  "Who wants to be a Millionaire①? I don't," says Charles Gray

  Angus Deayton interviews② ex­millionaire③ Charles Gray

  A lot of people are determined④ to become a millionaire. They spend half their time dreaming up⑤ ways of getting⑥ rich, and the rest of their time thinking about all the enjoyable⑦things they would do once they got rich⑧. But do all millionaires find the happiness that they thought they would get⑨ when they achieve their goals⑩? Some millionaires continue to be concerned⑪ about money when they become millionaires. They are hardworking⑫ to get all that money. Then they are hardworking to make sure they never lose it!

  But there are people who have turned their backs on⑬ their millions⑭ and found different ways to be happy in their lives. Charles Gray is one example.

  Sixteen years ago, Charles was a college professor with⑮ a huge six­bedroom house and $2 million. Today he lives in a small dormitory⑯ room ⑰where there is only second­hand⑱ furniture⑲. There are certainly no signs that Charles was a rich man⑳! There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees. Charles grows some vegetables and a few flowers. He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops.
