Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star Chow Yun-fat, 63 years old, is planning on donating his $714 million fortune to charity.
“My dream is to be a happy and normal person,” he said. “The hardest thing in life is not about how much money you earn, but how to keep a peaceful mindset and live the rest of your life in a simple and carefree manner.”
The actor had previously claimed that he only spent approximately $102 a month on himself. He was accustomed to using the same Nokia phone for more than 17 years until he finally got a smartphone two years ago, yet that was only because the Nokia stopped working.
He has also been spotted shopping at discount stores.
“I don’t wear clothes for other people,” Chow told Jayne Stars. “As long as I think it’s comfortable, then it’s good enough for me.”
When it comes to his reason for giving away his amassed fortune, Chow said, “The money’s not mine. I’m only keeping it safe for the time being.”
In China, Chow is famous for his work in John Woo movies like A Better Tomorrow, The Killer and Hard Boiled. American audiences may know him best as Li Mu Bai in Ang Lee’s 2000 movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
There are a few celebrities with genuinely golden hearts. These people make the world a little brighter place to live in.
He should set up 100 permiculture food forests all around the world even at schools ,instead of giving it to reseach . People will have jobs, education, self sustainably and better health because of it.
