DO GREAT PHILANTHROPISTS HAVE GOOD LUCK IN THEIR FUTURES ?

The question is not directed
to whether thay already HAD enuf good luck
to enable them to grant their philanthropy upon their targets.

Over the years n decades,
I have on occasion, dumped some philanthropy
(almost always in the form of unexpected cash) upon my targets.

In truth (altho I have had a very comfortable life) I cannot attribute
any of my experiences to earlier benevolence, nor to acts of vengeful malice
that I executed upon some communists during the Third World War.

In any case, I 've observed respectable people
earnestly asserting that "what goes around, comes around"
indicating a circular motion, like a boomerang.
(I have never acually SEEN a boomerang do that;
just accepting that on blind faith.)

Are u aware of any philanthropists
having had uncommonly good luck after their philanthropy ?





David

P.S.
Tho I have another thread extant on a similar point,
this one is distinct in that it explicitly concerns philanthropists, whereas the other one did not.

The greatest philanthropist of 20th century america (Mr Rosewater) died from stab wounds caused by a pair of scissors wielded by a mugger on the streets of Kansas City Mo.

Thank u, Dys.
That sounds relevant; do u know if he was young or old ?

Any idea of whether he had good luck
after his philanthropy and before the mugging ?
