2. Warren Buffett
Lifetime donations: $21, 5 billion
Warren Buffett is yet another philanthropist who believes that the greatest gift one can get is a gift of education. He founded the Warren Buffett Scholarship to students with financial needs. However, he does not provide individuals only with scholarships for education but financial help for other fields as well. This foundation was renamed to Susan Thomson Buffet, after his wife passed away in 2004. More information on college scholarship is available on this link but take into consideration that only those who attended high school in Nebraska are eligible.
