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.

25000 is a lot of money.  You don't know what other charitable issues he gives to.

About 1.4%.  So basically 37x what the Rock did.

Well by all means feel free to put your money where your mouth is and donate more.

The Rock is kind of a jerk.

I saw him out once, and if you can believe this, he refused to be my cosigner on an Auto Loan.

JJ Watt put in $100,000 of his own money, and one of the other Houston players gave $50,000.
JJ Watt makes a lot of money, but not in the Duane Johnson realm.

Let's not turn this into pissing contest but OP has a point BUT Dwayne does a lot more than other celebs that are out spoken libtards.  I can't drop $25K on charity so good on him.

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.

So since he has more, he should give more?
Sounds a lot like the left's views on taxes.

At least you get it.  Donate what you can, just don't brag about it.  I cant stand people who brag about what they give.  Let alone when it literally means nothing to you.

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.

The guy actually made a donation and you're hating on him for it because he makes a lot of money and you feel like it wasn't enough?

Potato-assed Kardashians are putting in $500k.

Do you hate the 1%, OP? Do you think they're greedy, undeserving fatcats? Do you feel like they're not paying their fair share? Do you feel like someone should make them start sharing it?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you might be a jealous socialist.

Personally, a man who donates a 5 figure check to people he doesn't know, to help out - isn't going to get a lot of judgement from me.  It's about $24,650 more than I've donated so far.  

That said, a man who then makes sure everyone knows he donated, gets a smile and a thank you - but also the understanding that his donation was an investment with expectations of return benefit.  That's fine - thank you for the investment, it's helpful - you're a good guy, we can be friends.  But yea, you're a good guy who wants everybody to know it.  OK.

No what you learned is you think just like the left does.  He makes more so he should give more.   He used his celebrity status and donated 25k dollars, which likely caused other people to donate as well.  25k is a lot of money, I don't care how rich you are, 25k is 25k.
