Conrad Prebys is one of CA's givingest donors, with $150m going to "an eclectic host of causes"; this interview sheds light on what motivates him.
"Thus far Prebys — who made his money constructing, buying and running apartment complexes — has donated more than $150 million to an eclectic host of causes since 2007. Gifts such as the $45 million contribution that helped to build the heart institute and a recent $25 million commitment to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, also in La Jolla, hint at past medical struggles." -- Paul Sisson, the San Diego Union-Tribune
