Feeney lives out of three apartments, in Dublin, Brisbane, and San Francisco, and stays in his daughter’s apartment in New York. Atlantic Irish operations are located in a house on St Stephen’s Green, where Feeney stays in the muse house in the garden.

How he has lived his life is a model for what he wants to teach billionaire philanthropists. Don’t waste your money away when you’re old or dead – make substantial donations while you have the energy, connections and influence to do so.

He said, “People who have money have an obligation.

“I wouldn’t say I’m entitled to tell them what to do with it but to use it wisely.”
