Where's Madonna's Malawi Money?
So this past year (in 07), Madonna gave a bunch of money to Kabbalah - that's no surprise.
What is surprising is her lack of donations toward her own organization in Malawi!
Of the $3.1 million the singer doled out altogether last year, $2.6 million of it went to the Kabbalah Center of Los Angeles. About $4,000 went to the center's Spirituality for Kids - as promised from the sales of her children's books.
Madonna also gave $250,000 to Mobilization Against AIDS, $15,000 to the "recording industry's pet charity," the TJ Martell Foundation for Leukemia and Cancer Research, along with donations to All Saints Church in Pasadena, California, to Los Angeles Jewish Big Brothers and Sisters, several other donations to smaller health organizations, and $23,000 to group that assists in constructing playgrounds in Russia.
But - rather surprisingly - the Material Mom gave no money to her own Raising Malawi charity, nor any other Malawian organizations. And of the $3.7 million reportedly earned from her fundraiser with Gucci and UNICEF no one's heard hide nor hair of.
There's still tax paperwork to be filed, but it does seem rather odd that Madonna should give no money to the country from which she adopted her son David.

boring….
we all know some Ritchie guy who's enjoying the money.
No one cares…
Watch that crazy Madonna fan start trolling here in 5…4…3…2…1…
ahhhh, did you two have a fight?????? and if this IS true, it is very hypocritical of her to ask commoners like us to donate the few bucks we have when she won't part with it-wait, I know, Guy got the money that was earmarked for Malawai, even if she left Guy the year later.
Didn't Guy get him in the divorce, why pay for something you don't have any more, cheap old whore!
maybe shes savin it up to save the USA economy
maybe shes saving it for her total body botox now she looks dog rough
maybe she doesnt give a shit now the press for adopting the black kid has died down
she should go snog someone famous on stage
oh wait shes done that already
shes old news anyway, shes like fashion - always comes round again when u think you can throw it away
Re: harrybalsac –

