Breitbart – Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus revealed in a recent interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he plans to donate the bulk of his billions to various charities, and help re-elect President Donald Trump.
“I want to live to be 100 because I want to be in a position to give it away to those things that I really believe in,” said Marcus, who in the last 15 years has donated to a throng of philanthropic causes from medical research to autism research, veterans groups, and $250 million to build the Georgia Aquarium.
“I’ve got all the houses I need. I live very well. My kids are taken care of. Everything I live for now is finding the right things to put my money into and that can give me a rate of return in emotion and doing good things for this world,” the 90-year-old executive told the paper.
Asked how much he’s worth, Marcus said I “have no clue.” He instead believes the “key is how much can I give away this year?”
A proud supporter of President Donald Trump, and donor to his 2016 campaign, Bernie Marcus has pledged to support the president’s re-election effort.

Normally, I shop at Lowes. I’m thinking I’ll switch to Home Depot.
Nice. Up the shopping there, definitely.
a good man. I would shop Home depot, but its not in my town.
I remember a few years ago Home Depot pissed off conservatives over something. I don’t remember what it was but it seems like the name Homo Depot was used. Whatever the problem was I won’t hesitate to go to the local Home Depot now.
Awesome of Mr. Marcus to do that. He offsets a couple of million Jewish liberals giving money to the dumpocrap party.
@ Anon – I normally try the hardware store, IF OPEN, first, then either a Lowes, a bit further away, for house stuff and go to Home Dee-pot for the more house reno building stuff and of course go there for the stuff the hardware store doesn’t have!
Went to Home Dee-pot right after we bought the house 25 plus years ago and we spent MONEY there so in hindsight GLAD.
I feel the need for a 24 ounce hammer!
“I have no idea.” hahahahaha
No more HD for me since Nardelli ruined it. AND, too many unruly , stinky pet dogs at HD.
They hire lot’s of retired folks too.
Home Depot has always been friendly AND, they offer 10% discount to vets.
I think I need some plywood.
