The record-breaking donation came from a 93-year-old former professor, who is the widow of a wealthy investor.

While no individuals should ever be that wealthy to begin with, it’s good to see some of them are capable of letting it go in their old age and returning it to the community rather than selfishly hording it.
Sounds like it was her husband who hoarded the wealth, and that she gave it up once he left it to her.
So though she’d have benefitted greatly from being married to someone so rich, that money wasn’t under her control until he died.
Seems her own work was worthwhile to the community.
Make no mistake, even those who give away sums that to us seen unimaginable, are still doing that.
