Nelson

 Nelson Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist from South Africa, politician and an philanthropist who had an estimated net worth of more than of $1 million at the time of December 2013. Nelson Mandela served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.The majority of Mandela's net worth came through book royalties from his top selling autobiography 1994's "Long Walk to Freedom". Nelson was a speaker who spoke only in good health. As President, Mandela slashed his salary and, in addition to that, he donated 1/3 of his salary to South African children's charities.Towards the final days of his life Mandela's family fought a bitter war over his wealth. Nelson was married three times and had six children (only three of them were alive at the time of the time of his death). Nelson placed the majority of his assets in more than a dozen trust funds, which would benefit his children and prevent them from further bickering. The trusts have provided numerous benefits.
