In addition, Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and
armaments manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite.He used his fortune to institute
the Nobel Prizes. In 1888 Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting Cannes and a French
newspaper erroneously published Alfred's obituary. It

condemned him for his


invention of dynamite and is said to have brought about his decision
to leave a better legacy after his death. The obituary stated, Le
marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead")and
went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to

kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday." Alfred was
disappointed with what he read and concerned with how he would be
remembered.On 27 November 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in
Paris, Nobel signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk
of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes, to be awarded annually
without distinction of nationality ,race or color to people who serves
humanity . After taxes and bequests to individuals, Nobel's will allocated 94% of his total
assets, 31,225,000 Swedish kronor, to establish the five Nobel Prizes.. In 2012, the capital was
worth around SEK 3.1 billion (USD 472 million, EUR 337 million), which is almost twice the
amount of the initial capital, taking inflation into account. The first three of these prizes are
awarded for eminence in physical science, in chemistry and in medical science or physiology;
the fourth is for literary work "in an ideal direction" and the fifth prize is to be given to the person
or society that renders the greatest service to the cause of international fraternity, in the
suppression or reduction of standing armies, or in the establishment or furtherance of peace
congresses.

Finally, one cant forget the greatest black


philanthropist in American history Oprah Gail Winfrey. She

show The Oprah Winfrey Show which was the highest-rated program of its kind in
history and was nationally ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century
.She is currently North America's only black billionaire. She is also, according to
some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. In 2013, Oprah Winfrey

2004, Winfrey became the first black person to rank among the 50 most generous
Americans[167] and she remained among the top 50 until 2010. By 2012 she had

raised more than $11 million for relief efforts. Winfrey personally gave $10 million to
the cause. Homes were built in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama before the

filmed an episode of her show, Oprah's Christmas Kindness , in which Winfrey
travelled to South Africa to bring attention to the plight of young children affected

by poverty and AIDS. During the 21-day trip, Winfrey and her crew visited schools
and orphanages in poverty-stricken areas, and distributed Christmas presents to
50,000 children, with dolls for the girls and soccer balls for the boys, and school
supplies. Throughout the show, Winfrey appealed to viewers to donate money to
Oprah's Angel Network for poor and AIDS-affected children in Africa. From that show
alone, viewers around the world donated over $7,000,000. Winfrey invested
$40 million and some of her time establishing the Oprah Winfrey Leadership
Academy for Girls in Henley on Klip south of Johannesburg, South Africa. The school
set over 22 acres, opened in January 2007 with an enrollment of 150 pupils
(increasing to 450) and features state-of-the-art classrooms, computer and science
laboratories, a library, theatre and beauty salon. Nelson Mandela praised Winfrey for
overcoming her own disadvantaged youth to become a benefactor for others . Critics
considered the school elitist and unnecessarily luxurious. Winfrey rejected the
claims, saying: "If you are surrounded by beautiful things and wonderful teachers
who inspire you, that beauty brings out the beauty in you." Winfrey, who has no
surviving biological children, described maternal feelings towards the girls at Oprah
Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Winfrey teaches a class at the school via
satellite.
