This story is so inspiring and reminds us how important it is to share our good fortune with those less fortunate.
Rob and Karen Hale are multibillionaires. And while most people associate billionaires with a wealthy lifestyle where they show off their wealth, the Hales are a little different. The couple fully believes that they should be giving back to society and helping to make the lives of others better.
According to Forbes, Rob Hale’s net worth is approximately $5 billion. The multibillionaire is the co-owner of the Boston Celtics, and also the co-founder and president of Granite Telecommunications.
Both Rob and Karen are well aware of how lucky they are to be in such privileged positions in their life with the success of both Granite Telecommunications and the Boston Celtics.
