HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston billionaires Rich and Nancy Kinder told ABC13's Melanie Lawson they plan to donate an astounding 95% of their multi-billion-dollar wealth to charities.

It comes as the Kinder Foundation announced an $18.5 million expansion project for Emancipation Park in the heart of Third Ward.

That historic park was founded by slaves in 1872.

While you may not know the Kinders, you've certainly seen the Kinder name on buildings and facilities around the city of Houston.

They are one of the wealthiest couples in the nation, worth $11.4 billion, according to Forbes.

The Kinders are also among the most generous, giving away hundreds of millions to Houston institutions and charities. Their plan is to give away almost all of their wealth, or more than $10 billion.
