Part salesman, part financier, and part psychologist, Max juggles it all-often as he runs between airports and cities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the stories are the philanthropists-the famous author, the corporate CEOs, the members of the US Cabinet, even the eccentric who donates a box full of diamonds anonymously. Motivated by generosity, public image, or less tangible desires, each provides fascinating insight into what makes the affluent give large chunks of their fortunes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ed D.
