Hobby Lobby founder David Green credited his higher power as the 'true source' of his success and chose to give away his company instead of profit.

Green credited his faith and higher power as the"true source" of his success, noting that"God was the true owner of my business," and felt that passing the company down to his children and grandchildren would've been the wrong move.

"As an owner, there are certain rights and responsibilities, including the right to sell the company and keep the profits for yourself and your family," Green wrote."As our company grew, that idea began to bother me more and more. Well-meaning attorneys and accountants advised me to simply pass ownership down to my children and grandchildren. It didn’t seem fair to me that I might change or even ruin the future of grandchildren who had not even been born yet.

“When I realized that I was just a steward, it was easy to give away my ownership," added, Green, whose net worth is $14 billion
