Those of us who have yet to find philanthropy may find there is a far greater reward from it than from wealth creation. I will give away at least half my wealth during my lifetime and after my death.

About Me

John Caudwell founded mobile phone retailer Phones 4u before selling his stake in 2006 and 2011. Born into a working-class family, he and brother Brian first started selling mobile phones in 1987. Six years later the brothers founded Singlepoint, a mobile service provider that was acquired by Vodafone in 2003 for $650 million. Caudwell pumped his share of the money into Phones 4u, which grew into the U.K.'s largest independent mobile phone retailer. Three years later he sold a majority stake to Providence Equity Partners for $2.8 billion and, in 2011, unloaded the remaining 25% for $272 million.
