Kirk Douglas died on the 5th of February at the age of 103.

The Hollywood legend was always known as an extremely charitable man, and it appears that he's carried on that legacy, even after his passing.

 
Kirk has shared his $61m fortune by giving away $50million to be distributed through the Douglas Foundation, which aims to "help those who cannot otherwise help themselves".

Some of the beneficiaries include St Lawrence University, where they fund a scholarship for minority and underprivileged students; Westwood's Sinai Temple, which houses the Kirk and Anne Douglas Childhood Center; Culver City's Kirk Douglas Theatre, a dilapidated movie theater restored as a live performance venue, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
