Robert F. Smith, a black billionaire, came to the 2019 promotion that he would take over all his student debts. That’s about 40 million dollars in all. An unforgettable graduation.
Robert F. Smith had already announced earlier this year that he would donate $ 1.5 million to the university, but Sunday’s announcement was a surprise. His speech was obviously greeted by shouts of joy and applause from some 400 graduates.
According to a spokesperson, this is the largest donation in the history of the university, attended by Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson.
In 2015, the billionaire became the richest African-American according to Forbes. Her fortune surpasses that of Oprah Winfrey – who also gave to Morehouse.
