A 16 year old girl gives $500K to Katrina victims
 

Michelle Wie, newly pro golfer at 16, has donated $500,000 to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

She has equally donated as much as P Diddy and Jay Z and more than Shaq and Kobe Bryant.

Yet, thse fools are worth more than she is.

Fucking pathetic!

Jay Z donated 1 mil I heard... I'm sure the others donated as much if not more

nice publicity stunt

She had her press conference at the Kahala Mandarin Hotel, that place rocks. Sometimes I go there just to eat desserts. :thumbsup

What does a 16 year old golfer have to benefit from this? The money isn't even legally hers yet.

she doesn't need a publicity stunt because she's been in the news about turning pro at such a young age and coming in a $10 million endorsement deal. This is a long time coming. No need to do this for attention.

she turn pro today.. :P

the day will come when a younger attractive girl teaches me to golf

Published reports was $500K when they had the concert in benefit for victims.

It's not even about celebrities. What about the CEO's of various fortune 500 co's?? How much did they give?

wow, that's awesome. She is great!

I'd like to climb that 6' tall tree...mmmmmm

When she's legal of course.... :upsidedow

why is it pathetic if you donate? i hate when people compare how much $ people are donating based on their worth.

the fact that they are even giving ANY money to a cause gets my :thumbsup

you should never diss someone based on the amount they give, giving ANYTHING shows you care about the cause. :2 cents:

BRANDING

TAX WRITE OFF

Hopefully they will learn from her, more power to her :thumbsup

It's good either way, though they're comparing % and the 16 year old gave a much larger % and likely find it sad that people with tens to hundreads of millions more give a small % of their earnings / networth.

Matt

You paid taxes at 16?

:1orglaugh
What does she have to "brand"

Shes 16, PRO golfer, richest women in golf, her face is plastered everywhere....

I think it's bullshit that you expect the wealthy to pay for the poor. They are lucky to get anything at all...

Props to her, two thumbs up.. :thumbsup :thumbsup

They are only doing it to look good in the eyes of the media.

It's about black people crying out loud saying that no one cares about the poor black folks. When reality is the rich black folks don't care about the poor black folks.

if that's the case, then why is the US expected to give more when it comes to International crisises?

Yes it is idiot.

Talking out of your stink hole as usual or you have something to back it up?

where did i say the usa is expected to give more? i dont think they should.

Yes when it comes to African aid. Among the G8, the US gives the most money but in relation to the % of GDP it is the least. Other countries expect us to give more in relation to % of GDP.

Yup some CEOs with hundreds of millions don't give shit unless they get tax cuts :Oh crap

Good for her! Who cares if she benefits from the publicity?

I'd much rather see a young girl making headlines for setting a good example rather than seeing the latest "What Britney Spears Ordered From Starbucks" shit.

Yes but that (their personality) is the reason that made them millions. It's simply the way they are.

Personality?? :winkwink: It may help, but hard to see that is a reason they ended up with millions.

I can think of a friend who.. well, he's gotta be the worst "self-PR" that ever walked the planet. His TV interviews make ya cringe. But despite that, his personal assets are well over two billion dollars. He got it by working and a degree of risk-talking in his earlier 'career', - sure not on personality! :)
