Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon offers up fortune
Quote:
Sam Simon, the man who co-created The Simpsons, is giving away his vast fortune to animal rights and poverty groups as he battles terminal cancer.
The 58-year-old, who came up with the concept for the animated TV hit with Matt Groening in 1983, was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer earlier in 2013 and given between three and six months to live.
He has vowed to give away millions to the charities he has supported through the Sam Simon Foundation, which provides vegan food to the hungry and homes for stray pets.
He has also supported PETA, Save the Children and marine organisation the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and he turned a compound in Malibu, California, into a sanctuary for unwanted dogs rescued from kill shelters.

"I have more money than I'm interested in spending. Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this," Simon said.
