Of the charity, he said: “I wanted to make sure that every penny that was raised would be put to the best use and spent on the children that needed it.

[But] the truth is my fortune isn’t enough to help all the children that need help.” The charity has proved controversial because it promotes unproven and dubious health practices and has aligned itself with antivaccinationists.
