@cspanofficial: C-SPAN's "America's Book Club" — David Rubenstein, co-founder of the private equity firm Carlyle Group, said he decided to use his financial success to support philanthropic causes so he could see the benefits of his giving during his lifetime rather than leave his wealth to be donated after his death. "I decided when I was still relatively young that I would like to see the benefit of what I was doing with my money as opposed to waiting till I die and somebody will give it away on my behalf," he said. Watch the full interview, filmed at @americanuniversity, SUNDAY at 6 & 9pm ET/PT on C-SPAN. #philanthropy #rubenstein #cspan #cspanabc #BookTok
