    He puts most of his money in feeding hungry African children and building hospitals in his native country Congo that’s why he’s living a not so extravagant lifestyle in US. Hands down to you D. Mutombo

    Dikembe Mutombo is a great example of a genuinely kind, humble, compassionate and caring gentleman. So uncomplicated and straightforward... If every human would be at least 1/10th this humane, there would be no violence, wars, greed and all that dissonance inside the oasis of life we are blessed with, among vast amount of cold, indifferent worlds of vacuum, dust and gas... One can see right away, this person knows what really matters, every man and woman is a star
