The Australian tycoon in the mining industry donated almost $ 300 million to charity. This is the largest amount in the history of the country, received from a private person. His money will go to provide medical assistance to the poor, to educational projects, as well as to combat modern slavery.

Andrew Forrest, tycoon:.

"I stand here as your servant. Me and my wife, Nicholas, are very fortunate: we have saved up the fortune and now we can give something back. Before, our business model was not very functional. We lent money to give them away. But now, thanks to the strong iron ore sector, we do not need to do this anymore ".

The Prime Minister of Australia praised Andrew Forrest, whose company is the fourth largest in the world in terms of the volume of mining of iron ore.
