  • 23-Year-Old Millionaire Jane Park Seeks a Boyfriend – Salary $75K a Year

    23-Year-Old Millionaire Jane Park Seeks a Boyfriend – Salary $75K a Year

    It seems like everyone wants to strike it rich. For 23-year-old millionaire lottery winner Jane Park, her small fortune has been a real problem for her love life.

    Jane Park won a £1 million prize in the transnational EuroMillions lottery, which made her the UK’s youngest lottery winner. It also created some headaches for the 17-year-old, who’s having a hard time making solid connections with the opposite sex.

    Her big win was back in 2013, and she has been striking out in the love game ever since.

    According to an anonymous source quoted by The Mirror:

    “She’s never sure whether she is being loved for herself or for her bank balance… she would rather have the arrangement out in the open. Jane has a tendency to be insecure sometimes and worries about people’s motives.”

    Jane Park Will Probably Find a Gaggle of Men

    Since she won the EuroMillions lottery Jane Park has landed some choice boyfriends. She’s been involved with both footballer Jordan Piggott and “The X Factor” finalist Sam Callahan, though neither relationship worked out.

    Now she’s offering lucky young men the chance to interview to be her new boyfriend. The prospective boyfriends will apply for a relationship on a website, and once they make the short list, Jane will be recording live interviews for an upcoming documentary.

    The lucky new boyfriend will also be given an “allowance” of £60,000 per year so that Jane can ensure they stay “loyal” to her.

    The Mirror reported that:

    “She is willing to pay the right price for someone loyal… Loyalty is the most important thing to her – the money is a small price to pay.”

    Who Says Money Can’t Buy You Love?

    Clearly, Jane Park is looking for a steady relationship. The fact that she would pay nearly $80,000 USD yearly for “loyalty” shows how badly she wants to find trust with another person.

    While we can be optimistic that she will find the perfect match, she is just as likely to encounter men who want to get paid to be with her. Publicly offering a monthly stipend to men to be your boyfriend will totally attract people, but they may not be the kind that will make great husbands.

    The Curse of Easy Money

    Jane Park isn’t the first person to win the lottery, and have personal problems as a result.

    Lara and Roger Griffiths also won a decent amount of money back in 2005, and it destroyed their marriage. The couple reported having a happy marriage prior the $2.76 million lottery win.

    Everything seemed to change after they won the prize. By the time it was all said and done, their (underinsured) house had burned down, and Roger blew out of town in the Porsche they had bought after Lara grilled him about possibly adulterous emails she found.

    While the formerly happy couple did probably have a blast traveling and spending their money, it all fell apart in the end. They had been married for 14 years by the time Roger left, which would’ve probably never happened if they hadn’t won that money.

    Let’s all hope that Jane Park has a better time with her new boyfriend hunt!

  • Snoop Dogg – From Long Beach Crips to Hollywood Walk of Fame

    Snoop Dogg – From Long Beach Crips to Hollywood Walk of Fame

    Snoop Dogg is not just a rapper. He’s an institution. The former LA gang member and weed dealer will be honored on November 19 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    The world-famous rapper, stoner, actor, philanthropist, television host, and all-around decent dude Calvin Broadus, more affectionately known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, will receive his accolade on the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Show.

    From the Bottom to the Top

    Whenever someone with a nefarious past from one of the roughest parts of America makes it big, it’s always something to celebrate. Since the early 1990s, Snoop Dogg has risen from the Long Beach Crips gang in Los Angeles to a net worth believed to be in the region of $135 million.

    From his multi-million selling albums such as the seminal and immensely important Doggystyle to his adult movie productions, his award-winning cooking program with Martha Stewart and his myriad of business interests, Snoop has overachieved in magnificent fashion.

    Who would’ve thought that Snoop could have endeared himself to white America so successfully over the past two decades with a spliff in his pimp hand and gun talk in his raps?

    Snoop Dogg Can Do Everything

    Since 1993, Snoop has released 17 albums in his career that have sold a total of 35 million copies across the planet and received almost 20 Grammy Award nominations. It is only fair that he now has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    The producer of Hollywood Walk of Fame, Ana Martinez had some very kind words to say about the rapper and his mass appeal across mainstream America:

    “Snoop Dogg is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work. He is a man of the ages and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

    It’s safe to say that Snoop Dogg has earned his place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making something out of nothing, from the ghetto to glamorous. We wish him many more lucrative years making money and making people smile.

