    Thank you James! I have spend my life pay cheque to pay cheque. I had several run ins I won't get into here. I made dramatic changes in my life, buckled down and worked my butt off. I worked in car sales as a Manager. I kept my beliefs in tact and worked for companies that preached honesty and integrity. They however had little to none. I watch them treat employees as a number, pretending to care while the bottom line was all that mattered. After bouncing around trying to find real people, these millionaire owners really soured me our society. Just when the 15 hour a day shifts were breaking me down physically and mentally the pandemic hit. The owner laid everyone off and took the opportunity to hire cheaper labour. It has been seven moths and I am so to be homeless. The bitterness I feel for the abuse of power combined with greed can be consuming at times. Thank you for helping me to see that there are some good people left who haven't forgotten where them come from. You are a rare breed my friend. Bless you.

    Of all the Secret Millionaires I've seen, this one with James seems to be the most genuine and sincere. James already starts out more down-to-earth than most of the others, and he makes a real connection with the people with whom he comes into contact. Not only does he hand out money, but he thinks it through properly and earmarks it toward specific uses that he believes will make the greatest impact in people's lives. He also offers real motivation to make the kids want to try harder with the work experience opportunity, which is worth so much more than a check sometimes. Finally, you can tell it really impacted him because he continues to be involved after the fact and decided to implement a volunteer program in his own company to reward his employees for giving back. This is what successful people ought to do, and I have nothing but praise for the way he is choosing to live his life.

      eddie mclaughlin true true, I do believe what he’s doing is right I just don’t agree/believe in karma as many evil people stay evil there whole life and have very good luck and don’t have anything bad happen and loads of very good kind pure people get fucked over by life constantly . Life is just completely random imo.

      This is a con and pathetic IMO (not say the man isn't a good dude or anything like that). However this program is from BBC. So he gives 20k+50k+50k = £120,000 I bet you BBC paid him more than that to him for starring in the program. It's the TV companies budget, i don't think all these so called secret millionaire pay a penny out of their own pockets.
      So i never watched this program because of that. Also i expect them to offer much more than some of them do, since they self claim to be multi millionaires

    • @brt5273
      @brt5273 4 роки тому +3

      ​@@arsenalmanic Oh I don't think it's any problem for him to shell 120,000 because he can get it back as a tax credit. So even though he is donating it, he would be paying it to the Government anyway. Actually I hope he's making other charitable donations because if he's worth 77,000,000 his yearly taxes are probably many times that, so could be giving much more.

      eddie mclaughlin this guy ain’t a saint my friend. He started out a local loan shark from money he robbed. He then started offering low income people small loans that required a guarantor. When they obviously defaulted, he called in the debts from the guarantor and then went on to buy their houses cheap when the guarantor where behind on their mortgages and the the banks auctioned them off. Not a nice man at all!

    This is my 5th time watching the secret millionaire and this is my 5th fave!
    Sir james, you're such a sweetheart, you're so down to earth, lowkey and humble.
    You picked very well, so don't worry about your money, they deserves that. You've change people's life.

    Why is everyone so worried about what car this guy has and what house he has? Life is not judged on how much money you have or what car you drive! It is how you act and what your personality is. That is what makes you unique and special in your own way! Not on how much money you have! I mean, when you die you do not take anything with you and you will not be remembered by how much money you have and what house and car you have you will be remembered by who you were and what you did. Also this is the most generous guy I have ever seen

      You are very naive and idealistic. I wish all you said was the case but is not, that’s why the planet is so fucked up
