There are billionaires around the globe who spend their time figuring out how to increase their wealth and assets.
They show off their riches on social media and make the most lavish purchases that are so expensive they could feed a small country.
Then, there are multibillionaires who donate millions of dollars to various charities every week to keep changing and improving people’s lives.
For the last 52 weeks, wealthy couple Rob and Karen Hale have been doing just that. In fact, they have a long history of giving back. Recently, though, they’ve focused more on supporting smaller charities.
Rob is not only a co-owner of the Boston Celtics but also the co-founder and president of Granite Telecommunications. Forbes estimates his net worth at $5 billion.
Rob and Karen know how truly fortunate they are since they have more money than they could ever use because of their success with Granite Telecommunications and the Boston Celtics.
They believe that their community can benefit greatly from their financial support & donations, so they’re eager to share their blessings with it.
As of late September, this couple donated $28.5 million to 29 nonprofit organizations; some focus on cancer research & environmental efforts.
The Hales have also contributed to groups addressing shelter issues in the Dominican Republic as well as projects aimed at helping Boston kids get involved in volunteer work.
The wealthy pair understands that many small organizations with important causes struggle to find funding & support.
