Albert Gubay made a ‘Pact with God’ and became a billionaire. Or so he says. It seems that he was once a man with almost nothing and now has generated billions of dollars. Most the money he has made, he has donated to charity.

Gubay is a Roman-Catholic who made a ‘Pact with God’ when he was close to penniless, selling candy in Wales after World War II. He promised God that if he ever became rich, he would donate half his money to charity. And that is precisely what he is doing. In fact, sources say that he is donating MOST of his fortune to charity.

Gubay is the founder of the British supermarket chain ‘Kwik Save’. He later accumulated development properties in Liverpool and Manchester.

He has told the British Daily Mail that he is targeting donating $1.5 Billion to charities in the next few years. He says that he wants to carry on supporting good causes which has helped him be a good businessman. ‘Every penny wasted or lost reduces the pot available to the charity,’ he has said.

The 82-year-old Gubay was ranked at number 880 in the Forbes richest men in the world list. He is said to be worth $1.1 billion. His entire business empire has been placed in trust for the Albert Gubay Charitable Foundation. The net worth is estimated at $690 million.

Gubay lives on Isle of Man with his second wife. He has two children from his first marriage.

  1. No one can EVER outgive God! When He is put first, He opens the floodgates with blessings (not only
    financial) that are immeasurable.

  2. So true. I agree with Toni Nash.

  3. I enjoyed this story….could have done without the little ‘sermonette’ from Commenter 1. I think most people with that much wealth, earned the old fashioned way, would be just as generous.

  4. for scripture says,”God delights in my prosperity. He gives me power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant upon the earth”. Deuteronomy 8:18
    according to 3 John 1:2; “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth;, “But thou shall remember the Lord thy God; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” According to Deut. 8:1; “…but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” According to Mark 11:23; “and these are they which sown on good ground; such as hear the Word and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, some sixty, and some a hundred.” According to Mark 4:20 “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; but he that openeth wide hes lips shall have destruction.” According to Proverbs 13:3 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.” “But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” according to Philippians 4:13, 19; “But this I say, he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”

  6. You give all you have, the Lord can give you more. Says in the bible to give what you purpose to give. I would not be ashamed of giving away half my savings – the more money you have the harder it gets.
