The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1188 The real big philanthropist

There has always been a saying that the wealthy people in the United States are the people who like to do charity the most in the world, and there is no one of them.

If we only look at the data on paper, then this statement is undoubtedly correct. The rich people in the United States are indeed the richest people in the world who like to do charity the most.

Bill Gates donated 3/4 of his wealth to set up a charitable foundation, and Soros, who single-handedly plunged the world into a financial crisis, caused countless people to lose their homes, and committed suicide by jumping off a building, is his favorite thing to do in his life It's actually doing charity, and donating all of his wealth to charity.

In fact, in the entire United States, more than 90% of the rich have established their own charitable foundations, and more than 60% of them have donated more than half of their wealth to the charity foundation. From this point of view, the United States It really is the kingdom of angels.

But are Americans really such morally perfect saints?
Of course it is impossible, otherwise the world's wars will be reduced by at least 3/4.

The most fundamental reason for wealthy Americans to set up charitable foundations is to avoid taxation, because all kinds of activities carried out through charitable foundations are not subject to tax.

And if you donate through a charitable foundation, the amount of these donations can also be used to deduct taxes.For example, a certain future leader, sitting on a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, has set a record of paying less than $1000 in taxes in a year. The core of this is to deduct taxes through donations.

Not to mention that through charitable foundations, you can avoid inheritance tax and pass all your wealth to your son, instead of paying more than 50% of inheritance tax and so on.

And precisely because of the above-mentioned characteristics, a unique charitable style of American rich people has been formed, that is, to do charity externally.

A normal person doing charity, unless they have some special experience, the money they donate must be used for the citizens of their own country.For example, various charitable organizations in Huaxia, more than 80% of their funds are used in various charitable activities within Huaxia.

This is a very normal thing, desperately using one's own money to do charity for foreigners, that's a hell of a thing.

But the United States likes to do this. More than 80% of the charity funds in the United States are actually spent abroad, especially in very poor areas like Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

It is precisely because of this that we can often see that various rich men, politicians and their wives in the United States seldom attend domestic charity activities, but frequently appear around the world.

Today I will send rice to African children, tomorrow I will send warmth to Cambodian children, and in a few days I will send various benefits to other miserable children, and then I will take pictures, write newsletters, and send news. The whole world is moved by such great love!
How about it, do you feel very confused, this is not something that normal people can do?

There is a good saying that any seemingly weird action has its fundamental interests.

Combined with the purpose of establishing a charitable foundation mentioned above, we know that the reason why these Americans are keen to go to foreign countries for charity is to put it bluntly for money laundering.

Americans themselves are aware of the routines of Americans. Under the exposure of many magazines and media, charitable behavior in the United States is subject to more and more supervision, and various data and financials must be checked frequently. In this case , it becomes very difficult to play tricks, which is very unfavorable for these rich people to hide or transfer their property.

It would be different if I went abroad to do charity. Today I announced a donation of 10 billion US dollars to African children, and the money was transferred out with a bang, so who knows where the 10 billion US dollars went.

After all, with Africa's basically non-existent banking network and government control, it is impossible for even a god to find out the whereabouts of the funds, so that up to 10 billion US dollars of funds disappeared on the African continent.

And after waiting for a while, suddenly there was an extra 10 billion US dollars in a certain account. This money could be obtained by winning the lottery, it could be obtained in a casino, or it could be obtained by selling an antique. Anyway, it is legal income, and no one can find out the problem.

The above are the various ways Americans do charity, so why spend so much time talking about these things, of course it is to highlight the difference of Mrs. Versailles.

Because all the charity of Mrs. Versailles fell in the country, and it fell among the poorest and most pitiful groups in the United States.

Some media once announced the itinerary of Mrs. Versailles for a week.

On Monday morning, Mrs. Versailles went to the black gathering area in New York and distributed various materials worth 10 US dollars to these poor people.And it's not the kind of charity that went to the scene to ask a few black people to shake hands and take pictures, and left immediately after the photos were handed over to the media reporters. They stayed at the whole scene for less than ten minutes.

