[www.keralites.net] Simpsons creator is spending his last months giving away his fortune before dying of colon cancer.

 

Sam Simon, 58, is spending his final months funding projects that feed homeless people and save animals from being killed in animal shelters.
'The truth is, I have more money than I'm interested in spending. Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this,' Simon explained.
Simon created the hit cartoon alongside Matt Groening in 1991 technically retired from The Simpsons in 1993 but still receives tens of millions in royalties every season.
Simon has set up a food bank in Los Angeles that serves only cruelty-free vegan food, and turned his Malibu mansion into dog rescue where animals who are about to be put down by local shelters are taken, cared for, and then trained to be companions for the deaf.
Philanthropist: Sam Simon made millions off royalties from The Simpsons and he is determined to give it all away

Wealthy: Simon had a falling out with his co-creator Matt Groening (pictured) and left the show in 1993 but retained a healthy stake in the franchise
