Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne Johnson are facing backlash after urging the public to give money to help victims of the Maui wildfires, while they themselves jointly donated just $10 million — a tiny fraction of their enormous wealth.
Both Winfrey and Johnson recently appeared in a video posted to Instagram and other social media sites to announce the People’s Maui Fund, which is intended to raise money for those impacted by the recent wildfires. “We are honored to start the campaign with $10 million and ask for your help in donating to those who have lost their homes,” the post stated.
Winfrey’s estimated net worth is $2.5 billion. If she gave $5 million to the fund, that would represent less than 1 percent of her wealth.The celebrities are facing social media backlash over their effort, with numerous commenters questioning why ordinary people are being asked to donate when Winfrey and Johnson are giving relatively little in relation to their net worths.
“Math ain’t mathing with this one. You guy’s literally have so much money…. You can donate it and make it back within a year,” one top comment with over 10,000 likes stated, according to an Insider