  • Somaya Reece Shares Secrets on How to Make Millions, Shed Pounds

    Somaya Reece Shares Secrets on How to Make Millions, Shed Pounds

    Somaya Reece has done what most people can only dream about. She built up a marketing presence via MySpace and turned the hype into a successful career in music and entertainment. Recently she launched a popular detox tea, which is meant to help people clean out their bodies and feel better.

    There have been numerous detox teas hitting the market over the last few years. People want to lose weight and feel good. Somaya Reece used the tea that she markets to go from a size 18 to a size 6, which has given her brand a lot of credibility.

    Somaya Reece Hit the Ground Running

    Launching a new product isn’t easy. Somaya Reece had a better start than many, given her existing fan base. She only needed $500 USD to begin selling Get Slim Detox Tea. It was an instant hit, and her mother and sister had to help her keep up with the initial orders!

    According to a recent interview with Forbes, Somaya Reece used an old family recipe for Get Slim Detox Tea. She feels that the emotional connection that her fans have with her weight-loss has been a big benefit to her brand.

    Somaya Reece told Forbes:

    “I offer a personal experience and story attached to my brand. Unlike other brands, I have a personal relationship with my customers. They can always contact me and ask questions that I am happy to answer.”

    Accessibility is a big deal for a brand that rely on results to gain traction. In addition to drinking Get Slim Detox Tea, Somaya Reece began walking for 10 minutes a day, and drinking smoothies to prepare for her weight-loss program.

    Part of a Healthy Lifestyle

    Taking exercise is a common trait among millionaires. Somaya Reece is currently worth $4 million USD, and her detox tea business is reportedly doing around $2.5 million USD a year in revenue.

    Somaya Reece says:

    “Detoxing helps cleanse, rid your body of toxins hidden and impacted fecal matter that causes disease, fatigue, depression among other issues. In turn this helps you feel lighter, promotes weight loss, and helps give you a tremendous amount of energy.”

    Many wealthy people rely on their energy to be more productive than normal people, who don’t care as much about their bodies. The habits that create wealth include keeping an eye on diet and making sure that there is time for fitness.

    The Real Deal

    There are a lot of brands out there that pay models or athletes to endorse their product, even though the endorser has little or nothing to do with the product they’re plugging.

    Somaya Reece is definitely on a different path when it comes to brand identity.

    She says:

    “We [Get Slim Detox Tea] only use real customer reviews and results. I pride my company with using actual customer results as opposed to paying influencer models that are not exactly interested in fitness. I want potential customers to be able to hear and read the stories of actual customers they can relate to.”

    She also warns entrepreneurs against short-term thinking. Many startups look for a quick path to easy money, but according to Somaya Reece, this is a big mistake. Instead, entrepreneurs need to have passion and do their homework.

    Building up credibility and a following can take a lot of effort, but it also helps to bring a product to market in a remarkably short amount of time. At least that was the case for Get Slim Detox Tea and Somaya Reece.

  • 3 Successful Indian Entrepreneurs Who Didn’t Get a College Education

    3 Successful Indian Entrepreneurs Who Didn’t Get a College Education

    There’s an ongoing debate in society about whether it’s worth getting a college education. Most times, the hammer falls on the side of the academics, citing the fact that graduates stand to make more money throughout their careers, get better connections, and access to resources that non-college goers do not. But in India, in particular, successful Indian entrepreneurs are proving this to no longer be the case.

    With the rising trend of emerging technologies and the pace at which new skills are needed, the old academic argument is wearing a little thin. Of course, there will always be the classic careers which need a college education, like medicine, law, or science.

    But if you have a more creative mindset and are happy experimenting putting your smarts into practice rather than hitting the books, an entrepreneurial career might be for you. You may be better off ditching the lecture hall for the investor’s lobby. Check out these three successful Indian entrepreneurs who made it big–without a college education.

    1. Ritesh Agrawal

    ritesh agarwalRitesh finished high school but he didn’t make it through college. He dropped out at just 17 even after traveling from Cuttack to New Delhi to study business administration. It wasn’t the wrong decision though.

    He was a millionaire by 22 and a billionaire two years later. As CEO of OYO Hotels, a company offering affordable hotel accommodation, Ritesh is on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Asia.

