Billionaire Bernie Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot, is a known philanthropist throughout the state of Georgia The 90-year-old has given major gifts totally more than $2 billion to various organizations and causes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. He plans to use part of his fortune to help President Donald Trump get re-elected in 2020.
When Marcus passes, 80 to 90 percent of his wealth will go to the Marcus Foundation. His foundation will then distribute the funds to worthy philanthropic causes. Specifically, he wants to help kids with autism and veterans suffering from brain injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I want to live to be 100 because I want to be in a position to give it away to those things that I really believe in," Marcus explained. Ive got all the houses I need. I live very well. My kids are taken care of. Everything I live for now is finding the right things to put my money into and that can give me a rate of return in emotion and doing good things for this world.
The billionaire's net worth various depending on who you ask. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $5.8 billion, while Bloomberg estimated it to be at $4.53 billion. Marcus, however, declines to say what exactly he's worth.
Marcus was one of President Trump's top donors during the 2016 presidential election. The Home Depot co-founder said Trump deserves praise for boosting the economy, the number of new American jobs, confronting China about trade and acting against Iranian and North Korean aggression.
Although his political spending will be smaller than his philanthropic spending, Marcus is expected to be a big Trump contributor this election cycle
“The 90-year-old has given major gifts totally more than $2 billion”
Totally.
Dude!
Sweet.
“Totally.”
“Dude!”
You guys don’t miss anything, and it’s either really late, or pretty early, depending on where you’re posting from.
"I tell you! I tell you! If immigration laws are enforced I'll have to pay $120 to have my lawn cut instead of $100!! Impeach! Impeach!!"
This billionaire also gives money to legit causes, I see; veterans with brain injuries and autistic children.
That alone separates him from the left.
We need more patriots like him, he gets it

Except Home Despot is another ChiCom store front. It could be as bad as Wally World in that regard.
Start the clock for how long Democrats and their Brown Shirts begin fire bombing Home Depots.
That shows you what an idiot he is.
what store does not have items that are imported from China? Even Aafes (Army Airforce Exchange System) aka PX has many items imported from China
His money would be well spent, and if he’s serious (which I think he is), if he were to gather together a few Brad Parscale types and start up a kick-ass social medium forum that supports free speech.

A perfect reason why the USA needs an across the board import tariff.

This old coot billionaire sold out America for China and now wants to make himself feel better at 90 by donating to a real American, Donald Trump? After making all of this traitor blood money selling out the USA I say F him.
