Ever wonder if today’s cosmic vibes nudge us toward generosity or just binge-watching reruns? Well, Kirk’s story might just tip the scales. Growing up dirt poor, yet raised by a mom who believed in handing out kindness—literally—to anyone knocking for a meal, Kirk learned early that generosity isn’t about the size of your wallet but the size of your heart. Fast forward decades, a trust fund quietly buttering up to $80 million, and a lightning bolt moment—“Let’s give it all away!” Now, if that’s not the universe telling us Pisces season is the perfect time to splash some cash on goodwill, I don’t know what is. Curious how this tale unfolded? LEARN MORE.
Kirk grew up in poverty, but his mother taught him the importance of generosity.
In 2015, he told the Hollywood Reporter, “Sometimes we didn’t have enough to eat, but very often there would be a knock at the door, and it would be a [person experiencing homelessness] wanting food, and my mother always gave them something. My mother said to me, ‘You must take care of other people.’ That stayed with me.”
He also said, “My wife [Anne] is very smart. Fifty years ago she set up a trust, and it’s been growing ever since. So recently [in 2012] I said, ‘How much money do we have in that?’ And she said, ‘$80 million.’ I said, ‘What?!'”
Anne added, “He said, ‘I want to give it away.’ And that’s exactly what’s happening.”
