I feel you. Me too.

That's why it's good that people are donating to funds like these. Celebs donate big amounts. Even if it's less that 1% of their worth. Who cares? It's 10mil, that's a lot of money and can do a lot of good.

My point was, I notice the people who screech about celebs not donating enough either don't donate themselves or wouldn't even consider donating the percentage of their money that they feel these people should be donating. It's hypocritical.

The rock is a good person, he's worked to get where he is. He's entitled to his money just like every other Tom, dick and harry is.

As much as I dislike shitty rich people, looking at you Elon, it's still their money. And if we screech about how they should spend their money, it's only fair that we can then be told how to use ours too. Would it be nice if people like him used money for good, yes of course. But end of the day, it's their money to do with as they choose. And even a donation that isn't huge to them, is huge to others in need. So it shouldn't be complained about. It should be seen as good.

It's simple: I also worked where I am (arguably harder than a movie star) and I don't have a fucking mansion and 10 million to throw at charities.

It's not fair so don't expect us to treat them fairly.
