Angelina Jolie Schmoozes with National Guard
Part of being obscenely wealthy and well-known is helping out those who are less fortunate. And this holiday season, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are making their philanthropy a family affair.
The “Beowulf” actress and her 6-year-old son Maddox headed down to the Big Easy (New Orleans, for those of you that aren’t in the know) to lend some support to Daddy Brad Pitt’s “Make it Right” gig.
Jolie spent the day hobnobbing with National Guardsmen in the Lower 9th Ward. She also attended a news conference where Pitt was announcing his latest homebuilding plan for hurricane victims.
If you have $150,000 laying around collecting dust, you can adopt a house with the “Make it Right” peeps and brighten a family’s holiday season. Take it from Brangelina… they’ve already pledged $5 million.
Enjoy the pictures of the Pitt-Jolie’s in Louisiana (December 3).

Actually, there is no part of being obscenely wealthy and well known which includes helping out those less fortunate. There are plenty of obscenely wealthy and well known people - who may or may not help out at all. And there are plenty of poorer people who see it as their pleasure to give some help, in any small way they can.
Assume if you will, that there are 500,000,000 (500 million) people on earth out of a total of 6,000,000,000 (6 billion) who can easily afford to donate $1.00 a day without feeling the pinch. If each of the 500m people do donate that $1.00, you would raise $500m, a day. Multiply that by 365 days you will raise $182,500,000,000 - in other words $182.5 billion a year. Imagine that. And most of the 500m people are just middle income earners.
So, I’m sure you are amongst those 500m who can afford to give $1.00 a day right. Have you donated your $365 as part of being a middle income earner yet?

Sounds like a great project. I always say there are so many ways to help and so many areas that need help, that everyone can do something
