Despite being a superstar and multi-millionaire, Chow Yun-fat, 63, remains a modest man. The actor, who has earned international acclaim for his role in the Chinese action film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” has revealed that he’s planning to donate his entire fortune, reportedly US$714 million, to various charities after he dies.

When asked why he made this decision, Chow explained to South Korea’s Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, “This money isn’t something you possess forever. When you’re gone one day, you have to leave it to others to use it.”