    His hotel aggregator startup raised $1 billion (around Rs 7,300 crore) in new funding from existing investors led by SoftBank, and at an estimated value of $5 billion. OYO Hotels is now India’s second most valuable startup after Paytm, a digital-wallet startup.

    And today, Ritesh is one of India’s youngest billionaires and the youngest person on the Hurun India List this year with a net worth of Rs 4,600 crore ($636 million).

    2. Kunal Shah

    kuna shahUnlike the others on this list, Kunal Shah graduated from college, although he dropped just before finishing his MBA to start a digital payment app called Freecharge in 2010, which he would later sell for $400 million.

    Not only a successful entrepreneur and businessman but Kunal also made some intelligent investments and mentored various startups, even working as an adviser to VC firm Sequoia Capital.

    He’s recently raised $30 million from prominent investors including Sequoia–even though he says he has “nothing concrete” in mind right now.

    3. Trishneet Arora

    Trishneet AroraTrishneet is making it big as a tech entrepreneur, but he didn’t have a conventional start. He didn’t even finish high-school in fact. But that didn’t stop him from amassing a fortune and reaching millionaire status by the time he was 23.

    As founder of TAC Security as well as its CEO, Arora provides cybersecurity services to corporations and their networks with clients including Reliance Industries and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

    Self-described as a “friendly hacker,” he’s also on the Forbes Under 30 list for Asia and was named as one of India’s Most Influential Young Indians by GQ Magazine. His net worth is currently estimated at around $1 million.

    Successful Indian Entrepreneurs Without a College Ed

    Do you need a college education to make money? I’ll let you be the judge of that. But based on the stories of these three successful Indian entrepreneurs, they haven’t let it get in their way.

  • Winter Is Finally Here as Game of Thrones Season 8 Premieres in April

    Winter Is Finally Here as Game of Thrones Season 8 Premieres in April

    As Lord Eddard Stark once promised us, winter is finally here. The last season of Game of Thrones finally has a release date and will set our screens alight with dragon fire when it premieres in April.

    If you’ve been suffering Games of Thrones cold turkey in 2018, you need pine no longer. The final season was expected by fans to screen in 2018 after the seventh season was aired in 2017. However, the show’s creators have rightfully taken their time to ensure the final season does the show and the fans justice.

    Great News for Game of Thrones Addicts

    Whether it’s the grisly murders at the Red Wedding, the explosive Battle of Blackwater Bay, the bloodthirsty Battle of the Bastards, the exponential growth of Daenerys Targaryen and her fire-breathing dragons, or the rebirth of the much-loved and reluctant hero Jon Snow, the White Walkers are here and it really is brown trousers for everyone involved. Especially the fans!

    The HBO fantasy-drama series has broken the mold in terms of capturing the imagination of viewers far and wide with the adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Fire and Ice” novels.

    The show has been lauded by many as one of the three greatest television series ever made, mentioned in the same breath as The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

    Game of Thrones Season 8 will premiere in April, and here is the teaser that has set the internet alight over the past day or two:

    Will there be an Iron Throne Left to Win?

    As the White Walkers have now broken down the wall and march on Westeros, will the newly acquainted team of Jon Snow and Daenerys ‘Stormborn’ Targaryen with her two remaining dragons be able to fend them off? Probably not!

    Will the current Queen of the Seven Kingdoms Cersei Lannister finally get her comeuppance? Will Brandon Stark get to tell Jon Snow the truth about his royal lineage as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne?

    Questions, questions, questions!

    Talk of the Iron Throne could all be irrelevant if the Night King and the White Walkers get their way. It’s all a complicated business, but with only six episodes left in the final season, we will finally get to see the ‘bittersweet ending’ that George R.R. Martin promised us many years ago.

    Game of Thrones Season 8 is finally coming to a television near you. We just hope you haven’t heavily invested in any of the show’s main characters too much. Because you know how GOT gets down when it comes to protecting our favorites!

  • Heavyweight Boxing Champ Anthony Joshua Flexing It up in Jamaica

    Heavyweight Boxing Champ Anthony Joshua Flexing It up in Jamaica

    When heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua faced drug dealing charges in 2009, who would’ve thought nearly a decade later he would pack out 80,000 seater stadiums and be spending $3,000 per night on luxury accommodation in Jamaica?

