Former factory worker is world’s most generous donor in fight against Covid-19 – The Telegraph publishes an article with such title.

“They are the billionaires who have given fortunes away to help the Covid-19 relief effort across the globe.


But despite six and even seven-figure donations by some of the world’s leading philanthropists, the biggest coronavirus contributor per head of population is a billionaire you have probably never heard of.


Bidzina Ivanishvili, a Georgian businessman who was Prime Minister of the former Soviet state from 2012 to 2013 is the world’s leading Covid-19 donor per capita according to a new table of pandemic philanthropy.


The 64-year-old industrialist, whose £4 billion wealth equals one third of Georgia’s gross domestic product (GDP), has donated $30 million – representing USD 7.51 per capita in relation to the country’s 3.9 million population”, - wrote the author.
