A somewhat secretive billionaire who wants to go bust in his lifetime: Twice married, New Jersey born Chuck Feeney has dual Irish-American citizenship and founded The Atlantic Philanthropies, one of the largest private foundations in the world. He owns neither a home nor a car, made his £4 billion fortune as the co-founder of the Duty Free Shoppers Group and has now given most of it away. In 2012, Forbes magazine described him as “the man who arguably has done more for Ireland than anyone since Saint Patrick”.
