   Love the Hershey School for Orphans story.

   It reminded me of a quite different story regarding a businessman named LeTourneau who lived on 10% of his income and gave the rest to charity. I couldn’t remember the details, just the surname plus the 10%/90% giving; so into the search engine I asked…

   Was there a wealthy businessman named LeTourneau who gave 90% of his income to charity? AI answered with the following….

   Yes, R.G. LeTourneau was a wealthy businessman and inventor who famously gave away 90% of his income to charitable causes, particularly in support of Christian missions, while living on just 10% of his earnings.

   R.G. LeTourneau’s commitment to philanthropy was remarkable.

   • Generosity — LeTourneau donated 90% of his income to missions and ministries, a practice he maintained throughout his life.
   • Inventions — He was a prolific inventor, creating nearly 300 machines and holding hundreds of patents.
   • Impact on WWII — Much of the earthmoving equipment used during World War II was produced by his company.
   • Philosophy — He believed in ‘reversing the tithe,’ emphasizing how much of God’s money he kept for himself rather than how much he gave.
