Philanthropist


A philanthropist is someone who devotes his time, money, or effort towards helping others. The label is most often applied to someone who gives large amounts to charity. See also philanthropy.

A philanthropist does not always find universal approval for his deeds. Common accusations include supporting the wrong cause (such as funding art instead of fighting world hunger) or having selfish motivation at heart (such as avoiding taxes).
