Jack Dorsey
The battle against the coronavirus just got a big boost thanks to the CEO of Twitter.
Jack Dorsey announced Tuesday that he will put up $1 billion - with a B - of his own money towards global relief efforts.
The donation, which Dorsey claims represents around 28 percent of his wealth, will go into a fund called Start Small, LLC. After the pandemic is over, the remaining cash will then be spent on "girl's health and education, and UBI [Universal Basic Income]."
According to Dorsey, all disbursements will be publicly tracked.
