Bob and Renee Parsons pledge over half of their wealth to charitable causes.
GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons and his wife Renee Parsons have joined The Giving Pledge, an initiative in which wealthy people pledge to give half or more of their wealth to charity.
Parsons’ net worth is estimated at over $1 billion.
The couple has already made a number of seven figure donations, including to veteran causes. For example, he gave $1 million to establish The Bob Parsons Veterans Center at the University of Baltimore. Parsons is a Vietnam veteran and attended the University of Baltimore on the G.I. Bill after returning from Vietnam.

No doubt…love him or hate him, we should all admire successful folks that do this for real! Hats off to you Bob Parsons. With all of the money I’ve given GoDaddy, I feel like contributor too.
