我比较佩服的，是这样的人，自己非常简朴，捐款 35 Million

Eugenia Dodson came to Miami from Minnesota in 1924 at 20, got work as a beautician at the Flagler Street Burdines, married well, invested wisely after her hu*****and died, lived frugally to almost 101 and now has surprised everyone by donating $35.6 million to local diabetes and cancer research.

Throughout her life, ''Gene'' Dodson, as she preferred to be called, consciously built up her fortune to donate to diabetes research to honor her two brothers, who died of its complications, and cancer research after she lost part of a lung to cancer. She lived below her means in a small condo near the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, refusing to spend money for in-home care until a debilitating fall when she was nearly 100. ''She denied herself the trappings of wealth; she was dead-set on doing good for humankind,'' said Donald Kubit, co-trustee of her trust at Northern Trust Bank.

And she refused publicity; her donations came out of the blue after her death last December. ''She didn't want any recognition in her lifetime, so she directed her lawyer to keep it confidential,'' Goodwin said.