Instead, he stayed from 8:1 am to 10:1000 pm in a down-to-earth manner, and personally distributed [-] US dollars of supplies to more than [-] black compatriots. to things.

But this day's itinerary did not end. In the next four hours, she visited all the kindergartens in the entire gathering area, and finally handed over funds ranging from 4 to 1 US dollars to each kindergarten, so that These kindergartens improve the living conditions of the children as soon as possible, and these are for all the children to see with their own eyes.

That night, Mrs. Versailles left by plane. Early the next morning, she rushed to the Indian reserve, visited the Indians in the reserve, and presented them with a batch of modern agricultural production equipment.

After that, I went back to the company to deal with daily affairs, and then flew to Washington on Wednesday to participate in a large-scale rally for the rights of black compatriots, gave a speech at the rally, and donated money to the black compatriots and their families who died $30.

On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Zai appeared in court again. She has a lawyer's license and is also a human rights lawyer. She personally fought a lawsuit for a woman who was not allowed to have an abortion and defended their legitimate rights and interests.

Friday was even busier. While she was going to church, she also had to issue an application for an unexpected incident, condemning the white police for indiscriminately killing innocent people.

On Saturday and Sunday, she stayed in the border area, then commanded the construction team, and built a large area of ​​temporary buildings in a short period of time to help those children who were trapped at the border and could not leave, and provided them with better living environment, she even built a temporary hospital with her own hands.

From this one-week itinerary, it can be seen that, except for taking two or three hours to deal with company affairs, Mrs. Versailles spends almost all of her time carrying out various human rights and charity activities, and she is still practicing herself.

And this is not a deliberate false press release. People all over the United States know that these things are true, because almost all black Americans have seen Ms. Versailles with their own eyes.

It's not the kind of seeing you standing on the podium and speaking to the bottom, but standing beside yourself, kindly distributing the supplies, food, or simply cash to them, bringing them life. of hope.

And this kind of behavior is not short-lived, but has been like this since 2003. This is what moves everyone the most.

In the black community, Lady Versailles actually has a more resounding, even divine title, called the Black Angel, because in their hearts, Lady Versailles is really like an angel.

And after doing these things personally, the reputation of Mrs. Versailles in the entire United States can be imagined.Not only his black compatriots regard her as an angel, even those white people who don't like her have to admit that this woman's moral character is so noble that she can't be faulted, she is simply a saint in the world.

To put it bluntly, the prestige of Mrs. Versailles in the United States at this time is no less than that of Martin Luther King, and it is the kind accepted by the whole people. The church in the United States even applied to the Vatican at one time, expressing the hope that it can The title of saint given to Lady Versailles.

This is not a joke, but the church really wants to do this, because they really feel the emergence of a threat, and these things will be discussed later.

All in all, the status and prestige of Mrs. Versailles in the United States is definitely the first. To put it bluntly, if she announces to join a certain political party and then runs for the general, I am afraid that the next general will be her.

Of course, since Mrs. Versailles did not join any political party, it is probably impossible for her to be elected as the Grand Commander.

It is precisely because of the prestige and status of Mrs. Versailles in the entire United States that Bezos was shocked when he saw Mrs. Versailles waiting for him by his car. Will meet this character.

"Mr. Bezos, please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit!" Mrs. Versailles said in a soft voice. Bezos quickly said that she would not trouble her, and then looked at the other party curiously, not knowing what this person's purpose was.

"I'm going to attend a solidarity event for third-gender people in an hour, so I'll make a long story short!" Mrs. Versailles said, "Mr. Bezos, I am very optimistic about your business ability, and you just happened to lose I got a job, so I hope to invite you to join our American Priority Group and become the vice president of our company."

"Actually, I hope you can directly become the president of our company, but there are still some procedures to go through in the process. Maybe by this time next year, you will be our president!" Mrs. Versailles said her purpose.