    The UK boxing star has reportedly earned over $50 million from boxing since turning pro in 2013, although Forbes reports that the chiseled pugilist has a net worth of $38 million.

    Anthony Joshua Relaxing in the Sun

    Over the past week or so, Anthony Joshua has been recuperating from his last fight against Russian Alexander Povetkin, by chilling in Jamaica and spending almost $3,000 per night on a luxury villa. Long gone are the days of shifting weed to punters in dark alleyways.

    The 29-year-old boxing sensation has been staying in a state-of-the-art luxury 5-bed villa with majestic elevated sea-views overlooking the Caribbean. The villa comes equipped with an on-site gymnasium–because anyone who knows Joshua will tell you he’s always in training, even when relaxing.

    And by his own admission, he’s at the top of the world and having the time of his life:

    Can Anthony Joshua Conquer America?

    Anthony Joshua, more commonly known by his adoring fans in the UK as ‘AJ’, is a household name across Britain, Europe, and many parts of Africa. In his last four fights, his combined attendances are over 300,000 people.

    His PPV figures in the UK are apparently over 1 million buys every time he fights. He actually holds the PPV record for a single boxing match in the UK with over 1.5 million buys against former champ Wladimir Klitschko in April 2017.

    When you take into consideration that Joshua has only had 22 fights (all wins) and is still a relative novice in a professional boxing sense, he is already one of the highest paid sports stars in the world, and one of the most decorated.

    At this moment, Anthony Joshua is the second-highest paid active boxer in the world behind Canelo Alvarez, and he hasn’t even cracked America yet. When he does, he will become not only the highest paid boxer in the world but maybe even the highest paid person in the sports world.

    His marketability is truly sensational. He always stays humble, has legions of fans young and old, and crosses racial barriers. His transition from a rogue weed seller to Olympic gold medalist in 2012, to now being the holder of three heavyweight belts is truly inspirational to disenfranchised youth across the planet.

    Anthony Joshua deserves his well-earned break and will be back to fight in April, hopefully against either Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder to claim the fourth and final belt to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the world since Lennox Lewis.

  • Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Faces Flack Over ‘Potentially Dangerous’ Advice

    Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Faces Flack Over ‘Potentially Dangerous’ Advice

    Gwyneth Paltrow has beauty, fame, and a lifestyle to make anyone envious. But these things may not be enough to save her company’s reputation. The well-loved actress’ firm is facing complaints in the UK and a lawsuit in the US for promoting and selling unproven health products that can potentially harm people, especially women.

    According to the Times, The Good Thinking Society submitted a complaint to both the Advertising Standards Authority and the National Trading Standards, which questioned Goop’s advertising compliance with British law.

    This year, Paltrow’s lifestyle brand raised $50 million in Series C funding, from investors including Lightspeed, NEA, and Felix Capital. The money was meant to expand the star’s business in Europe.

    Is Gweneth Paltrow Selling Potentially Harmful Products?

    The Good Thinking Society is a non-profit organization that promotes scientific thinking. So, its members researched the products that Goop promotes and sells in the UK.

    The charity accused Paltrow and her company of advertising “unproven health products.” The society has brought to the attention of regulators a massive 113 breaches of UK advertising law, used to promote Goop products online and offline.

    Laura Thomason, project manager at the Good Thinking Society, stated for CNBC:

    “It is shocking to see the sheer volume of unproven claims made by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop about their products, especially given that some of their health advice is potentially dangerous. Just because Gwyneth has an Academy Award, it does not mean that Goop should be given an easy ride compared to other big corporations.”

    The “potentially dangerous” health advice refers to “The Mother Load,” supplements containing high amounts of Vitamin A, which isn’t recommended for pregnant women by the NHS.

    $145,000 Settlement to Avoid Lawsuit

    Complaints against Gwyneth Paltrow’s company and its products are also occurring in the US. In September, 10 Californian prosecutors and Goop settled a $145,000 lawsuit, filed for advertising that claimed health benefits without any scientific backup.

    The products that generated the legal issue were a vaginal detox egg sold as a product that could balance hormones and prevent depression. Besides the civil penalty, the lifestyle brand Goop had to refund all buyers who had purchased any of the two products between January and August 2017.

