George Michael was a handsome man with an incredible voice who captured hearts worldwide. He became a commercial success as half of the duo Wham!, and then as a solo artist.

George’s music touched the hearts of millions with songs like Careless Whisper, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Faith, Last Christmas, and Freedom! ’90. Tragically, he passed away on Christmas Day 2016 at his home in England.

Nearly a decade later, we continue to learn more about who George Michael was and how he lived his life behind the scenes. And the revelations are nothing short of heartwarming.

A Secret Life of Extraordinary Generosity

Sathnam Sanghera authored the new book Tonight the Music Seems So Loud about the George Michael few people knew. According to the book, George was a very wealthy man who secretly gave away millions of dollars for years before his death.

“We will never know how much George Michael gave away because it was secret. He died with a net worth of around 97 million pounds (more than $128 million), but I suspect a lot of that money is still being given away by his estate. The estate releases annual statements about the donations it has made. So his good work continues.”

George gave away money and spent time serving others in need. He knew how important it was to give back, and his celebrity never stopped him from doing so.

“George Michael was an incredible secret philanthropist, and the secrecy is what made it great. We’re only just finding out some of his charitable acts. For example, he gave away the first few years of royalties from ‘Last Christmas,’ one of the most successful pop songs of all time, to Band Aid, a U.K. charity aimed at combating hunger and poverty.”

His quiet acts of kindness remind us that true generosity doesn’t seek the spotlight. It simply seeks to make the world a better place, one kind gesture at a time.
