It's per person. They donated $10 million total, per the article linked in this post.
According to a quick web search, Oprah Winfrey has a net worth of 2.5 billion as of 2023. Dwayne Johnson has an estimated 800 million. Assuming they donated equal parts, that’s 5 million each, or 0.2% and 0.625% of their net worth each.
In other words, if I have 100k to my name and donate 200 bucks to this, it hurts me just as much as it hurts Oprah.
Let’s not pretend they are doing any more than good publicity here for cents and pennies. Yes it helps people and that commendable, but this is chump change thrown into a beggars hat.
Thank you for donating $200
I don’t have 100k. I don’t even have 10k to my name, perhaps if you added up the original retail value of all my worldly possessions. Just making a point
Yes, I'm well aware
