While many just say they care about the world, some people really do.

Meet Richard Chandler, a New Zealand Billionaire and he’s the 701st richest person in the world. Chandler’s philanthropic passion to making the world a better place excedes to US$100 million. What a guy!

Richard Chandler has heavily invested in India to help educate the poor. While Hollywood stares through our silver screens at Slumdog Millionaire misfortunes of the poor, it is this New Zealander, Richard Chandler, who is actually doing something about it. He started this trend years ago. Props Kiwi brother! Rock on! You are the fulfillment of what Barack Obama is talking about in the world. It’s heartening to see a billionaire who believes in the concept of PROSPERITY TO ALL! Nice work Kiwi! In a global recession, the billlionaire philanthropist is perhaps the greatest star on the earth in our modern times. Props to you brotha. Shouting out from Hollywood, in the City of Angels to a true star on the earth. Nice job! Keep on inspiring with great leadership. Hopefully Chandler’s Indian brothers and sister billionaires are also following suit with investing into the poor in India too. There are a LOT of Indian billionaires in the world. That’s a good sign for the global economy.
