it was reported in the taiwanese media that one of taiwan's business tycoons, mr samuel yin has pledged to donate 95% of his wealth to charity after he dies.
although he has not publicly disclosed the value of his assets, mr yin's wealth is estimated to be worth an estimated Tw$95 billion ($3.2 billion).
and mr yin who is 60 years old said:
"I've mentioned this to my family, and they've all agreed with me."
the billionaire's pledge is the biggest ever of it's kind in taiwan.
my comments:
God bless mr samuel yin richly for his most magnanimous selfless giving of almost his entire wealth to charity.
in the Christmas season, the real reason for the season is God's gift of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ and how apt to know of this person's gift to his fellow homo sapiens.
i have known wealthy businessmen/businesswomen who has similarly bequeathed their wealth to charity but alas, they are too few and too little.
some of these people have taken up insurance policies to leave their legacy to the masses who have been marginalised by society and my wish for this Christmas Season is to see more of the wealthy doing the same.
after all, no one needs to be reminded tis the season of giving.
Merry Christmas!
