Sport Relief: How much do the celebrities give?
Watching tonight's Sport's Relief (and donating!), I couldn't help but wonder just how much some celebrities give out of their own pockets. Robbie Williams came on a did a couple of songs (badly in my opinion); I remember reading a couple of years ago that he signed an £80 million record deal. I also read that Davina McCall (one of tonight's hosts) earned £1.25 million for each series of Big Brother (which ran for 10 years).
I'm sure you can all think of other wealthy celebrities.
So my question is – Do you think that celebrities consider that giving their time and pleading for our money is enough?

The point of tonight's show is the time they give, and let's be honest, how many of us would do the same? I find it astounding the lengths they go to for their causes.And I suspect, the wealthiest give privately, especially the one's who have witnessed first hand the harrowing conditions here and abroad.

So you're suggesting (as my original post postulated) that the very wealthy give their time but not their actual cash?
“And I suspect, the wealthiest give privately...”. You can suspect all you like. I propose that as a percentage of monies earned, the very wealthy give less than the man in the street.

We do not know if the the celebrities give money and if they do, how much.
Your question is based purely on guesswork and jealousy.
I suspect that as in the general public, there are some very generous celebrities, and some miserly ones.
But all that is beside the point of these Charity Events. They are national days donating. The aim is to get a small amount out of as many people as possible, not a wealthy few.
