Click HERE.
Possible to use this piece of info as open or closing BANG, or as an example to support ur point on increasing trend of philanthropy nowadays.......
When it comes to Qns on philanthropy and charity, Tim Cook is the latest examples after people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jackie Chan, Lee Kah Shing, etc....
Warren Buffet has previously pledged to give away 99% of his fortune to philanthropy during his life time, leaving only 1% for his family. He has also been actively campaigning for the rich to donate their fortunes and to pay higher taxes....
Jackie Chan has also announced before to the press that he will 'luo juan' (literally, donate until 'naked'), not leaving even a cent to his son.
Tim Cook is also a member of the LGBT community, having come out of the closet last year....useful example of a LGBT in the corporate world, as most of those we know are in showbusiness.