ok who's deleting the comments
This bitch needs to RETIRE! Please Madonna your bulging veins are NOT HOT
lol.u are so ridiculous.was gucci that made the charity party.madonna just gave her name and her money like everybody that was there,u are such a douche.madonna always gave her own money.even the money from her tour she gave something to charity
she could stand to have a little sit down with tina turner for some words of wisdom
Re: Milky Milky – teetles!
thats because her son David was an elaborate publicity stunt to get her has-been name "out there" again
she is disgusting - inside as well as outside
her books only made $4000! stupid Madonna. who likes her but the gays??
To be fair to Madonna! She gave millions to Malawi a couple of years ago. You have to be very careful, when spending money in Africa. $1 million USD is like $10-20 million USD in some African nations… then X10 AGAIN into local currency and what that buys.
If you dole out ALL the money at once! Greed and corruption sends the money into the wrong pockets.
We know Madonna is a tight bitch, when it comes to her now 1 Billion Dollar fortune. She has signed every last check since the 80s, soooo. You know she is tightfisting every last cold dollar that leaves her Vadge!
Regardless of what we think of this woman! She is a great great business woman. She pulled in $600 million alone from touring, just this decade! She knows a thing or two about money!
Shit, I'd trust this cold cow with my money any day, over ANYONE on wall street! haha
aj - that would probably be the profit of the books this year. she has not released a book in a few years. $4000 not alot.
This cold bitch just grossed $280 MILLION from her current tour that ended last week!! So i think its more than the gays showing up. Probably a bunch of closet cases like yourself!
She has given 3 MILLION to Raising Malawi. Everyone knows that. She did that in 06' or 07'
hey perez, when are you actually going to go back to actual gossip instead of crap? okay, I will help you start. since you like to copy and paste- from TMZ:
No Joke — Dane Cook's Brother Steals Him Blind
Talk about keeping it in the family — sources tell TMZ Dane Cook's brother (who was also his business manager) has been arrested for allegedly stealing millions from the comedian.
David Spade made a $100k donation to the AZ police dept.
Forget Times Square, Cabo San Lucas is the place to be this New Year's. Everyone from Cindy Crawford and Kid Rock to Jennifer Aniston and George Clooney has headed down to Mexico to ring in 2009. Slap on some sunscreen and check out the UVA-list rays.
(And I thought the only Jen and Courtney were going to be done there)
Chicago cops now tell TMZ they're not sure if the man arrested for allegedly having oral sex in a public park is a member of the Blue Man Group … but a rep for the Group says the dude has never been part of the outfit.
(so if you think you are going to be arrested, before you leave home, paint yourself blue and leave the ID on the kitchen table)
she is soo fucking overrated…she looks like a fucking man with blond hair..in person she looks like a fucking lizard..eeww..blah yawn BORING..she needs to retire..
Re: hard_candy – BULLSHIT!
Re: aj – hey asshole look at madonna stadiums and check what kind of people are in amdonna shows.not just gays asshole.im a man and im not gay.theres a lot of teen boys and girls a lot of families.not just gays.madonna is the queen.biggest tour ever,she deserves all that she got cause she is the one THAT REALLY WORKS HARDER.SHE DESERVES,NOONE DOES THINGS LIKE MADONNA.SHE IS ORIGINAL,UNIQUE.SHITNEY IS A FUCKIN WANNABE.SHE IS A MENTAL FREAK.MADONNA NEVER HAD A BREAKDOWN.SHE NEVER DISAPOINT HER FANS ASSHOLE.THATS WHY HER SHOWS ARE ALWAYS SOLD OUT.IN BRAZIL SHE PERFORMED FOR 300.000 PEOPLE,IN PORTUGAL 75.000 IN PARIS 120.000.1 MILLION PEOPLE WATCH MADONNA JUST IN EUROPE.SHE IS THE QUEEN. THE WORLD RESPECT AS THAT.ALL THE MAGAZINES SHE IS CALLIN THE QUEEN.AND SHE GIVES THE MONEY.WHEN SHE CAME TO PORTUGAL SHE GAVE MONEY TO BUILT SCHOOLS IN HERE.AND SHE GAVES A LOT OF MONEY TO MALAWI.SHE ALREADY BUILD A SCHOOL
So, Perez, you are finally beginning to see that the empress is wearing no clothes.
Ick. She's such a gross, veiny hag. Your lame act and persona grew stale two decades ago. Please go away.
Re: harrybalsac – BULSHIT ASSHOLE.DIDNT U SEE MADONNA VIDEO THAT SHOWS WHAT SHE DID IN MALAWI.SEARCHE CAUSE PEREZ POST IT
Good heavens, Perez. As much as you kiss her ass, you'd think that you would know something about her charities. The Malawi charity IS A KABBALAH charity. That charity had nothing to do with helping Malawi and everything to do with spreading her cult religion. Don't believe me? Go to the website for her charity. The school that she supposedly built is a KABBALAH SCHOOL!
Re: Sleepwalker – wow! good call on that one!
.

SHE BOUGHT THE KID AND THE ACCOUNT WAS SETTLED OBVIOUSLY!

MADONNA "JUMPED THE SHARK" WITH THIS WHOLE MALAWI THING
IN LG'S OPINION, ANYWAY.
.
"And of the $3.7 million reportedly earned from her fundraiser with Gucci and UNICEF no one's heard hide nor hair of."
Umm… ever think maybe because she was helping a UNICEF fundraiser that the money never actually went to her, and just went to UNICEF? Or are you not aware UNICEF is a very honorable charity that helps children around the world, including Malawi?
lol.hey perez POST AGAIN THE VIDEO THAT MADONNA ANOUNCED WHAT SHE BUILD IN MALAWI.IN THE PAST 2 YEARS SHE GAVE A THOUSAND OF MONEY TO MALAWI.SHE BUILD AN ENTIRE CITY IN MALAWI.the charity event from gucci everybody gave money.not just madonna.and the money stays with gucci not madonna.madonna gave the money but gucci keep it till they decide to give to madonna organization.all that she build was with her own money assholes.dont post what u dont know.fucking retarde.u guys are a douche.madonna has a life she is not like u .ur so jealous.shitney fucking fans.she will never be madonna.cant wait to shitney breakdown

Re: 1bloke – haha yes you're right. more than just gays. I'm sure there are others obviously. I was a fan of hers back in the day (80's) but she seems fake and lame now. personal opinion.
madonna and guy are together,they will celebrate the new year in maldivas together

