Oprah and The Rock thought they were doing a good thing when they teamed up to ask people to donate to Maui wildfire relief. They even kicked off the fundraiser by dropping $10 million into the pot.
But a lot of people think it's RIDICULOUS for them to ask normal folks to donate . . . especially in this economy . . . when those two could give so much more. And yes, they're making their voices heard.
Oprah, who's a billionaire two and a half times over, got comments like these on her Instagram: "You have billions. You could donate $100 million and still be as wealthy as before donating. YOU give the money."
"10 million is 0.5% of 2 billion, you want my 0.5%? Here comes $16 (I gave it to you post-tax)."
"This should be a private message between you and your billionaire mates. It's so outrageous that you are pleading for money."
"Girlfriend, it would take me almost 20 years to make the amount of money you did JUST TODAY. You do it. We're struggling over here."
The Rock is worth an estimated $300 million. His blowback included this comment: "Dig in those deep pockets, Rock! You got this. Maui will thank you."
