Here’s What Famous People Are Doing To Help Out During The Coronavirus Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic shows no signs of ending anytime soon, leaving people from all around the globe home-bound in self-isolation, many of them without jobs and struggling to get proper healthcare. These are the things one small group of people doesn't really have to worry about—the rich. Affluent celebrities have it way easier than most regular people, from easy access to coronavirus testing and qualified medical attention to being able to spend self-isolation in million-dollar mansions filled with all sorts of entertainment.
Despite some of them complaining and ignoring how privileged they are, there are also those who acknowledge the horrible position most people were put in by the crisis. To help alleviate the pressure posed by the pandemic, many famous people have joined forces to battle COVID-19 with generous donations. We here at Bored Panda gathered a list of well-known people who decided to lend a helping hand during the crisis. From providing hospitals with much-needed medical equipment to supporting the unemployed and low-income families through food banks, these celebrities demonstrated their compassion during tough times.

Though I could say a lot about the difficulties obtaining Greek citizenship for refugees I won't. But do take a look at that face, that is the face of a migrant, of a refugee. We are of a lot of different nationalities, living in a handful of continents, and there are a few different skin colours. All of us are human beings.

Does China really use the money for the kids or does the gov. just take it away.
Its good they do it. It doesnt matter how much.... they have done something, more than others who only complain that they sould have done more.
It is great the professional athletes donating money to help the venue employees who were put out of work when the leagues were put on hold. Early in the crisis it was pointed out that the athletes were stepping up, but the billionaire owners of the teams and venues were not.. I am wondering if this has changed?
Ah, well.. we Italians got Armani to make hospital suits, FCA and Ferrari to make breathing devices, Gucci to make hand sanitizer and Fendi to make masks. If we die, at least we die in style.. :-\
It's marvellous that private people are giving money to charities to help those who need it. It's repulsive that the Trump-administration is giving copper cents to those who need it and golden coins to people that don't need it.
While this is all well and good, seems like you forgot a certain set of celebs singing without makeup...
Glad they're doing this and the money will go far. Still, they're giving of their abundance so don't go too mad praising them. Real praise is reserved for frontline workers, volunteers and essential workers keeping countries running. These folk don't even notice the money they're giving away, yet reap huge dividends in the publicity and business opps that follow. But sure, I'm glad they're doing it and hopefully setting off a chain reaction amongst others with way too much money.
When the millionaires start helping, they can make a huge difference, because of the amount they can afford to give. In a sense, it should be compulsary in those difficult times that the big CEO's forgo their bonuses or salaries as well rather than greedily cry and ask for bailout from a government (read: you and me) who they haven't even paid their taxes to, while rolling in it. It's not like it's going to last forever, and if we're in it together, as we keep being told, everyone should participate. Especially those who can. Like Presidents, Royals, MP's, Lords, Ministers, Senators...who are, let's face it, paid by their employees and should not rake outrageous salaries/bonuses. Have you heard of any, in the world, saying they'd cancel their bonus or reduce their pay for a while at least? Thought not. And guess who's going to repay the debt they're increasing to "save" the economy....
The "strong" has a duty to help the "weak". And these financy "strong" do the right thing.I hope though, for those in this article who so far just promised to give money, to do it as well.
I know that many of them have their hearts in the right places... and, they donate less than 1% of their worth to help. To be clear: their livelihoods are not at stake. Anyone with $50M could lose 95% of their wealth and still be a millionaire. What they are doing is PR. They have wealth that we literally cannot comprehend, and million dollar donations are line items for them. I appreciate that help is being given, but I know that the "why" is frequently less about generosity and more about the appearance of generosity.
HOW THE ILLUMINATI BROTHERHOOD MADE ME ACHIEVE MY DREAMS IN LIFE BEWARE OF SCAMMERS. I want to tell the world the secret of wealth, you can become what you want to become in life, is just to do the right things and meet the right people who can help you to achieve your dreams in life, in any situation you are do not give up, because we are born to achieve our dreams in the earth, because we all will still leave the earth so we need to enjoy and be happy all time, i want you to know that the illuminati is to help you in any area you need help in life, joining the illuminati will bring you change of level in your life and good news, If you are poor or you have a family problems, or you want to be rich and famous in life you have to join the illuminati, so that you can be free in life and achieve all your dreams, joining the illuminati you will not share any human blood, because illuminati is an organization to help people how are in need of help, it is an organization that brings joy and
I would just like to say something: Last week there was an article here on Bored Panda where the celebrities were being bashed to pieces because they said that we are all in this together and some people didn't think that they knew what it was like and that were not helping. I hope those same people realize how wrong and judgmental they were towards these celebrities. I guarantee that the same people who were upset with the celebrities were the same people who did all the panic buying. Epidemics do affect everyone, even people who live in multi million dollar homes.
