Reposted by King Milkfart OldBiker @oldbiker.bsky.social · Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️ if true, 😘 |

Looks like it's true, here's one of several references...excellent... ;) *** Gilmour sold the home to Earl Spencer _ brother of the late Princess Diana _ for $6.48 million, and gave the money to Crisis, which helps homeless people, The Sunday Telegraph reported. "I don't need the money and I just thought it would be a good thing to do," the paper quoted him as saying. "I've had that house for nearly 20 years. It's made a fat profit and I've scarcely used it for the last six or seven years." Gilmour, 54, lives in a farmhouse in West Sussex and owns a house in Greece. The Independent newspaper reported that he'd originally bought the London home for $430,000. But Gilmour said he'd grown tired of having too many expensive possessions. "You collect Ferraris and then you've got to collect people to look after your Ferraris, and you've got to collect buildings to house the Ferraris," The Sunday Telegraph quoted him as saying. "Life gets very complicated. And eventually, at least in my case, you think 'I don't need this stuff.' And suddenly life gets simpler." |
