Billionaire Fulfills Pact with God

A billionaire in the last stages of his life has made a huge donation that he hopes "fulfills his pact with God."

The billionaire, Albert Gubay of England, made a vow way back during World War 2.

Even though he was impoverished and destitute at the time, he still envisioned himself being rich, and made a promise to God.

He said if he ever did get money, he would be sure to give over half his fortune to the Catholic church.

And now that he is an 82 year old retail mogul, he is being true to his word!

The billionaire founder of a British supermarket chain is donating most of his fortune to charity to fulfill a "pact with God." Albert Gubay, a penniless candy seller in Wales after World War II, says he made a vow with God at the time to hand over half his fortune to the Catholic Church if he ever became rich. Gubay went on to found the Kwik Save grocery chain and later accumulated development properties in Liverpool and Manchester.
