How much is LKY donating?

Didn't you read the correct media? LKY had donated his entire life to Singapore. Don't be ungrateful! Don't be too greedy!

Many of us have worked passionately in our jobs too, working to 1, 2 or 3 am last time. Always thinking of the job even when resting. Was he the only one with job passion? But only his job can be called donating his entire life to Singapore. The rest of Singaporeans are just expected to work hard in our jobs.

Some people think they are the only kind ones while other people are self serving. This type of people should ask themselves this question, how much of their fortune are they donating to charity?

If not like these rich angmohs who donate majority to charity, then don't talk big and look down on others as self serving. Whatever you do is self serving for yourself and family. Only give free empty talk and hot air.

And since I ask others to answer this question themselves, this is a question that I can answer myself too. I have done a will to donate big percentage to charity since a long time ago.

Tim Cook to donate his fortune to charity

By Sophia Yan @sophia_yan

Apple CEO Tim Cook is giving hundreds of millions of dollars to charity.

Cook, who is close to becoming a billionaire, says he will pay for his nephew's college education, then donate the rest of his wealth to philanthropic projects, according to Fortune.

Cook isn't the first top executive to give his money away.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates launched The Giving Pledge in 2010 -- a campaign to persuade billionaires to give at least half of their fortunes to charity. More than a hundred have signed up so far, including Michael Bloomberg and Facebook (FB, Tech30)'s Mark Zuckerberg.
Others, like Cook, are going their own way. Last year, Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) co-founder Jack Ma started a multi-billion dollar charity.
Cook certainly has plenty of funds to give away. His pay at Apple (AAPL, Tech30) more than doubled last year to $9.2 million, according to a regulatory filing. In 2014, $145 million worth of stock awards vested, and he's got another $536 million in stock awards to come.

If the donations only ended this year or last year, then it may be him. So obviously it's not and for those of us who know better, we should not expect it. :biggrin:

In the 80s and 90s, the LianHeZaoBao used to publish news on large sums of donations made anonymously. Then I hear of it no more :o:o:o

Yes Asian mega rich should learn from the angmoh mega rich to donate the majority of their fortune to charity to return to the society that they take from. Afterall leaving a small percentage is already enough for the descendants to live a very good life.
