Many wealthy people give money to charities; Flight Centre co-founder Geoff Harris has given ten of them a home by housing them in a six-storey building he’s just built in East Melbourne.

Harris, a former Rich Lister and a cricket tragic, also creates funding opportunities for charities he supports, but in an unusual way – by locating them in the very building where his own family office, Harris Capital, plots investment on its own and jointly with other high net worth individuals.
