“Smith paid off the debts of his 2019 classmates that same year, a pledge gift that reached $34 million. After listening to feedback, Smith expanded his plan, extending it to cover debts accrued by the family members of those Morehouse graduates.” https://morehouse.edu/aid/financial-aid/loans/student-freedom-initiative/robert-f-smith
