Greenwich Time - Bloomberg a heavyweight in philanthropy

Greenwich Time - Bloomberg a heavyweight in philanthropy: "Business Week's latest list of top philanthropists should give Michael Bloomberg something to chew on.

Bloomberg is the country's 13th most generous donor - just one slot behind the widow of low-carb guru Dr. Robert Atkins, whom Bloomberg famously described as 'fat.'

Between 2000 and this year, the billionaire businessman-turned-mayor gave out $490 million to various education, arts and health-related charities - paced by blockbuster donations to the Johns Hopkins University medical school, according to the magazine's annual survey of the 50 top philanthropists."
