Chinese action star Chow Yun-fat is planning on donating his $714 million fortune to charity. Surprisingly, Charity isn’t the name of a stripper he’s been banging on the side. Huh.
My dream is to be a happy and normal person,” Yun-fat recently told Hong Kong movie site Jayne Stars. “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 same site reported that Chow Yun-fat only spends $102 a month living like a peasant on discount clothes, an old Nokia phone, taking public transportation and doing charity work. He spends his free time hiking and doing whatever else it is poor people do.

Celebrities can learn a lot from this man. Not sure what it is, but I’m sure it’s something.
