MoreThis is a reply to # 1,461,556What an absolutely beautiful message. Michael was in the Guiness Book of records of the pop star to give the most charity in access of 500 million dollars.
I have heard time and time again about how kind and sweet he was. A true gentle soul.
Rest in peace Michael.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,461,580yup, no entertainer has donated as much to as many charities as Michael Jackson has.
He truly obviosly really tried to do our world some good, not just donate to charity like most wealthy people are advised to do for tax exemption purposes.
He went way above and beyond in his generosity, just like his music and dancing went far above everyone else in that field.

As the world continues to mourn the loss of a great artist, the Guiness World Record book remembers Michael Jackson instead as the king of charity.The Millenium issue listed the music legend under Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star, with a staggering 39 international organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Those are only the known ones however, as Jackson was also prone to giving away impulsively and anonymously.
Jackson had been known to hand over the proceeds from concerts to local charities and hospitals as he did with the History tour in Bombay, or donate personal items for auction to organisations like UNESCO. It’s been estimated he may have given up to $500 million to charity in his lifetime.
In addition to his charity work, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had more Guiness world records than any other artist, including Most Successful Concert Series and Biggest Selling Album for Thriller.

This is a reply to # 1,461,652ARRIGHT!
Thank you! I was meaning to look that up!!!! I will copy and forward to my friends.
I also read that MJ would go to homeless shelters and give them money and clothing, just on a whim.
Imaging a ragged homeless guy, all of a sudden he owns a dazzling wardrobe of sequined jackets and gloves!
Just kidding.
That is the story I liked, because he didn't do the "on a whim" donations to brag about and impress the public or make a big deal about, that is just something that he liked to do when he travelled around.
What an amazing person.- Re: Guiness Book of Records - Michae... mo123