Re: loveM – I appreciate your love for Madonna but CALM down!!!!!!!!!!! Goodness Girl………………………you're all over the place!!!
Because Madonna gave to Kabbalah and the Kabbalah centre probably helps fund her Raising Malawi charity - the kabbalah website promotes Madonna's charity and also sells her books in the store. It seems to be one and the same. By the way, thank you to whomever donated money to the Kabbalah centre's scholarship fund. I was a recipiant of a scholarship for Kabbalah 1 and now am exploring 2 and 3 on my own. It was an amazing gift!
She RAISED money for that country. Also the way they treated her and bad mouthed her after she saved little David's life, the COUNTRY deserves nothing just the little children there that live in poverty and are ill. They were cruel and mean to Madonna. She owes them NOTHING.
Anyone else think "loveM" needs to calm down?
Cula!
Love M: Just a little obessed? Shut the fuck up and go mastabate over madonna.
LoveM is madgorilla, she just can't hide her stupidity and M's a$$ licking no matter how many times she changes her nick

I guess Ma-Gappy feels she did enough for that country?
Re: Mamonna – I have a question and I'm NOT trying to be rude…….I'm curious to confirm something. Your name Mamonna……does it mean dicksucker? I have some gay Latino friends and they say something similiar to each other!!!! Just asking…………..I apologize if I offended you!!!

