Montreal-born Charles Bronfman is joining a list of families who are pledging to donate the majority of their wealth.
A total of 92 American families have now committed to give half of their wealth to philanthropy by taking the ``Giving Pledge,''
initiated by billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates in 2010.
Bronfman was ranked by Forbes magazine this year as the 13th wealthiest Canadian with a net worth of two-billion dollars.
He now lives in New York.
