Meta cofounder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife, former journalist Cari Tuna, have pledged to give away their combined fortune of $20 billion, with a significant portion already donated. The couple, who met in 2009, has donated more than $4 billion to date, including over $600 million in 2025 alone. Their philanthropic efforts aim to distribute their wealth as quickly as possible.
Moskovitz, 41, co-founded Facebook in the early 2000s alongside Mark Zuckerberg, transforming the startup into a global tech empire. Tuna, 40, a former Wall Street Journal journalist, met Moskovitz in 2009 while covering enterprise tech and California's economy on an entry-level salary. Moskovitz's philanthropic mindset was evident early on, and Tuna turned that vision into action. "We're trying to give away as much as we can, as quickly as we can," Tuna said in a statement.
The couple's philanthropic efforts have been significant, with donations exceeding $4 billion. In 2025 alone, they have donated over $600 million. Their goal is to make a meaningful impact on various causes, including education, healthcare, and environmental conservation. "We're not just giving money; we're trying to create systemic change," Moskovitz said in a statement.
Moskovitz's background in tech and Tuna's experience as a journalist have provided a unique perspective on philanthropy. Their approach focuses on addressing the root causes of social and environmental issues rather than just treating symptoms. "We're trying to be strategic and intentional about how we give," Tuna said.
The couple's philanthropic efforts have garnered attention from the tech industry and beyond. Their approach has been praised for its focus on creating systemic change. "Dustin and Cari's commitment to giving away their wealth is a testament to the power of philanthropy," said a spokesperson for the Giving Pledge, a group of billionaires who have pledged to give away the majority of their wealth.
As the couple continues to distribute their wealth, their philanthropic efforts are expected to have a significant impact on various causes. Their commitment to creating systemic change has set a new standard for philanthropy in the tech industry. With over $15 billion remaining to be donated, the couple's efforts are likely to continue making headlines in the years to come.
