Comedian Ricky Gervais is planning to leave his fortune to animal charities just before he dies.

The 56-year-old comedian - who has been an animal activist for years - initially vowed to give all his cash to organisations that help improve the lives of sick, injured, abandoned and abused animals.

But has now decided to empty out his bank account just before he takes his last breath so that he can watch people complain about the fact he's left his empire to little creatures in need instead of humans, reported Contactmusic.

He wrote on Twitter, "I was going to give my fortune to animal charities after I die. But I've decided to do it just before I die so I get to see all the whining."
 

This won't be the first time the funny man - who was crowned Person of the Year by PETA for his work on stomping out animal abuse - has given something to an animal charity.

Two years ago he donated a signed acoustic guitar to help raise funds for Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary in Ontario, Canada.
