Kim Kardashian wastes 10,000-300,000 on a purse. why doesn't anyone in society tell them to donate to charities? why are there so few celebs who actually donate to charities? How many homeless people would be helped if all celebs donated to charities. 10,000 to kim is little to nothing at all. I feel like this is just such a waste of money when it could be used for something so much bigger.

People can spend their money on whatever they want to, it's not your decision or anyone else's.

It's a huge waste of money, but it's not your money.

I mean, I'd be cheap even if I was rich, just less cheap.



A lot of celebrities do donate money.



And most importantly, have you ever met a homeless person? Some of them are just downright leeches, who don't want to work or are just super irresponsible, and they get others to give them stuff for free... Well, the able-minded and bodied people shouldn't be enabled by strangers that pity them to be such bums.

If I was rich, I'd attempt to employ them, because that's helping them more than handouts, but if they were irresponsible with their chance to put their life together, I'd have to boot them out and leave them to the mercy of food shelters and gullible strangers. But anyone who is willing to work, it would be lovely if they had the opportunity.

I do personally know someone, who I care about, who was homeless, and I hope he does get his life more together, but he won't if he keeps mooching, thinking he's too good to work and getting high on cough syrup and getting drunk with money his dad gave him to get a hotel so he wouldn't freeze to death.



It's a better idea to help people who will make something of it, and help people who really need it, like kids in undeveloped nations who need food or water or education.



Anyway, people get to decide what to do with their money, especially if they worked hard for it, and no one else has a right to that money. Also, everyone gets to decide what their ethics are, it's a personal thing. If you force someone to give money to charity, it's taking their right to their money and choice and individual ethics away. That is also unethical.

Many do, Kim Kardashian is a very poor example of a celebrity, she is famous for putting out a sex tape and having a rich daddy.

Paul Newman on the other hand, gave a great deal to charity, including opening his own food company Newman's Own, of which 100% of of the profits went to charity. He founded a kid['s camp called the Hole in the wall gang, it was camp for very ill children, he paid for that from his own pocket.

Robert Redford, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon are also very charitable celebrities, and they actually have talent

Its depend on individual. Some are care about charities and some are crazy for money until they forget about the poor peoples. If everyone have good heart then no poor people in this world. One more thing some celebrity donate for became more popular. Media Intention. The kind or honest person never tell when he/she donate to charity. Donation must came from ur heart not to show people that u donating. Thanks

I have no idea how much the Kardashians donate to charity and I doubt they want to make it known. Many celebs donate anonymously so they don't get hounded by other groups.

We could all do more to help the needy.

Because that's not a requirement of being a celebrity. It's their money, they can do what they want with it. Although many celebs are givers because they have a good heart, there are some who give just for publicity.

kim kardashian actually donated to charity. idk how or why i saw this but i saw some weird celeb news feed on tv showing her and her sister donating i think it was clothes? and like school supplies to kids in africa or something like that.



ontop of that we actually all donate to charity in the sense of taxes. where i live we donate to poor people so they can get medical care and also food. guess what they use it on? things like cigs or things they don't need.
