Tory Ashcroft to give away half his £1.2bn fortune
......but not to the Tories......
Lord Ashcroft will sign up to the Giving Pledge, by which billionaires give away most of
their wealth
THE billionaire and Tory peer Lord Ashcroft is to pledge at least half of his £1.2bn fortune to
charity as he joins a philanthropic movement led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, America's
two richest men.
The former Tory treasurer, who has given the party £10m but will not help to fund its general
election campaign, will next month sign up to the Giving Pledge, a public commitment by
billionaires to give away the majority of their wealth.
Another six of Britain's super-rich have already made the pledge. Based on their current wealth
the seven donors, including Sir Richard and Lady Branson, John Caudwell, and Michael Moritz
and Harriet Heyman, have pledged a combined £3.7bn.
