Quoted:
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.

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!

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.

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

That's right Liberal.  

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!!!!

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

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..."

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.
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.

Be humble and move on.

Honestly he wasn't bragging about it. He was called out by Kevin Hart to match his donation which he did.

Yep. Heard it on the radio on my way into work tonight. They said it was up over $500K from various celebrities he challenged to donate $25K a piece (some donated more).




OP, you need to lighten up. You bitching about a guy "only" donating $25K, is worse than the supposed bragging (it wasn't) done by said guy.
