Billionaire Wants to Die Poor

Jon Huntsman Sr. is the founder and chairman of Huntsman Corporation an a billionaire who has pledged to give away all of his life's earnings to charity.

Huntsman has already given away 80% of his earnings to the Huntsman Cancer Institute Utah, which adds up to almost 2 billion dollars. He wants to help fight cancer because he has had it 4 times during his lifetime and his mother passed away from it. Huntsman doesn't believe that public funding for cancer forwards the research. He stated that “We’ve tried to have public and private partnerships but you know it’s hard to work with a bureaucracy."  Huntsman will continue to donate his wealth to find a cure to cancer. 

This is one heartfelt story. Mr. Huntsman is doing a great justice by giving up all of his earnings to charity. He, in my opinion, is a hero. He is willing to live with no money at all, at the end of his life, so that other people can live and benefit. I wish there were more people that understand Huntsman's decision and not criticize him. He has lived his whole life with wealth and wants others who weren't, to also have that experience.