Why does everyone seem to not know english, grammar or the freaking use of a period? You.don't.talk.like.this.
If you haven't had a chance, read Roger Friedman's column Fox411 on FoxNews.com. He can't stand Madonna, but yet he's brought up some legitimate questions concerning her "charitable donations." She may be talking the talk, but she doesn't seem to be walking the walk.
Ah-ha, Perez wakes up to the fact that Madonna IS a material girl.
Re: JuliaGulia – Why don't you stop acting like you're hot shit and shut up!!!!!!!! It's a fucking blog post to most people not a fucking essay!
Chill.out.and.fuck.off!!!!!!!!!!
Post pics of Arod, i want to see his sexy ass, not madonna's flabby one.
Re: Synik – Nice way of putting it into perspective!
Perez, it's time for you to realize your idol is a fake, cult following moron. Joni Mitchell said it best when she said, ""Madonna has knocked the importance of talent out of the arena. She's manufactured. She's made a lot of money and become the biggest star in the world by hiring the right people."
Re: aj – I agree AJ, I was a fan back in the early years up until Ray of Light-then she went all zen (cha-ching) and just became fake to me, with her fake ass British accent, honey you are from Michigan!
After she made the SEX book her ass flaked out-that was the last Madonna purchase I made.
And I can't believe her cheap ass, donating only about $3million last year? I not gonna bust anybody's balls over donating to their *church*, but damn, let's help our own too. We have some starving, hurting people in America, it'd be nice if these people threw some of that money their way too.
I think she gives to Kabalah cause she has endorsed it and she wants it to be good cause it kind of represents her brand at this point. I am shocked at the small amounts she has given to the other charities. With her millions and millions of dollars (did I read she has $400 million?) she gives $15,000 to some group? That is like pennies for her. What is she saving all that money for?
She doesn't really give a shit about Malawi, she only wanted to adopt a black child from a dark continent.-It's cool, it's a great accesory and it's the ultimate Hollywood bullshit.-
SHe and Angelina Jolie hates each other because they are competing to be the new generation of Saints.- Of course, you must be a whore first. They both are.-
Re: aj – you're an ugly little girl.
For the love of christ, it is walking the talk, not walking the walk or talking the talk.
As far as Madonna and her money goes, what the fuck do any of us know? I just admire people like her that are driven, have a passion and go for it.
Re: Unicorn Lover –
Why can't she retire? I can't stand her!!!
FOR SOMEONE WHO HORDES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY AND WHO HAS $500M MILLION DOLLAR DOLLARS IN CASH & ASSETS, MAnDONNA'S "CONTRIBUTIONS" TO SOCIETY IS WORSE THAN PATHETIC..ONCE AGAIN, GOES TO SHOW JUST LIKE HER SO CALLED "MUSICAL ABILITIES" , HER SHOW OF SUPPORT TO HUMANITARIAN CAUSES IS ALL FAKE AND FLUFF !!! AS FAR AS MALAWI IS CONCERNCED, SHE NEVER CARED FOR THAT COUNTRY OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY FOR THAT MATTER..SHE DOES NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT OR TRULY LOVE HER ADOPTED "SON" DAVID ! SHE ONLY ADOPTED HIM TO GET FREE PRESS ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING ANGELINA GET SO MUCH ATTENTION..MADOGGA MADONKEY IS NOTHING BUT A TALENTLESS, SELF OBSESSED, ATTENTION-SEEKING LOSER !!!
You Suck Perez , get a life
Wake me when this bitch is dead. That being said, this is actually pretty typical of celebrities.
Joni Mitchell said it best when she said, ""Madonna has knocked the importance of talent out of the arena. She's manufactured. She's made a lot of money and become the biggest star in the world by hiring the right people." Re: Classic Threat –
It's true. Vadge has had the luck of working with some of the top producers in music. She is style and no substance. Hers is a career built on image and an ability to change that image in order to keep the public interested; but now it's all been done and nothing is really so shocking anymore in this here hypersexualized culture where porn is being mainstreamed and even 9 year olds are having sex.
Re: Cottonquinn – Get a Life
First of all, I'm a stay-at-home Mom with 4 kids, and I give a greater percentage of our income away then she does! WTF? Also, the fact that she gave to a Catholic Church gives me hope she will return one day and get back on track to Heaven and God and not worldly, self-centered things. God bless us all EVERYONE.
Not surprising at all. Along with all that wealth comes a sense of entitlement and a complete lack of empathy. Madonna donates 250,000 dollars to a great charity and over 2 MILLION to a religion? She sure has her priorities straight. Rich religions get a lot of money already. AIDS - not so much.
Madonna is no longer the person I once worshipped for her uniqueness. She's a fame whore who cares about propping up religion while she tosses AIDS victims to the curb.. Screw Madonna.
MANdonna is as fake ass as they come, why is anyone surprised? she does everything for publicity only, like duh! LMAO at the suckers that think she cares about anything other than herself, she's the ultimate narciscist!!! hello???? LMAO!!!
Man she looks like shit. It's one thing to copy this "nerdy" look but its quite another when old ppl wanna imitate it as well. They end up looking so ridiculous….
"Inneresting!"
Lol… what a joke you "published author of a big failure"
She probably told them that she already adopted a kid from them and thinks that should be enough.
wow their are some stupid people in this world….. only gays like madonna etc, if so she sold over 400 million records so i guess thats alot of fags lol… i love madonna and ya im gay,,,, altho i like the 80s 90s madonna more. i liked her when she was a leader but now after trying to get sales from the younger crowds by teaming up with britney,,, jt, and for christ sake kayne west… yea who actually buys cds anymore??? but after all is said and done, she is the most sucessful female artist in entertainment history. she has made some killer music….. but she is looking kinda ruff i like the fem madonna luck not the new mandonna……….
This is not suprising at all. Madonna wants to adopt from Malawi and she does not want to be seen as buying her way to the adoption. This would be the smart thing to do for her. It doesn't mean she's being cheap.
Seriously Mario, you can be quite dense sometimes.
If she thinks people are going to start wearing urkel glasses because she and a handful of other "stylish" (and I use that term loosely) celebs are, they need to put down the crack pipe and walk away, because those things are straight up hideous. Don't let me catch any of y'all wearing those things, because I will up and lose my faith in humanity.
MADONNA IS GOD.
Well, The Kaballah Center is Connected to SFK, so perhaps that is where the money went
The word is spelled INTERESTING, NOT inneresting!!!!!
Re: hard_candy – We are NOW in 2009! Those past "donations" don't count for today. Just like your rent or electric bills, they are due every month.
Madonna might be holding off on donating money directly to Malawi, for fear that doing so might be construed as an attempt to influence or cement the local officials' decisions on her adoption of David. We also may be unaware of Malawi's restrictions on donations from foreign individuals — or perhaps Madonna wants to make sure what she will donate will not be misappropriated once it reaches Malawi.
Perez, Do you do NO homework, before posting ignorant statements this this on your site??? Okay fatass, here is the scoop, Raising Malawi is under the umbrella of the Kabbalah Center Organization. So the money IS going to her own cause and Malawi. Do your fucking homework already!!!! And to all the haters FUCK YOU.
Re: TrickSlut – Yeah? What did WHORIA spend her money on last year, loser? HERSELF, that's who. Fuck off.
Queeen??? Perz, and you'll go on supporting people like that? Don't you feel "a little" ashamed?
