Un Suisse devenu multimillionnaire du jour au lendemain, décide de redonner sa fortune après que cette somme d’argent est devenue une source de stress.

This Swiss man became a multimillionaire overnight, according to the Swiss media Blick. “I was sitting in front of my laptop, I saw this huge number with all these zeros and I was completely overwhelmed at first”, he tells the daily newspaper Berner Zeitung. “Of course I was happy, but there was also a lot of stress: what did this mean for my life now ?".

According to the media The Guardian,Having great wealth can also cause some psychological discomfort. There can be a form of guilt, an obligation to hide their possessions to be valued for themselves and finally, a feeling of loneliness, as explained by the media Slate.

“I already notice that some people don't want to get angry with me”

For this man, wealth brings him some problems such as materialism, the fear of losing money, the deterioration of his relationships. “I already notice that some people don't want to get angry with me and hold back from saying certain things or telling me criticize”.

The multimillionaire then tried to find a passion. After leaving his job, the Swiss felt less and less well. Settled in his new house, he tried his hand at artistic activities, which did not make him feel any better. It was there that he decided to give away his fortune.

He then founded a working group to give away 90% of his fortune throughout his life. At this point, the man has already bequeathed millions to environmental protection startups and to organizations helping Ukrainian refugees.

Where this Swiss finds happiness today is in the time he has for himself, for his children and for sport.
