(Excerpt from Yahoo Finance) The world’s richest man donated more than 5 million shares of Tesla, from Nov. 19 to Nov. 29, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The gift was worth about $5.7 billion, based on average prices the days he sold the securities. The name of the charity was not disclosed.
