If I was a millionaire, this is the type of millionaire I would want to be.
George Clooney gifted 14 of his closest friends $1 Mill (USD) which is almost $1.3 Mill AUD back in 2013.
Why?
He wanted to show them his appreciation for everything they’d done for him but let’s do the math…
$1.3 X 14 = $18.2 MILLION!
“I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why the f**k am I waiting to get hit by a bus?” he told GQ.
Clooney’s best mate and business partner Rande Gerber spilt the beans on MSNBC when he revealed the all George’s friends were invited over for dinner and handed a suitcase filled with $1 MILLION in CASH.
Now listen… that sounds like some mafia nonsense but it’s also what I dream will happen to me one day.
Clooney revealed he did it at a point in his life when he was single and never expect to have kids or a family
“And I thought, what I do have are these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another.”
“I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the years … And I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this.”
What a beautiful story!
