The billionaire ranked No. 7 on The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s 2007 list of the country’s Top 50 donors. He was No. 10 in 2006, when he gave away $165 million to more than 1,000 charities.
Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser said Monday the mayor’s increased donations last year “speak to just how seriously he takes the challenge of trying to make the world a better place.” [amny]