    Goop had to change its marketing as well. According to a statement of the Santa Clara District Attorney, the settlement brought new rules that stopped the company from using:

    “any claims regarding the efficacy or effects of any of its products without possessing competent and reliable scientific evidence that substantiates the claims.”

    Controversy Is Good for Business


    Gwyneth Paltrow disagrees with some of the accusations against her company and the products it sells. In an interview for BBC News, the Oscar-winning actress stated:

    “We really believe that there are healing modalities that have existed for thousands of years, and they challenge maybe a very conventional Western doctor that might not believe necessarily in the healing powers of essential oils or any variety of acupuncture — things that have been tried and tested for hundreds of years. And we find that they are very helpful to people and that there’s an incredible power in the human body to heal itself.”

    Despite the lawsuits, Goop seems to do well with every new accusation of pseudoscience. The company is currently worth $250 million, and its growth seems to be connected to how Paltrow and her team use controversy to generate buzz about products and drive sales.

    Earlier this year, she told Fortune that her company had tripled its revenues since 2015 and she expected the sales to double again in 2018.

    In 2014, Forbes estimated Gwyneth Paltrow’s net worth at $140 million. But the actress’s fortune has been growing ever since, thanks to her company. She’s also a host for wellness conferences, where ticket prices start at $400.

  • Will Money Motivate Kevin Durant into Taking a $221-Million Contract?

    Will Money Motivate Kevin Durant into Taking a $221-Million Contract?

    Money may not be the most important thing for Kevin Durant. For the moment, the NBA superstar is playing for the Golden State Warriors. That could change as early as next year.

    Kevin Durant is going to be a free agent again, which opens up some questions about what really motivates that 10th highest paid player in the NBA.

    The last time Kevin Durant was a free agent, some strange things happened.

    He decided to defect from the Oklahoma City Thunder for a shot to post some big numbers out West. While his move to the Golden State Warriors wasn’t without controversy, it has netted him two NBA championships in the process.

    Kevin Durant May Opt for Glory

    After the 2017 season, Kevin had the chance to exercise a player option in his two-year, $54.3 million USD contract with the Golden State Warriors. He declined and became an unrestricted free agent instead.

    Curiously, he then signed on with the Warriors for another year, at a salary which was less than the maximum possible.

    Taking less money might not make sense from a business perspective, but it allowed the Warriors to pick up a few other free agents, and retain the bench that made the 2017 championship possible.

    It could be argued that Kevin Durant’s willingness to take a lower salary was motivated by his desire for another shot at a championship. Also, he makes more than $30 million USD a year once all his endorsement deals are factored in.

    There may be more than money on Kevin Durant’s mind, which makes his upcoming free agent status interesting, to say the least.

    No Shortage of Options

    No matter where Kevin Durant goes, he will be getting a pile of cash.

    When he opts out of his current deal next summer he will probably be looking at a 5-year, $221 million Supermax offer from the Golden State Warriors, or a 4-year, $164 million from pretty much any other NBA team.

    The key factor for Kevin Durant may have a lot more to do with winning another championship. He has already put together an impressive set of career stats, and another NBA championship would just add to his outstanding record.

    It is anyone’s guess what team Kevin Durant sees as a viable contender for another championship. Most teams in the NBA would probably welcome him with open arms, despite his stratospheric price tag.

    The Drama Is Here

    Kevin Durant’s upcoming free-agency is already causing some problems for the Warriors. According to reports, Draymond Green was suspended from the team because of his unprofessional conduct yesterday.

    What started as an on-court disagreement between Durant and Green, turned into a full-blown locker-room blowout. Apparently, Green let Durant have it over the potential he might leave the Warriors, among other things.

    Warriors guard Shaun Livingston commented on the explosion after the game:

    “Team spirit. Guys wanted a different outcome than what happened. Obviously, Dray had the turnover, guys might have thought they were open or wanted the basketball, didn’t get it. Things happen like that in sports. But it was good to see some fire, some emotion.”

    If Kevin Durant decides to walk away from a 5-year, $221 million USD deal with the Warriors, there could be a lot more “emotion” on the Warriors’ side of the court next year.

  • Esports Team Order Wants to Raise $1 Million Through Crowdfunding

    Esports Team Order Wants to Raise $1 Million Through Crowdfunding

    In a bid to become the first fan-owned team, Australian based esports team Order has floated an equity crowdfunding campaign to members of the public, according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR).

