  "account": "Kai Viehof, a 44-year-old German millionaire, has decided to give away most of his wealth, which he inherited from his family's business, Allkauf, that was sold to Metro AG in 1998 for around 1 billion marks. Viehof's grandfather built the retail chain in the 1960s, and his father had previously given him a mid-seven-figure sum, which he now plans to largely donate or invest in companies that prioritize social rather than financial returns. He will keep a small portion, one-eighth, for himself and his family, and use the rest to support democracy and other social causes.",
  "summary": "Kai Viehof has renounced most of his inheritance, and he wants to give away most of the rest, too. About a man whose job is to sensibly give away money.",
