You know what I love about Richard DeVos? It's not the fact that his net worth of $3.5 billion ranks him in at #73 on the Forbes richest 400 list , it's not the fact that he founded Amway, owns the Orlando Magic, or even the fact that he has a helicopter landing strip in his yard. Nope, the thing I love most about Mr. DeVos is that his bio includes the fact that he tithes 10% of everything he makes to his local church.
I would guess that he started tithing before he was a billionaire. Its a lot easier to get in the habit of tithing when you're making dirt. I think people are so funny who say, "Ill start tithing as soon as I win the lottery."
