talking about millionaires. the more money they have the harder it is to give away. why? they feel they work so hard for it, so why give away. you want money, go and work and earn your keeps. that is the way it is, i noticed. by the way, they become millonaires, because as some one puts it as 'they are stingy and they save every bit they have'. giving money away just like that is very painful, so why give then? unless they have a projects or projects closed to their hearts. in this world, there are millionaires who give away plenty of money like million of dollars away to charities such as bill gates in usa. yet he is still very rich as he knows the laws of sowing and reaping. there are many millionaires in the world who are pilanthropists, giving to the poor, the needy, the destitues, the aliens, outcasts and the poor widows. yet others give towards the green environment and to develope the poor and third world countries. there are others who give to tsunami, flood and earthquakes victims. yes millionaires can own fantastic properties, yachts, private jet planes etc as they work hard at making millions but some of them still have a hearts of gold, as they are giving.they are so blessed and they are a blessing to others. God gives them grace and favours, umit.

I know some millionaires out there are soft hearted and they do give help whenever they can by supporting charities, giving donations, doing something for a good cause, etc. We should never generalize people, whether rich or not, as there are bad people and good people everywhere from all walks of life. Just look at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

i think this is good thing to help poors. but there are many who does. and also all poors are not needy some people are there who does not want to work and just become poor to get the help of others. and that is only the reason that many rich people dont go ahead to work for them.

I believe they do, they just dont know how.For example people who owns a huge company group of millionares business men , they own alot of businesses and establishments these said businesses are the ones employing people who are not lucky enough to be born rich.
I believe most of these people millionares that is are very much busy most of the times thats why they just cant go out and help anybody out .And i also believe that its not right for those poor ones to expect help from the rich ones, yes occasionally they can ask for some but they have to learn and earn for their own ;)

yeah well even if they help out anybody they do for their own shelfish means!its really very true that statiscal survey has confirmed if the rich people start weeding out of their wealth for the poors then there will be no poor left in this world!

There are some good people who have made millions and are helping the poor to overcome their poverty... The good part of the story is many such millionares help the poor kids to go to good schools and learn better or they help a poor but skilled worker to set up his own business... This kind of help actually makes a man self-reliable and earning on his own...
But there is a bad part of this story too... Many of such rich people, help the poors with cash, or food, or cloths on daily basis.. I know you are shocked, but I have seen such things here. This is improper.. This makes them (the poor ones) lazy... If one knows that he is going to receive food everyday twice at a certain spot, he would never work for food. And also, they are given cash and cloths from time to time, which assures them everything. This kind of help isn't help, actually; this is a process of making them lazy ...

A small selection of millionaires do charity work in order to help the poor people or the disadvantaged folk. There is a television program called 'The Secret Millionaire' and it is an excellent thing to watch. In it a millionaire goes under cover and pretends to be someone else. He or she gets involved with finding three different needed causes. Like one helped a center for teenage parents in a deprived area and another helped a charity giving food to homeless people. They give away thousands of pounds.

Yes i think that is quite selfish. It doesn't take alot to give to someone with nothing most times than not and nearly always when choosing the right things, the person with nothing will appreciate anything. It is stupid to put urself out but when you have so much 2 spare most donations to charities can be written off in tax. I think its important to remember your roots and those times you have had nothing don't go crazy but dont be selfish.

Not all of them are like that somebody has the helping hands to the less fortunate people. But most of them are not I accept. Because they don't know the feelings of the poor or others are thinking that those poor people are lazy and they are not working properly that is why they unlucky for so many things. But most of then are the giving their help through foundations. They are kind too.

Some people are rather greedy. Especially those who have a lot. It is just an unfortunate fact of life. Millionaires simply think in many cases that the common man is beneath their notice. Perhaps they believe they should be making their own way in life and not live off the money that is given by others. Not exactly the nicest thing in the world and I am not justifying it, but in many ways that can be true.
Still much like with any other person, there are generous millionaires. Those who know that they have money to spare. So they can give it to help those less fortunate. Of course, those are those who give money to only help their public image and nothing more. However, what can you do there. Even the kindest act could be self serving and while it is appreciated, you just wonder if there is some kind of motive beyond just being nice. Still regardless, those people are giving money, which is more that can be say for certain people.

It depends on the person I guess...Not all rich people are that careless...but I guess there are people who still think that why bother to give food to someone?They would be hungry on the next day..I hate that kind of view..

Let's classify millionaires into 2 kinds, those who has helped the poor and those has not. Fot the first classification, they have recognized that they actrually have social responsibily to fund the poor when getting rich enough. For the second classification, I conclude 2 reasons.
1:There are too many poor and only a small part of millionare, so even if they have donated all their account, it is not enough to help those poor. Then some of them simply do not help others.
2:The desire for having money is inexhausible, so millionares will not donate even 1 dollar to the poor because they simply want more and more.

well its pretty obvious i think,
if the rich hand out money to random people, there will still be people that also want money and might even threaten those rich peops.
it's pretty unsafe to just hand out cash, you'll never know who visits your house the day after.
