Manoj Bhargava, CEO of 5-hour-energy, has decided that he will be giving away 99% of his $4billion fortune to various charities.

His chosen charity produces world changing products such as a stationary bike generator.

‘Service to others seems the only intelligent choice for the use of wealth. The other choices especially personal consumption, seem either useless or harmful,’ he said.

The billionaire has also signed up to the The Giving Pledge, which is an organisation where wealthy people promise to donate the majority of their fortune to good causes.

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are also members, so he’s not on his own.

Despite giving 99% of his fortune, he will still have a rather modest £30m in his bank account.
