Dr. Ruth Gottesman had that very decision to make when she found out in 2022 that her husband had left her a staggering amount of money. “He left me, unbeknownst to me, a whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock,” she told The New York Times.

Ruth Gottesman gave New York City's Albert Einstein College of Medicine a $1 billion. She's a former professor and widow of a Wall Street investor.
