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 ?

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.
@OmSigDAVID,
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 ?
