After a trip to Malaysia, the hilarious Russell Brand has pledged to give all his fortune to charity.
The comedian writes, ‘Im proud to say that after a relatively short period of wealth I now recognize the insufficiency of personal privilege in a world with so much poverty,’ but then goes on to say, he may not give it away right now, but he will when he is ready.
It’s easy to understand why Russell Brand would want to give his fortune away to charity after traveling to a financially disadvantaged country, it may be more helpful for him to make a maintainable commitment, like an ongoing gift of finance or time, to a development agency like Oxfam International or UNICEF.
