The Rock made $64.5 million in 2016. He recently made a huge deal about donating $25,000 to the flood victims in Texas. Let put this into perspective. $25,000 of $64.5 million is 0.04%. If an average person is making $60,000 per year, that is equivalent to them donating $23. A whole $23. Literally the size of a good eat out meal. I get donating but why brag about it? What a joke. http://www.tmz.com/2017/08/29/the-rock-kevin-hart-hurricane-harvey-relief-fund-donation/ View Quote You one of the United Way goons or something? |

Lol no. I really dont care what you all think of something like this. I own up to my mistakes. Responders are right, I looked at one side and not the other. View Quote Now you and the Rock need to have a beer to make amends. (But you're buying ... ) |

I donate nothing. The feds can hand out some of the money they already took through taxation.

I just hope he didn't donate to the Red Cross. Bunch of fucking scheisters they are.
|

Forcing or chastising anyone for giving anything regardless of what they make is just wrong. I make $45k and I gave $1. Go ahead and call me shitty but it's $1 more than most give and $1 more than I'm required to... Which is zero!

He was called out to make the 25k donation. Then he said he did it and urged others to donate even if it was only a dollar or two.

I didn't know he was obligated to donate much less a certain amount

I ain't got no time to read all five pages, but since OP made this thread I'm sure he is going to track down every rich person/celebrity that didn't donate anything and report back to us. Good on the Rock and hope his donation inspires more of his peers to donate.

What a stupid fucking thread....
Some of you guys have your head so far up your asshole! |

There was a Little kid (9 or 10) who found his little toddler brother face down in the family swimming pool. The 10 year old pulled the toddler out and did cpr, saving his brothers life. When asked how he knew how to do that the 10 year old said he saw the rock do it in the movie "San Andreas" The rock heard this and just made an offer to fly the kids and family up to the set of his movie so he could meet them and give them the royal treatment Real asshole View Quote |

Complain about the rich and what THEY should do with THEIR money. He doesn't "need" all that money. He should share it and give it all away. It's not FAIR!!!! You clearly know best. Voted for Hilary didn't ya? |

If we just raised taxes on the rich to fund the TXrelief project this thread would never have been created.
TAX THE RICH! |

So exactly how much would he have to give in order for you to not consider it a joke?

I don't trust who the donations go to, I don't feel like all that money goes where it should. I would rather gift money to a family in need so I know it went where it should have.

This shit right here is why you donate secretly.
It's never enough depending on who you ask. |

It wasn't "bragging", but challenging other celebrities to also donate. Yeah, I know, reading is for losers... |

Well since the federal taxpayer is getting stuck with the bill & he pays federal income tax on $64.5M every year - I'd say he already gave more than his "fair share..."
|

Woah. Thats more than what my two family vehicles are worth combined.
Very generous of him. Op sounds like he would let Bernie Sander bang his SO while he sat in the corner talking about how awful it is making 12k a year. |

The Rock "bragging" about it was likely welcomed by charities because it will cause others to donate. The Rock has a solid reputation, so that's good PR for the cause. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

After Katrina the media made a big deal out of Oprah donating what amounted to pocket change for her to the victims of Katrina. They had recently run a story on how much Oprah made that year so I too did the math and figured out that she gave practically nothing. Be humble and move on. |

Op is an idiot. Johnson was called out by another celebrity to donate $25k. The original celebrity donated $25k and is trying to get a bunch of celebrities to donate $25k. The original guy, can't remember his name, is hoping it will catch on and a lot of celebrities donate $25k each. They can donate more if they want but the original challenge is $25k. View Quote |

Dogging on a guy for donating tens of thousands of dollars to a charity. View Quote Other people always are really good at deciding how much YOU should give. Sounds like a typical libtard. "But do you really NEED that new gun? You could give the money to charity instead!" On and on and on. Just mind your own damn business. |

Did he clear / net $65M or, did he gross $65M?
Hollywood Agents, publicists, assistants / security are not cheap and don't pay for themselves. |
