Hedge Fund Boss Gives $400 million to Harvard University

The 59-year old financier said the gift was his way of thanking the Ivy League school for providing him and others with a top flight education, to which he credits his success at his $19 billion firm Paulson & Co.
"Today is an opportunity to thank Harvard," he said at a conference on campus announcing the donation to Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Paulson earned a business degree from Harvard in 1980.

The school's $36.4 billion endowment makes it the world's richest university.
