Ukraine's Richest Man Launches His Third Stage of Charity

I very much like these words: "Charity speaks with a quiet voice." That's why I would quietly reach for my pocket and help those in need. That was my credo. That was my first stage of charity. But, unfortunately, in our country, we have systemic problems. And no one can solve them with a quiet voice. So today, right at this moment, there starts my third stage of charity — a stage of my own personal responsibility. Why did I come to this decision? It's because I will practice charity at all times.

— Rinat Akhmetov, net worth: $14.6 billion, according to Fokus magazine, the Ukrainian equivalent of Forbes

Ukraine's richest man is an ethnic Tatar whose family is from Tatarstan. That's why many Russians and Ukrainians don't like him. It's nothing but envy.

He's a gangster, killer, psycho-maniak and so on, and now he is talking about charity. It's funny
