  1. Speaking of philanthropists, this is the most authoritative source on the subject, an they’ve picked up on Leviev’s troubles w/Oxfam:

    Note comment #7 — Leviev is going to Davos this week, and one of the weighty matters that will be discussed there is “feeding the hungry.”

  2. Interesting that Leviev doesn’t even CLAIM that he gave to Oxfam nor explain how the mistaken information was circulated. For this reason, I think it’s very important for non-profits to guard their reputations and not allow celebrities or fraudsters to hijack a good cause for personal gain, which is what Leviev seems to have done.

  3. check out Leviev’s reply about this Oxfam imbroglio, it’s a real tear jerker:

    Having fled the yoke of communism as a teenager living in Uzbekistan, Lev Leviev knows oppression firsthand and has used his self-made success to alleviate suffering around the world. His generosity to numerous groups and organizations is motivated by the wish to do good things for others. Despite the negative characterization of his philanthropy by some political groups, Lev Leviev continues to use his philanthropy solely toward that goal.
