The founder of The Hut Group has pledged to donate £100million of the online retailer's shares to charity and hand all his salary to good causes - despite the firm's £482million annual loss. 
Executive chairman and chief executive Matthew Moulding, 49, will give the mammoth stake to the Moulding Foundation, set up by the entrepreneur and his family last year.
The move, which comes just seven months after The Hut Group owner THG's initial public offering (IPO), top mother's day gifts sees him become one of the UK's biggest philanthropists.
THG said it had already donated £300,000 to charities between last September's IPO and the end of 2020, instead of paying Mr Moulding and co-director John Gallemore their base salaries.
