Philanthropy[edit]

Saw David Booth's profile on facesofphilanthropy.com and noticed his Wiki article was missing a philanthropy section, so I added one. Sir. Somerset (talk) 23:09, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections & Additions[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Dimensional Fund Advisors and David G. Booth, I'd like to make the following revisions to this article.

Delete the political party field from the infobox as the citation used does not meet BLP: Reliable sources guidelines.

Add to third sentence in lead:

In 2008, he donated $300 million in the form of a combination of an up-front payment, equity interest and income stream^[1] to the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business...

Replace in his honor in second to last sentence in lead with to the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.

The citation used in the Family section does not support the information given there. Booth is no longer married to Suzanne Deal.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Dimensional Fund Advisors and David G. Booth, I'd like to make the following revisions to this article.

In the second paragraph of the Career section, the sentence that begins with "The fund focuses on investment strategies..." should say firm instead of fund as the firm has several funds.

Also in the second paragraph of the Career section, the firm manages $517 billion as of December 31, 2018, [1] not $586 billion as stated.

The citation used in the Family section does not support any of the information given there. Booth is no longer married to Suzanne Deal.
