What do you do when you have too much money?

According to Hong Kong actor Chow Yun Fat, the answer is to give it all away! The actor, who has acted in many movies, including Pirates of that Caribbean Three where he played a Chinese pirate, is worth an estimated £542 million (5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars). The actor is also known for popular Asian movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In an interview, he disclosed that he would be giving the money away to charity.

“The money’s not mine,” he said, adding that his dream was “to be a happy and normal person”.

Despite the fact that he has so much money, he lives quite the frugal lifestyle. He commutes around Hong Kong by public transport, shops at discount stores, and frequently wears old clothing.

According to his wife, he used the same Nokia phone for 17 years until it finally broke down.