    The team had been planning the campaign, which was approved by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, for the first quarter of 2019.

    Order is offering 577,407 shares at an issue price of $1.74 per share for its seed fund investment, and it hopes to raise $100,000 minimum to a $1,000,000 maximum. At press time, it had been 246% oversubscribed leading to a total of $246,925.14 invested so far.

    Jake Tiberi, who is a founder of Order, was quoted in the report:

    “A lot of the messages that [Gerard] had around improving players, ensuring we’re investing in their future, trying to create longevity and jobs for them was the kind of professionalism the industry needed.”

    Order is owned by Gerard Murphy, the Leading Teams co-founder, and Jake ‘Spawn’ Tiberi, the team’s General Manager and co-founder. Last year, the team joined the League of Legends Oceanic Pro League.

    Sitting on Order’s board, is former Hitwise boss, Adrian Giles, as the chairman of Order and he credits the:

    “timing of the legalization of crowdfunding”

    as being key to their choice of this capital fundraising medium.

    Giles was referring to the equity crowdfunding legislation that was passed by the Australian legislative upper house in September, which opened up the funding method to a larger pool of startups.

    “The regulations that were put in around crowdfunding removed some of the requirements that normal public companies had around reporting and governance and so on to the nature of earlier stage organizations that were crowdfunded.”

    The seed funding raised from the campaign will be used to develop the team, and while the medium used by Order is entirely new in the industry, Giles sees it as being effective. He went further to argue that the success of the industry in the long-term will come down to how quickly it can attract sponsors. He noted:

    “Most esports organizations see around 70 percent of their revenue from sponsorship, and we’re predicting that it would sit at a similar number in the future. Endemic brands don’t require as much education, but there are non-endemic brands that we want to be associated with too… So one of the challenges is to continue that education process and hope that our brand and our place within the esports industry resonates.”

  • NFL Rams Andrew Whitworth Donates Paycheck to Thousand Oaks Victims

    NFL Rams Andrew Whitworth Donates Paycheck to Thousand Oaks Victims

    The recent Thousand Oaks shooting was a tragedy. Rams captain and starting left tackle Andrew Whitworth decided to reach out to the community he calls home. According to Jay Glazer at The Athletic, Andrew Whitworth will be donating his week 10 game check to:

    “help the families and victims of the shooting.”

    The average NFL player makes around $2 million USD per year. As a 13-year veteran of the NFL, Andrew Whitworth was able to ask for a bit more than that. He signed a 3-year, $36 million USD contract with the Rams in 2017, which breaks down to around $60,000 USD per game.

    His donation is meaningful and shows that people who have made good in life aren’t afraid to give back. While no amount of money will bring solace to those who lost friends and family in the tragic shooting in Thousand Oaks, it does show that there is good in the world too.

    Andrew Whitworth Sets a Great Example

    There’s no getting away from the harshness of life. As the Thousand Oaks shooting demonstrates, there are people out there who don’t care at all for others. While the circumstances are terrible, they do allow leaders like Andrew Whitworth to show the world what giving can do in the wake of a tragedy.

    Andrew Whitworth isn’t alone in the NFL when it comes to giving. Earlier this year when Hurricane Florence ripped through the East Coast of the USA, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper stepped in to help the community.

    The Carolina Panthers decided to donate more than $1 million dollars in aid, including a $1 million dollar donation to the Red Cross. They also worked directly with the affected areas and helped high school athletic programs which were damaged by the storm.

    No one forced Andrew Whitworth or David Tepper to give. They both did the right thing and shared with people who suffered losses from circumstances beyond their control.

    Giving Helps

    It’s easy to say that giving $60,000 USD away is easy for someone like Andrew Whitworth. He has a pile of cash compared to most people, and more coming in all the time.

    However, he has to work hard for that money. Andrew Whitworth has spent his life honing a skill to the point that he is one of the top NFL players. Most players in the NFL last three seasons, he has gone on for 13.

    Pretty impressive, no?

    The simple fact is that while it’s easy to overlook giving and charity, it’s much harder to make a difference for the better. Even if you don’t have tens of thousands to give, there is always a way to do some good in the world.

    Small amounts of money add up, and most charitable organizations will accept volunteers.

    If you have time or money to give, consider yourself lucky, and look for a good way to share your luck with those who aren’t as fortunate as you at the moment.
