Chuck Feeny: Feeny was a billionaire in the 1980s after making his fortune from duty free shops in airports. However he donated his money to charity and gave nothing to his children.
Ted Turner: Ted Turner and Chuck Feeny are a lot alike. Both have given their billions away to charity and want to have nothing left when they die. Ted Turner has been quoted as saying that he is already on the edge of poverty and he wants to die with just enough to cover funeral expenses.
Bernard Marcus: This co-founder of Home Depot has become a billionaire and he has used that money to fund the Georgia Aquarium and create the Marcus foundation.

He thinks it does more harm than good. However T. Boone Pickens also said that he enjoyed making money and giving it away, so perhaps he wants his children to find the same joy.
Gloria Vanderbilt: One of a long line of super-rich, Gloria Vanderbilt is descended from a family that rose to ultra-wealth during the Gilded Age. However, she inherited a mere $5 million which she turned into a $200 million fortune. Her son Anderson Cooper will get none of it, and he agrees with her decision. He even stated that he believes he would not have tried as hard in his life if he knew there was a pot of gold waiting for him.
