NOT SCAM, This is Real: Millionaire Gives Away 3 million Pounds!
- 2-14-2010
- Categorized in: Knowledge Sharing, Scam News 2010
This is a real story from the news (not about a scam). He says that "money does not buy him happiness", but we are sure money will make many people happy.

An Austrian millionaire named Karl Rabeder has decided to give away his £3 million fortune . He came to the conclusion that having money wasn't making him any happier, just more miserable. In this article from the UK, Rabeder talks about how his background, growing up in a poor family, affected his quest for wealth. Because they didn't have much, he learned to work hard to achieve the material things the family didn't have. But once he became wealthy, he realized that his wealth made him detached from reality. Watching the staff at a fancy resort while on a recent Hawaiian vacation, he and his wife "...Had the feeling we hadn't met a single real person – that we were all just actors. The staff played the role of being friendly and the guests played the role of being important and nobody was real." He believed there was a correlation between his wealth and the poverty of those in less developed countries. So he decided to give it all up. He is selling his furnishing and house in Provence and raffling off his luxury villa in the Alps, with all the money going to his microcredit charity. His charity offers small loans and helps self-employed people with business development in Latin America. Rabeder will not even be taking a salary from these charities, but is clear that he's only doing what is right for him, not making judgments on others. I thought this was very interesting. Coming from a less than affluent family (to say the least!), I understand that drive for material possessions and financial security. When you're struggling to pay the bills, it's really easy to focus on money as the solution. And I do believe that there is a certain amount of money that makes you happier. The fact is that struggling to pay the bills or feed your family is incredibly stressful and while it may be "character building," it's nothing to aspire to. For me personally, a lot of what I'm doing in driven by a need to become successful enough to take care of my parents while not having to worry about my own bills. I'll have to give people like Rabeder the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their issues with being wealthy and the hardships it creates, since I have a hard time even putting my mind in that place. So if being poor doesn't make you happy, and being very wealthy doesn't make you happy, is there a "sweet spot? Is there an amount of money possible that offers an optimal level of happiness? |

i would like to tell you a little bit of "LUKE Orphanage Home"
Starting Year: We are children's orphanage and home in NIGERIA. My
name is Officer.Luke and I am also a church pastor. This orphanage was
started with 5 children. The Lord has been so good upon this ministry
and He has provided us a property for this ministry. Now, there are
1500 children and 3 helpers at this orphanage. The children are from
different ethnic groups. Some of the orphans are from different
religions and some of them are christian background. There are many
children to be reached for Christ across the country. Many children do
not have a place to stay, clothes to put on or food to eat and live on
the street, asking for help. Their cry goes up to heaven and the Lord
hears them. We need your support. I want you to take responsibility
for this home and you can do fund raising for this orphanage. The
orphanage is not so far to large streets.
Condition: The children who do not come to an orphanage develop bad
habits as they are living in the street. Some christian children
become poor, because they do not have place to stay, no clothes, no
food to eat and live on the street, can not go to School. I find the
children that do not have parents and invite them to come to our home.
The children parents are death because of disease, sometimes father
die and mother re-marriage again and she left her children, some die
because of Nargis Cyclone.
There are many orphans in Nigeria. We do not have any contact or
support from abroad. We survive ourselves fund raise from some
churches within our country. As you know our country is not so good in
economy and we did not get enough for children. We are sometime facing
many difficulties. Expenditure: We spend for each child: 1. for food,
clothes, education 2. staff 100x2 3.
House rent Plan:
1. To accept at least 2000 orphans
2. To build dormitories for boys and girls
3. To build dinning, chapel and study room
4. To build a dormitory for widows Vision:
The vision of this ministry is to reach the crying children and bring
them to Christ, provide them food and education, help them to grow
spiritually, physically, intellectually and train them to become
witnesses of Jesus Christ. Invitation: You all are invited and welcome
to help finance this orphanage and pray for the many crying children
on the streets. So that they and their family will be reached for
Christ. We invite you to be part of the ministry both prayerfully and
financially. Please pray with us. Word of thank: On behalf of the
orphanage, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our
beloved friends whose help and pray for this ministry. I would also
like to say word of thank to our friends who give me the best advice
and pray for us. I would appreciate your help so feel welcome. Please
let me know what time do you want to HELP us you can share what God
give you talent for His ministry and what kind of ministry do you want
to share ( for example. Bible training, health education training
etc.). In Nigeria the quest to survive is very hard so, please help us
out.
May God bless all of you abundantly. Please help us. visit us via email:<email%3Alukeophanagehome@gmail.com>

This man is from Austria, I don't think he can read english very well, althoug hit is a second language in most countries. This site does not probably have any contact with Mr. Rabeder; nor does Mr. Rabeder check this site, if at all. I highly doubt that posting on this site will get his attention. If anything he will donate it to a charity or something. Those people who are writing their letters, should actually try and write to him. I doubt they would get a response though.
Dear Mr. Rabeder,
Wow! What an incredible thing that you are doing. Well, I am a teacher of thirty-six years. My collegues were just sitting around the teachers lounge just discusing how sad it is that maybe when we retire we're not sure our retirement "such as it is" will even be there. In Oklahoma we are 49th in the nation as low paid teachers. I'm not complaining because I love my job and the kids. It just seems to me that all the time and effort that I've put in educating children my career could possible have a happy ending with your generosity. I would love to retire soon and what quality time I have left on this beautiful earth, I would like to get out of debt, travel a bit, make life earier for my three children and help other children in need. Feel free to amaze me so I can fulfill some of my bucket list dreams.
Sincerely,
Kay Luna
Is this a scam?
My son wants to be a preacher but he is racking up the student loans. I am concerned.
A scholarship at Central Bible School in Springfield, Mo to help him accomplish that and spread the gospel would be a wonderful thing. Pastors should not have to worry about money as they go out to the world and serve. He does not like to beg for money but I am not above asking when I know that the money will be used for the Lord Jesus Christ to forward His message to hurting people that could feel better if they only had a relationship with Jesus. God is who has gotten me through when others have let me down. Central Bible College has their own website and there should be someone there to help make scholarships. They are hoping to set up a scholarship to pay for all pastors to complete their Senior year of school. The completion of the first 3 years would prove that the students are truly commited. Please look into it. My son will be a senior next year.
Thank you.
