Question: Its his money to do with as he pleases – right ?

Brity, You ask the question and gave the answer also.

God has chosen some people and given outstanding talent in various ways.

My opinion - I would say, better for them to distribute this money to poor. They will wish the couple well.

50,000 people may be not much comparing to the Indian population. He did not able to feed at-least the total Indian expat population of 545,000 in Qatar.

It's a shame, if tomorrow another feed more than 50,000 people, then he'll be in a position that his record is defeated.

Funny world.
