To pay the Zakat, one must be a Muslim, sane adult, in possession of the nisab (the minimum amount of wealth that one must have before zakat is payable) for one whole year. See the current monetary nisab value above Items from which wealth can be derived include: cattle, crops, gold, silver, and merchandise for business.
