It sounds to me like Feeney had stuff going for him. A rare example (I assume) of brains, fortune and a good heart combined into one person. If there is a God, I suppose he would be pleased.

It's Cement RoadBASE Holdings in Ireland. I worked for a subsidiary. They are honestly an azzhole company. Get the customers what they want but understaffed and accidents aren't unusual. Rotten and sometimes corrupt upper management. I saw it in the subsidiary here in Australia, where the national management would HAPPILY burn every other depot around the country to make themselves look good to international headquarters. I made a lot of money there but they treated employees like total crap. Imagine DELIBERATELY running out of work gloves AND soap when using lathes and oily cutting fluid all day, AND in the middle of a pandemic. WHILE having signs up about stopping covid spread by washing your hands. They wasted money on a big flatscreen that basically showed a sideshow of the latest company newsletter, a few thousand bucks for that but NOT $5 for soap.
Merckles kids paid the debts back and sold assets for that. Merckle is spelled differently than Merkel, the chancelor due to the change positions of the last 2 letters. Just to let you know cause first i had a different picture in my mind due to the way you had pronounced the name like that of former the chancelor.
I tip my hat to Mr. Feeny. Contrary to many billionaires who only talk big and use the pledge to save on taxes, he actually gave it all away. I wish him and his wife a happy retirement, may every day be as you wish it to be.
True but 2 million left for retirement is rather risky, especially with potential medical costs. You can blow 10k+ a month just on 24/7 medically certified caretakers.
We are all screwed if 2 mil is a “risky retirement”. Using the 4% rule, that would generate 80K a year with a low chance of impacting the capital over a 30 year period. Seniors in many countries can access subsidised health care too. If they drew down $120K per year to cover 10K a month medical expenses, assuming a 6% investment return and a 3% inflation, that 2 mil would last 24 years. He’s currently 89 years old. He probably doesn’t need his money to last another 30 years.
@@SamConnelly Well, you got a point but I was assuming he has a high standard of living. Just a senior care facility with 24/7 care (bathe, feed, etc) runs 5k a month per person (so 10k total) and you live like a peasant. If you want to hire a RN 24/7, they cost $50/hr, at least here in California, Los Angeles. Having a RN at your mansion 24/7 is going to cost 36,000 per month. A year of that is $432,000. I'm sure he'll be fine but my point was just that medical costs can be insane, especially if you want medical services brought to your home and 24/7 care by professionals instead of family. Of course the rest of us with have to suffer with what we can afford but I have heard of older people blowing through millions in medical expenses during the last few years of their life. It's plausible at least. Also when you are old you can't keep your money in stocks due to volatility and short time horizon, so 6% return is out of the question. Most will be cash and short-term bonds.
I don't think he has a luxurious standard of living. He's been quoted as living quiet frugally and I found a source that said; "He now lives in a two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco with his wife Helga"
Mr. Feeny is a wonderful human being. The man secretly gave away all his money his entire career and saved enough for him to retire on. What an absolute legend. I sincerely hope that man is as good as he seems. Lol I’ve just become so jaded by this world I’m always hesitant.
Why is giving away money good? What if you give it to people who can't manage it? The only reason most people don't self-destruct is because they can't afford to. Remove that obstacle and they are ruined.
Lol. Liabilities > assets happen a lot, but normally the difference isn’t huge and only last a very short time. It’s only when the gap is huge and cannot be closed in a timely manner that ppl go bankrupt
As a chemical engineering student taking my senior level classes, I can assure you that I have not come up with any groundbreaking idea, and really don't know much about anything, much less inventing an amazing medical technology
Hi Patrick. Very entertaining, as always. Let me just update the "judge driving Porsche seized from Eike Batista" story: the judge lost his position, was fined ~600 k, and was sentenced to 52 years in jail for corruption. Judges are very rarely punished in Brazil for egregious violations, so I couldn't help setting the record straight in this fortunate instance. Cheers
That is absolutely surprising, since the standart punishment for corruption by judges in Brazil is... forced retirement keeping their full salaries for life. Yeah, that is what Brazilian law actually says.
I swear this guy is awesome man. Like he comes with legit content but if you’re paying attention he is so freaking funny it’s really something great. When he switched into the turtle neck on Elizabeth Holmes I nearly lost it. Thank you Patrick for these amazing videos.
Feeney is a great story. I recommend to you also Jan Vilcek, whose laboratory at NYU did work leading to the development of monster drug Remicade. There was a NY Times headline article that Vilcek had given away what I thought was nearly $1 B of his own personal gains from the development of this drug as he and his wife were childless survivors of the Holocaust, setting up funding for medical science, young investigators, and such…
One more interesting fact about Merckle's suicide is that his son managed to restructure the loans and now the family has its billionaire status back. So in the end, there was really no reason for him to kill himself.
I remember hearing that although he was worth billions he had committed suicide. I was thinking "shit, it's only money, you could have lived a normal life".
Even after giving away nearly everything he had, Mr. Feeny is still a millionaire in retirement. God speed and good health to you and the Missus Feeny for many years.
I remember asking friends from med school what they think about theranos back in 2011 and they all said those claims are against fundamental laws of nature. Like you can't conduct certain blood tests with only a drop of blood. Simply bc some cells are too rare so you need more blood to find them
Also the individual machines emit a lot of different thing like microwaves and gamma rays and they just can't be all packed inside one machine because they'll interfere with each other. Most have a lot of shielding in them
Chuck Feeney was my office landlord in the late 90s. Only met him a couple of times when he was very kind to everyone. He hosted and supported many public and secret meetings and moves during the Peace Process, and also quietly made sure many organisations and interest groups survived to do good in Ireland and abroad.

