His story

Your hard work has now increased by the amount of purchases goods: luxury hotels, exotic vacations, homes translated in spectacular locations. He built a fortune of over £ 3,000,000.
"For many years I believed that more wealth and luxury automatically mean more happiness," he said. "I come from a very poor family, where the rules were working harder in order to reach more than material things, and j 'I applied it for many years." But to gather for more money and more things, their love life is lacking seriously . Once on vacation in Hawaii, he could not bear, the respectful treatment he received, the isolation, which to buy him the money or the possibility of what he wanted.
Philanthropy
He decided to give it everything he had. "My idea is to have nothing. Absolutely nothing," he told reporters. "The money goes to the bar - it keeps the good fortune to come." He felt guilty during a visit to South America, thinking it was a direct link with "our" wealth and "their" poverty, for which he is responsible.
Now, his money will grant to a charitable organization of micro-credit, small loans to Latin America in countries like El Salvador, Honduras, Bolivia go, Peru, Argentina and Chile. After selling all his possessions, he planned to live in a small wooden hut in the Alps or in a small studio in a nearby town.
