The reason I love writing special posts on the
Millionaires Giving Money Blog is you can always find some generous billionaire
or millionaire to profile. In this special post I will be showcasing tech philanthropists
giving money away. More and more millionaires and billionaires are making their
fortune in technology (Silicon Valley) and these extremely rich people love to
give their money away. In this post we look at philanthropists such as Larry
Ellison, Peter Thiel and Sergey Brin all of whom have made it big thanks to
technology. I will also find contact details for these incredibly wealthy
people should you wish to reach out and contact them.
I Need Money Now
Before you start emailing tech philanthropists giving money
it’s important to have a genuine need. These people will help you if you have a
legitimate need and want to improve your life. All you have to do is find the
right charitable foundation run by these billionaires and millionaires and then
ask for help.
Philanthropy is a billion dollar industry which means if
you have a genuine need you will get help. Avoid making brash statements such
as I need money or please give me money as these statements can turn wealthy
people right off. So now, without further ado here are 5 tech philanthropists
giving away money.
Top 5 Tech Philanthropists Giving Away Money

Number one in the list of philanthropist giving away
money is Larry Ellison who has an estimated net worth of 50 billion dollars
making him the fifth richest person in the world and third richest person in
American. Larry Ellison as CEO of Oracle Database gives himself a generous 75
million dollar annual salary which means he earns 142 dollars per minute!

now the most used database in the world.

lavish decadent cars, airplanes and even Islands in Hawaii. Larry is not just

#2: Bill Gates
This list would not be complete if I left William Gates out!
At number two in the list of philanthropists who give money is the much loved
Bill Gates. Gates made is incredible fortune creating Microsoft from scratch,
now nearly every computer in the world use the Microsoft Operating System which
has revolutionised desktop computers, laptops and now tablets through the MS
Surface.
Gates is an amazing philanthropist and has pledged to
give away at least half of his fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation to help people all over the world. Born in 1955 the Seattle based
billionaire has an estimated net worth of $81 Billion and gives himself a mere 1
million dollar annual salary which means he earns $1.90 per minute.

people and is trying his utmost to eradicate nasty diseases such as Polio, Diarrhoea
while simultaneously trying to improve education. Gates is also offering
$100,000 to individuals who can develop male contraceptives that are practical!

#3: Peter Thiel
Third in the list of philanthropists who give away
money is Peter Thiel. Most people refer to Peter Thiel as a vulture feeding off
other people’s success but that’s just only one side of him. Peter is a true pioneering
philanthropist who donates large amounts of money to support Anti-Aging
projects that could help people live until they are 150 or more! The Thiel
Foundation works on Artificial Intelligence, Engineered Negligible Senescence
which aims to reverse the aging process.
Peter Thiel has an estimated net worth of 2.2
billion dollars and made his fortune cofounding PayPal and investing in the
early development stages of Facebook. After searching high and low for Peter Thiel’s
contact details I was unable to find anything. However if you do a Google
search for the Peter Thiel Foundation you will be able to reach out the billionaire
using the online contact form. You can even enquire about grants to individuals.
#4: Sergey Brin
Where would we be without Sergey Brin? Probably in the
library looking for information from a book! Sergey Brin is the cofounder on
Google and probably most responsible for the information boom and information
liberation movement. Sergey Brin is also very generous focusing on Parkinson
Disease which his mother is having treatment for. Brin also acknowledges that
there is a high chance that he will also contract the disease which is why he’s
donating large amounts of money ($95 million) to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Sergey Brin also has his own 190 million dollar
foundation aptly named the Human Rights Foundation which he spends a lot of
time on. Sergey Brin despite being born in 1973 has an estimated net worth of
32.2 billion dollars, he also has an undisclosed annual salary which is
probably some ungodly figure. Despite the opulence there is nothing stopping
you from reaching out to the billionaire of search using the contact details
below.

Jeff Bezos is number five in the list of philanthropists
giving away money. With an estimated net worth of 33 billion dollars he is one
of the wealthiest individuals in the world. Jeff Bezos made his fortune by
building Amazon from scratch. Bezos has the potential to become the richest
person in the world once Amazon reaches its full potential. Some of his
philanthropic giving includes money to Seattle Museum and Princeton University.
