Sandy Weill, the billionaire banker and former CEO of Citigroup, has focused much of his efforts on philanthropy since leaving the bank two decades ago. His most recent donation, a $120 million gift to the veterinary school at the University of California, Davis—the largest ever for veterinary medicine—hits especially close to home. Weill and his wife, Joan, were inspired to support the school after it took care of their bichon frisé, Angel, who died in 2018. They’ve since gotten another dog, Sweet Pea, of the same breed.
