xxxarte Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Schumacher donates 10 million dollars To Asian tsunami victims Somebody knows some personalities & how much they give? A generous donation by Schumacher Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher has donated 10 million dollars to the victims of last week's Asian tsunamis, his manager Willi Weber said during a German telethon on Tuesday. "The dawning of the New Year has not been as joyful for us this year because of the catastrophe in Asia. We sympathise with the victims in their grief," Schumacher said. The death toll from the massive December 26 earthquake and resulting tidal waves around the Indian Ocean neared 146,000 Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Sandra Bullock donated $1million dollars. I know Bill Gates through his foundation has donated $3 million and microsoft plans to match employee donations. Michael Dell donated $3 million as well. Schumi kinda puts these rich guys to shame huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo H Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Michael Schumacher despite devoting most of his time to F1 to remain the best driver there has ever been also donates money and time to numerous charities.

RDN Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Yeah, well done Schuey. I never liked his "on-track" antics, but this more than compensates. What a great lead for other super-rich people to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Has anyone discovered if the mega-rich billionaires in the Shinawatra family have donated any money to the funds being gathered to help victims of this massive disaster. Surely Paetongtarn and Pantongtae can open up their Louis Vuitton wallets and assist. After the generosity of His Majesty The King and others of the Royal Family surely they should be moved to action? Mr Schumacher just went up in my estimation for his generosity and sensitivity. Well done Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDN Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Apparently Michael lost his body guard in Phuket! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, and the poor man's two children, I believe. Very sad - it just goes to show how popular Phuket is with people from all walks of life. You never know who you might be sitting next to on the beach.

The man is richer than most nations and all he can manage is 3 million?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> So Schuey is worth $560 million and gives $10 million = 1.8 % Bill Gates is worth $46 billion and gives $3 million = 0.0065 % George Bush has been valued at somewhere between $9 and $26 million, so his donation of $10,000 = 0.038 % to 0.11 % Mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
