After a deal with Disney for the Lucasfilms "Star Wars" franchise netted him over $4 Billion, Lucas plans to give away the majority of it to promote education. I'm sure he'll keep enough that he won't have to take a job doing philadelphia wedding photography.
In 2010, Lucas signed on with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to the Giving Pledge, which requires the worlds most wealth participants to give away the majority of their wealth to charities of their choice. They can o it during their lifetime, or wait until after death, but Lucas is making the effort to give it away now. The group of about 80 billionaires have agreed to give away at least half of their wealth to charities. Others include people like Mark Zuckerberg and Paul Allen from Facebook and Microsoft respectively.
