He also gave more than $700million in gifts to health causes ranging from a $270million grant to improve public healthcare in Vietnam to a $176million gift to the Global Brain Health Institute at the University of California, San Francisco. One of his final gifts was a $350million donation for Cornell to build a technology campus on New York City’s Roosevelt Island. 'Chuck was a cornerstone in terms of inspiration for the Giving Pledge,' Warren Buffett said. 'He's a model for us all. It's going to take me 12 years after my death to get done what he's doing within his lifetime.' 'Chuck created a path for other philanthropists to follow. I remember meeting him before starting the Giving Pledge. He told me we should encourage people not to give just 50 percent but as much as possible during their lifetime. No one is a better example of that than Chuck. Many people talk to me about how he inspired them. It is truly amazing,' Bill Gates said. He kept aside $2million for his and his wife's retirement. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8735943/Billionaire-Duty-Free-Shoppers-founder-broke-giving-away-8billion-fortune.html?ito=social-facebook 144 Likes 16 Shares

He's had an encounter with Jesus.. Luke 18:22 So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Mark 8:36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 474 Likes 43 Shares |

This is the real philanthropy. I know I can never do this. Never. I will still hold like 1 billion dollars, not part with every cent. For that reason I am in awe of this man. 202 Likes 13 Shares |

Well done sir. I believe you've discovered the very truth which is, no matter how rich one becomes, your wealth will never follow you to the afterlife. Kudos to you, sir. 123 Likes 6 Shares |

This man is a real philanthropist. Wealth is overrated . it is useless to you when you are gone,unless your children and family members inherit them. With the little you have now try to help the needy and the less privilege ones around you ,and if you don't have much be contended with what you have . For What shall it profit a Man to gain the World and lose his soul to hell 124 Likes 7 Shares |
