Apple Inc (AAPL.O) Chief Executive Tim Cook is joining the roster of the very rich who are giving away their wealth. 苹果执行长库克加入富豪“裸捐”行列,称计划在帮助侄子支付完大学学费后,捐出全部身家。
Fortune magazine cited the head of the world's largest technology corporation as saying he planned to donate his estimated $785 million fortune to charity - after paying for his 10-year-old nephew's college education. 《财富》 杂志援引库克的话称,他计划在帮助 10岁的侄子支付完大学学费后,将其预计达7.85亿美元的身家捐出,用于慈善。
"You want to be the pebble in the pond that creates the ripples for change," Cook told the magazine. “你会希望自己成为池塘中激起变革涟漪的那枚卵石,”库克对该杂志称。
Fortune estimated Cook's net worth, based on his holdings of Apple stock, at about $120 million. He also holds restricted stock worth $665 million if it were to be fully vested. 《财富》估计,根据库克所持苹果股份,其资产净值大约为1.2亿美元。此外,库克还持有苹果限制性股票,这些股份若完全兑现,价值达6.65亿美元。
While Cook's largesse could not begin to approach the scale of a Gates or Zuckerberg, both worth billions of dollars, the Apple CEO told Fortune he hopes to make a difference. 尽管库克的身家相较微软创始人比尔·盖茨和Facebook创始人扎克伯格小很多,他对该杂志称,他希望在慈善方面有所作为。
He told Fortune he has started donating money to unspecified causes quietly and is trying to develop a more "systematic approach" to philanthropy that goes beyond writing checks. 他对《财富》表示,他已开始对一些项目悄悄捐款,在慈善上希望找到一个更“系统性的方法”,而不仅是写写支票。
