Last year,Forbes and Nuveen worked together to score America’s richest people on how much they have given to philanthropy in their lifetime. Each billionaire on the "Forbes 400" was given a philanthropy score, measuring their total lifetime giving.
"We believe that we have a responsibility to use our powerful platforms with a strong partner like Nuveen to spark discussions that ensure more people have an equal opportunity for success,” he added.
To compile the list, Forbes reporters researched U.S. billionaires, as well as Forbes’ lists of the highest-paid athletes, highest-earning celebrities and most successful self-made women.
