2 million retirement fund. According to the Morning Brew, he donated his remaining wealth to his alma mater, Cornell University, as well as to universities in Ireland, and hospitals in Vietnam. He also bankrolled humanitarian causes, like death penalty abolition and peace efforts to end sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
But the best part of the story is the fact that he did it all anonymously.
This is literally LIFE GOALS!!
Looking Ahead
I'll be back on the regular schedule next week. After recovering from my traveling. It was awesome to get away for a little bit. Shout-out to my longtime travel partner, my little brother. He made this trip rather special.
