"He left me, unbeknownst to me, a whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock," Gottesman told The New York Times.
She would donate the money in full to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York's poorest borough, the Times reported.
Advertisement"I wanted to fund students at Einstein so that they would receive free tuition," she told the Times.
Her gift is so large that it will cover students' tuition to the medical school in perpetuity, Albert Einstein College of Medicine said in a press release.
A year's tuition at the school costs over $59,000, leaving many graduates with more than $200,000 in debt, the Times reported.
