    Small correction, he gave $50 million of his fortune to charities and the remaining $11 million and the estate are left to his wife.

      On Sunday, The Mirror reported that the Hollywood legend left $50m of his fortune to be distributed by the Douglas Foundation...

      The report did not state where the remaining $11m will go, although it did say that Douglas’s son Michael, who has an estimated net worth of $300m, will not receive any inheritance from his father.

      And I also edited the title to include the word "almost" to reflect that.

    It doesn’t really cost people anything to donate their money after they’ve died - it only costs their family who would’ve otherwise got it.
