These are the do-gooders of the
bunch. Most of us can learn from them. Roughly 17% of the
wealthy* population is composed of the philanthropists who
share these qualities.
- Average age: 54
- Achieved wealth through work, some inheritance, good investments,
owning a business, and living below their means
- Self-made, driven to succeed, work hard, take risks
- Use their wealth to help the less fortunate
- Lack the time, interest, and know-how to manage finances;
rely on professional management
- Lost the most in the bear market
- Only one-quarter plan to retire completely
