Rick Steves: 'I just gave away a $4M apartment complex'
We all know Rick Steeves products, guides and so on, aren't we? But it turns out the man is actually a serious philanthropist:

He has been a serious philanthropist for quite a long time -- the last three decades or more. His Trinity Place project (apartment units for homeless mothers and their children) actually began in the 1980s. He has also supported Bread for the World for a number of years, among many other organizations.
