Widow’s Incredible $1 Billion Donation Pays Tuition For Med Students Forever!

Ruth Gottesman has a long history with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, starting her career there in 1968.

Now a clinical professor emerita and chair of the board of trustees, she was entrusted by her late husband with $1 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock in 2022.

Ruth chose to donate this sum to cover tuition for medical students at the college, located in Bronx, New York City’s poorest borough. This donation ensures that no medical student will face financial barriers to education, significantly impacting the school’s future.
