Leo Donates $1 Million To Haiti Relief
Filed under: Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has a big wallet and an even bigger heart. The actor has generously donated $1 million to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
Wow!
The money donated will support near-term assistance and long-term recovery efforts.
Former President George W. Bush said in a statement:
"I salute Leonardo DiCaprio for his extraordinary generosity. This donation sends a clear message to the people of Haiti that America's commitment to helping rebuild their country is strong. I thank Leo for setting a wonderful example for all Americans of helping a neighbor in need."
A good example indeed!
Maybe Leo's donation will inspire others to tune in an donate to Friday night's telethon.

Blaaaake Hooks Up With A Tranny Amy Lookalike!
I love Leo, what a nice guy on top of it
Thats great….take note doughboy/oprah/and so on!!!!!!!
Luvz it!!!
100% write off, big fucking deal
that's all?
Leo loves life. I love Leo.
Pocket change for these people and a nice little tax write-off. That's like saying I gave a nickel. Big whoop.
Your cheap ass hag girlfriend Madonna donated one quarter of that much. Bitch couldn't part with her bucks.
i smell haliburton all over this bush-clinton "rebuild haiti" boondoggle.
Good for him!! Makes Madge's donation look a bit chincy.
what a big heart! I want to marry Leo.
Love it!! He's making a great example is right. Maybe some of the other celebs with overly large bank accounts should do something good with their money!
I wish they would donate money to us americans who are in a "recession" but I guess where not if we can give them millons of dollars & let them live here with us please stars donate 2 us you know the people who made you guys rich & watch you movies concert
Donate USA lol
Thank you Leo, you are a good man.
oh, such a nice guy he is! good to hear this
WHO CARES? After Haiti spends all the money,they will be right back where they started……..NEEDING MORE. Reminds me of the middle east situation, why keep throwing good money after bad?
This is why I love Leo. He is from my hometown and we went to grade school together. Its so great to see he still understands the value of a dollar and how it can help others…. sharing his financial success to help others in need - and all of his additional philanthropic work too. I'm so proud of him!
i love him - such a great guy!
Now that's puttin your money where your mouth is! Way to go, DiCaprio! You're awesome on ALL fronts!
That's great, and I appreciate it. Did anyone watch CNN last night? All those meds and supplies sitting on the tarmack with NO way to distribute them? Stupid deaths continue, when the army could load up a fricken truck and get those meds to the hospitals. Oh no, instead water and meds are lined up in shiny little tents. I won't give 1 more penny until I see the haitians being helped. And right now they are not!!! There is no excuse for this f-up.
So Leo donates $1 million, Sandra Bullock donates $1 million and Tiger Woods donates $3 million. Yet the sea-hag Mandonna only donates $250,000? LOL! What a monstrosity she is.
Re: Brainbug – Agreed. It's really embarrassing for her. DId you read her brother's book? She is so cheap, and would barely pay her employees. Not a big fan anymore.
I like how all these minor stars are giving away big bucks…then a company like Walt Disney donates 100G's…..wow
Re: SOMETHING SMELLS – seriously? it's fucking a million bucks..
i donated $20 thats about 5 million in Leo dollars
WHY oh WHY oh WHY does it take a fucking DISASTER for these rich fuckheads to open their wallets?
Do they not care ON A REGULAR BASIS?
Nope, only when they feel the pressure. Otherwise, it's Mercedes, mansion, cocaine and Armani suits.
BLECHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…..
Super for the Haiti people to have money, but in my opinion, a poor and defenseless country could probably have used this million dollars earlier…. you know, to create stronger buildings to withstand earthquakes.
Just sayin.'
Quit saluting these fucks for helping only when the world demands it. Start demanding that they step up and become the decent and responsible human beings they SHOULD be on a DAILY BASIS.
How come these nice celebs aren't donating anonymously? They just want to up their cred.
I would jump off a cliff if Bush thanked me .. I hate his guts,but I LOVE Leo for doing that :`) hes SOO nice
Re: jones19 – as you can see above he didn't say shit…it was the Bushman that gave him credit.LEO IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR right along with Jack Nicholson.
In other news, Barack "Stingy with his own money, but not with the taxpayers' money" has donated $15,000 to Haitian relief. He and Michelle spend more than $15K on 1 of their stupid ass date nights.
Re: ghound –
Somehow I am going to guess Obama gave about $15,000 more than you did.
Right?
He only approved $100 million in aid and sent the military in there to help the people, but that's nothing, right?
Jackoff…
Yes, and how much have you donated Mario?
Madonna is probably going to adopt a whole orphanage to make up for her cheap ass donation. She probably wants to to outdo The adulterous Pitt-Jolie clan any way she can
this is so stupid. noone should be donating to Haiti, they should be giving the money to us. What about all the people who are dieing in our own country? Or the people from Hurricane Katrina, noone helped out with that. But of coarse America has to stick there nose up everyone elses ass. good for you stupid stars.
I'd like to see each of the celebs on the telethon tonight donate $1milion in the name of the fan base that's made them so fabulously, ridiculously rich. Otherwise it's just a publicity gig - they donate a song, an hour or two of their time to ask their unemployed fans to give money? Something's wrong with this picture. Cough it up guys - you're ridiculously overpaid and you know it…….how about 10% of their earnings from their last picture alone?
He is so yummy and generous love you boo!!!!
I'm not a fan but I regret making fun of his face now. Good to hear about this generosity.
Let's do the math. If he is worth $1 billion minus $1 million still equals almost $1 billion left. What a sweetheart.
Those who are in doubt that Americans are not with Haiti, please check it. Americans are always with the people. I am really proud of them.
Oh how I love him. I especially loved listening to him tell about how he was helping rebuild the hospital there. That's 750K more than what Madonna donated. Everyone seems to have donated 1Mill but she is richer than all of them and only donated 250K. lmao
Re: Brainiac – Didn't you watch? Leo talked about how he went over and helped in the hospital. He's done a lot to help. I belive he has a big heart.
Leo's a sweetheart.
God leo is you wanna donate donate to EVERY ORGANIZATION BUT anything related to effin Bush!
SEXY BITCH!
Re: diAMONd773 – well if u want to be an ass just stop watching their MOVIES, CONCERTS AND LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS and SHUT THE FUCK UP
Re: Brainiac – here here!!!!
Re: lacebra – you do know its not the actually people of Haiti it is their GOVERNMENT that causes this poor poor economy, infrastructure, oppression…. idiot!!!!!
We would all have money to give if Bush hadn't helped bankrupt our country. Ironic, huh. BTW, great job on New Orleans. His focus should have started there. Sorry if I can't believe his new found sympathy. Give your money to Doctors without borders. At least they can repair the next person his friends shoot in the face!
aw:) leo's just awesome
wow now thats my man
Re: dreamygrl – Yes I do wanna be an ass because our own people are suffering but do they give a shit so you shut the fuck up because Us americans need money more than the haitians seriously they are their own country
yaaayyyiiii leo!!! lalalalove him!!!
Wait…how much…I mean little….did that self-righteous whore Madonna donate again?
