Kardashians to donate $500K to hurricane Harvey relief efforts

[gagasgirl 395]

I agree with the people saying they should have given more since they can afford it. A couple million to them is just chump change. They probably wouldn't even realize if it was gone

Good for them! Many may pass this off as some karma/news coverage push, but the money will go to people who need it, and that's all that matters.

I understand that's a large amount of money for the average person but...collectively...for them...isn't that kinda chump change? 

To the average working family, making collectivlly 80,000$ USD a year, it's like donating $100

That being said, it is still a lot of money, and will go a long way.

At the end of the day I guess that's all the matters. 

The claws tho, just waiting to pounce on someone around here. 

Never change GGD

Is....is it bad that 500K made me kinda cringe? 

I understand that's a large amount of money for the average person but...collectively...for them...isn't that kinda chump change? 

I'm happy they are giving back but I would have expected a family of their caliber to give...more 

inb4 my first of many excuse me no's

Ok but this isn't the only place they donate their money to in a year 

So stopping cringeing and focus on the cause.

I'm just saying... they are doing more than most of the people on this site.

Im sure they donate money to many organizations/causes and volunteer their time towards these things as well. They can't just drop millions here and there 

I don't think people know how budgeting, finance, and money actually works half the time.

Well I only give a homeless person a dollar, my family could afford to give more. Is it the same thing?

I'm not sure if that last part was supposed to be directed to me but if it was we can take it to PMs that way any misconceptions can be cleared 

im not saying "only 500K!?!? Keep it!?!?" I'm just saying that 500K collectively for a family that's worth 450M collectively seems insignificant to me, which is why I tried to cushion my first comment that I'm glad they are helping because of course everything helps. 

Side note, there's ways to talk to people that don't come across as rude and presumptuous.

and how much did you give?... exactly

Yeah but, it's still giving, which they're not obligated to do. 

I understand the sentiment behind "It's still giving" which I absolutely understand, and good on the Kardashians for doing it at all – their hearts are in the right place.

However, the Kardashian family is worth approximately $450 million.

Donating $500k is approximately 0.1% of their net worth (closer to 0.11 or 0.12%).

The median income in the United States is approximately $52,000.

So what they gave is like the average American giving $52. So, yes – it's chump change.

I wonder if this money is going to help victims in positive way since that money isn't coming from a pure place.

Your financial matters don't interest me. This was about the kardashians, not you

So by the logic some of you are using when a middle class person donates $20 to a cause it's "chump change" and should be looked down upon.
