400 Top Wage Earners Gave an Average of $33 Million Each to Charity, IRS Says - The Chronicle of Philanthropy

400 Top Wage Earners Gave an Average of $33 Million Each to Charity, IRS Says - The Chronicle of Philanthropy: "The 400 taxpayers with the highest incomes in 2013 reported giving an average of $32.8 million to charity. That’s the second highest average in two decades of data provided by the IRS, behind only 2012.

Together, that group of taxpayers donated more than $12 billion to charity, or about 6 percent of the charitable-contribution deductions claimed by all taxpayers who filed itemized returns that year. Twenty years ago, the top 400 were only responsible for a little more than 1 percent of all charitable deductions."
