Now Chow has revealed his decision to give away his fortune, which is reported to be HK$5.6bn (£565m). 

"This money isn't something you possess forever," he told South Korea's Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation.

"When you're gone one day, you have to leave it to others to use it.

 

"You can't bring the money in your bank account with you after you die," Chow added, saying his wife "strongly supports" the decision.

 

The gap between rich and poor in Hong Kong was at its widest last year for almost half a century....

There are many good actors but all of them are not good people. But in general artists tend to be good people.
