大手筆抗疫！ 推特創辦人「捐出28%身家」：掏300億研究新冠肺炎
紅包拿來
COVID-19持續延燒，已經造成全球130多萬人確診。很多名人慷慨解囊、捐贈物資給醫護，或是提供資金給研究人員研發疫苗。之前微軟創辦人比爾蓋茲（Bill Gates）捐出1億美元研發解藥；亞馬遜網購平台的創辦人貝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）也準備對美國食物銀行捐出1億美元，幫助民眾能夠溫飽。
▼這段時間金額最大的單筆捐款者是43歲的推特創辦人兼執行長杜錫（Jack Dorsey）。4月7日時他宣布將透過名下慈善基金捐出10億美元（約新台幣300億元），用來進行相關研究。這筆錢約佔他全部身家的28%。
I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief. After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI. It will operate transparently, all flows tracked here:

▼杜錫在推特上表示，他將自己的電子支付集團「Square」名下的股份轉到他的StartSmall有限公司。這些股份市值10億美元，將用來資助全球對抗疫情。杜錫表示，他希望自己的做法能夠拋磚引玉，「讓我們現在就盡一切可能幫助他人吧」。
Why pull just from Square and not Twitter? Simply: I own a lot more Square. And I’ll need to pace the sales over some time. The impact this money will have should benefit both companies over the long-term because it’s helping the people we want to serve.
Why now? The needs are increasingly urgent, and I want to see the impact in my lifetime. I hope this inspires others to do something similar. Life is too short, so let’s do everything we can today to help people now.

除了杜錫，還有很多名人承諾會捐出不同金額的救濟金。這些錢會幫助更多人度過這一關，幫助全球盡快在疫情中獲勝！
