From a boy who grew up in the Marcy Projects slums in Brooklyn, Jay-Z has become one of the most powerful billionaires in the global entertainment industry. But recently, according to a source close to him, he is preparing a shocking will, declaring that he will donate all of his assets to education funds and rebuilding poor communities – places he once called “home of pain and strength.”

This decision immediately shocked the public. A man who experienced a deprived childhood, witnessed violence, poverty and injustice – now chose to give away his entire fortune of more than 2 billion USD to help other generations have better opportunities. “I don’t want my money to just sit in a safe when I die. I want it to go back to where I was – where no one believed a kid like me could dream big,” Jay-Z is said to have shared with a close friend.

However, the question that has been making the public unable to stop talking is: What will happen to his wife – Beyoncé – and three young children Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir Carter? Will they agree with this decision to “give it all away”?

Another source said that Beyoncé fully supports her husband, believing that “Jay-Z’s greatest legacy is not money, but how he makes the world a better place.”

However, some fans are worried: “There is no denying his kindness, but will their children be willing to live without the huge fortune their parents built?” – a comment with more than 100,000 likes on social media wrote.

For Jay-Z, perhaps the answer is already predetermined. He once said in an old interview:

“If I lived just to be rich, I would have died a long time ago. I want what is left when I really leave is meaning – not numbers.”

And perhaps, that is what makes the world cry – when a person who once stepped out of poverty, now chooses to step back onto that path, not to live, but to help others cross over.
