on: June 01, 2011, 04:12:29 AM
Just in case anyone missed the episode on Tuesday night, one i was particularly looking forward too:

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-secret-millionaire/4od#3192254

Aria Taheri - Owner of Aria Computers

Although he gave away 50k and some computers etc, he has promised to donate 10% of his profits to charity, amazing.

Undercover in good old Sparkbrook, Birmingham's Bangladesh. I remember seeing arsonists set fire to the Aldi there Wub

The area does need some money throwing at it for sure!

I thought he just got to write off the tax on that 10%... not the full 10% ?

(tax would be about 40% of it?)