I have no problem with ads, but when 5 different TH-camrs tell me at the same time that they all personally read the same newsletter for a couple months before even getting sponsored, I get really suspicious.
I knew Anil Ambani would be on top in this list. We, here in India, give examples how a fight in family could result in such a big issue. On the other hand, Mukesh Ambani is an inspiration of every wanna be entrepreneur.
Good vid. Some of these billionaires turned from what they knew in business to becoming gamblers at the casino. If you bet on a direction, make sure when you do, you can get out of it if you are wrong to live to fight another day. Don't go into a room that you can't get out of. Betting on a direction of a market that is about to trend or turn is one of the toughest things to do.
I take a keen interest in finance and financial history, but I have never EVER heard of Jesse Livermore. I consider this gap in my education now filled. Thanks, Patrick.

Holms would not be a 'self-made' billionaire even if Theranos was legit, you can't be self-made if your dad is also a billionaire and has many billionaire friends.
This is a good point. You can’t discount how much more opportunity you have access to in making a business possible when you have connections like this. A random Stanford drop out wouldn’t get the time of day from all the people she did thanks to her family. Buffett I think isn’t entirely fair in comparison but definitely has some similarity. Buffett learned a lot from his father about the business from a young age. And his fathers career in investing had a huge impact. Example, Warren invested in his fathers farm at an extremely young age and made a large profit from it. But outside of that he spent years operating as a businessman and making wild decisions about money and investment you’d never see from a kid his age. He had the equivalent of $100K saved by the time he was in college from his choices growing up. But where his fathers influence definitely played a role is Warren aligning with Benjamin Hraham. Graham went into business with him because of his clear intelligence but one has to imagine Warren would be laughed out of a building if not for who his father was. But he is also one who demonstrated an immense track record of merit prior to any of this unlike Holmes. He was clearly qualified for the endeavors he entered, it being proven for years at a young age, before he did anything with Graham. Holmes on the other hand was never qualified and never became qualified for any of what she did.
Mr. Feeney, you're one of the few in the world that I remember, admire and respect the most. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! RIP...
Thank you very much for the video. Huge respect to Chuck Feeney. I suppose that Holmes is not going to be alone in the fraudulent startup category for long and a lot more are going to be added to the list, just question of time with gravity driven truck inventor being first on my mind, but absolutely not the last. Catwoman claimed she had no plastic surgery?!, i hope she did not mention being billionaire either in that case))

This is a good point. You can’t discount how much more opportunity you have access to in making a business possible when you have connections like this. A random Stanford drop out wouldn’t get the time of day from all the people she did thanks to her family.
Buffett I think isn’t entirely fair in comparison but definitely has some similarity. Buffett learned a lot from his father about the business from a young age. And his fathers career in investing had a huge impact. Example, Warren invested in his fathers farm at an extremely young age and made a large profit from it. But outside of that he spent years operating as a businessman and making wild decisions about money and investment you’d never see from a kid his age. He had the equivalent of $100K saved by the time he was in college from his choices growing up.
But where his fathers influence definitely played a role is Warren aligning with Benjamin Hraham. Graham went into business with him because of his clear intelligence but one has to imagine Warren would be laughed out of a building if not for who his father was. But he is also one who demonstrated an immense track record of merit prior to any of this unlike Holmes. He was clearly qualified for the endeavors he entered, it being proven for years at a young age, before he did anything with Graham. Holmes on the other hand was never qualified and never became qualified for any of what she did.
"... of course dropped out of Stanford ..." LOL
You have an excellent presentation style for this type of content, great job.

I'd check your microphone levels and distance, it's not sounding too great.

LOOOOOOOL
I thought dr grande had the driest deadpan style but Patrick has dethroned him. Better than any netflix stand up special
Thank you very much for the video.
Huge respect to Chuck Feeney.
I suppose that Holmes is not going to be alone in the fraudulent startup category for long and a lot more are going to be added to the list, just question of time with gravity driven truck inventor being first on my mind, but absolutely not the last.
Catwoman claimed she had no plastic surgery?!, i hope she did not mention being billionaire either in that case))
Very resourceful.
