    Questionable donation

    Reading that Opera Winfrey is donating 10 mil. for virus relief. I applaud her for that HOWEVER, she is a multi billionaire so that is sorta like me giving $ 5.00 and expecting the world to think I'm such a good and generous person.

    She did not have to give anything. I would not look a gift horse in the mouth.

    She gives to a bunch of different causes IV so they probably do add up to a substantial amount. She has to save some cash for the next cause also after all.
