MSN has a slideshow of The top 10 most generous Brits, celebrities and businessmen who have donated to good causes. Number two on the list is Albert Gubay.
According to his biographers, a broke Albert Gubay made a promise to God that he would share half his wealth with the Almighty if he became a millionaire.
As the man behind Kwik Save, Gubay went on to amass a fortune. Objective achieved, he has gone on to donate £470 million to charity. And he's not finished yet. "I want to carry on supporting good causes, but my whole focus in the next few years is to work as hard as I can to meet my target of a £1 billion charity," he says.

According to an entry in Wikipedia, Mr. Gubay was born to a Jewish father and an Irish-born Roman Catholic mother. I learned from the video below that Mr. Gubay donated millions to the Roman Catholic church, fulfilling a pledge he had made earlier. Perhaps, he would like to contribute to the houses of worship of his father's faith, as well.
