Hedge-fund billionaire Robert Wilson committed suicide last week, but first he gave his last $100 million to Environmental Defense Fund.
"A renowned Wall Street tycoon gave away his entire $800 million fortune before falling to his death in a suicide jump this week. Hedge fund multi-millionaire Robert W. Wilson, 87, leapt from the 16th floor of his luxury San Remo apartment building (pictured above), a prestigious address in New York’s Upper West Side which has been the residence of Steven Spielberg, Demi Moore, Glenn Close, Dustin Hoffman, Bono, Steve Martin, Bruce Willis and Steve Jobs in the past. According to the New York Police Department, he left a note at the scene. He had suffered from a stroke just a few months before." -- Jenn Selby, the London Independent
