Kim to support education causes. In 2010, he donated $7.5 million to establish a new dorm at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, where he studied English as an undergraduate. The dorm was completed in 2012 and was named Kim Hall as a tribute to his father, Kim Ki-yong, a scholar who passed away 20 years ago from lung disease. In 2018, Kim donated $7 million to endow an associate professorship at Harvard Business School, another alma mater. “Education is the engine for changing the world,” Kim says by email.

Kim founded his buyout firm in 2005 after leading the Asia arm of U.S. private equity giant Carlyle Group. Two years later, he launched the MBK Scholarship Foundation, one of the first nonprofits in Korea to award education grants on the basis of financial need versus merit-based scholarships. More than 150 MBK scholars to date have received full tuition to attend the country’s universities.
