β€˜It’s more fun giving money away than making it’

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan say they will give away 99% of their shares in the company to good causes as they announce the birth of their daughter Max.

Marcelle Speller made money on a dotcom company before becoming a philanthropist and founding LocalGiving, a fundraising platform for local charities.

She told the Today programme that Mr Zuckerberg had made a wonderful decision and that she had had more fun spending her money than making it.

β€œI wish more people who have more money than they know what to do with would do something like this,” she told presenter John Humphrys.
