I learned about Jon M. Huntsman from the book I picked up by chance from the National Library. It is the book written by the billionaire himself, Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten).
In my opinion, some of the points illustrated regarding honesty and playing by the rules are on the extreme ends but as an individual, he is truly remarkable. Not only the sum of his donation was humongous (more than $1.2 billion), he had taken out bank loans to meet his philanthropic pledges in bad economic times. I can comprehend if a man dies broke by giving his money away to various charities but cannot help wondering what went through his mind to borrow money from someone just to give away to others. Simply amazing.
A brief info about Jon Huntsman can be found on Wikipedia. It is inspiring to learn that such a man exist in the world.
