  Good ol`boy gives elderly £ 100 million.............
  
  A tycoon handed over his entire fortune to be top of list of Britain's philanthropists
  
  .after handing over his companies to a charitable trust to the benefit of the islands older people.
  
  EVERY Christmas David Kirch hands out £100 of Co-op shopping vouchers to each
  
  Jersey resident aged over 70 at a personal cost of £1m.
  
  That would be philanthropy enough for most people but now the property developer,
  
  who has lived on Jersey since 1973, has also pledged his £100m fortune to the island's elderly.
  
  The gift, prompted by his diagnosis with prostate cancer, propels him to the top of this
  
  year's Sunday Times Giving List, to be published alongside the Rich List next Sunday.
  
  Kirch, 76, is an unlikely multimillionaire. He drives a Mini and recently moved out of a
  
  six-bedroom mansion into a smaller property in the grounds
  
  . He still works for his property business, having been declared in remission
  
  last year, but does not draw a salary
