Aside from Michael Jackson’s outstanding musical success and the controversies surrounding his life, the King of Pop was also known for his generosity both in life and death. In 2000, he was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for the category of “Most Charities Supported By a Pop Star.” He was involved in more than 40 organizations ranging from nonprofits to activism. He was also known to perform lesser-known acts of generosity consistently throughout his life such as donating wheelchairs for kids with disabilities and more. Following his death, it was written in his will that 20 percent of his trust’s earning be donated to charity as well which make sit hard to disagree with his generosity.
