Cari Tuna
Cari Tuna is the wife of Facebook co-founder, Dustin Moskovitz. Her hubby is giving away money to politics!
Recent reports say the young Silicon Valley entrepreneur is donating $20 million of his fortune to Democratic coffers, including those backing Hillary Clinton.
Dustin and his wife have announced they will make the important donation, which will make them the third most generous donors in the 2016 campaign, according to CNN.
Cari’s husband has a net worth of more than $10 billion, so the donation is no problem.
Her husband co-founded the social networking website Facebook along with Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes.
The internet entrepreneur left Facebook in 2008 to co-found Asana with Justin Rosenstein. Her hubby still has a reported 7.6% stake in the company.
Cari Tuna is the eldest of three children born to two doctors. She hails from Evansville, Ind.
Cari Tuna and her man have known each other for years. They were set up on a blind date by a co-worker of hers back in 2009.
In 2011 they co-founded the philanthropic organization Good Ventures –which only goal is to ‘Help Humanity Thrive.’
According to Inside Philanthropy, she and Dustin met while she was reporting on Silicon Valley. They have been married since 2013.
The couple has been described as one of the leading young philanthropists in Silicon Valley.
According to Cari’s LinkedIn page, she is listed as the President of Good Ventures.
Cari is probably one of those bright minds. She attended Yale –where she wrote for the Yale Daily News –and holds a Political Science bachelor. The curly haired graduated Yale in 2008.
Almost immediately after graduation, she began reporting for the Wall Street Journal and was based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She remained with the paper until April 2011.
In 2014, she also became the managing director for Open Philanthropy. She’s been responsible for handling philanthropy for the couple.
This is not the first time Tuna has donated money to political causes.
In November 2014, Forbes reported that Cari Tuna donated $150,000 to the campaign in support of California’s Proposition 47.
