What the noble George Clooney did
Best friend of George Clooney? You get $ 1 million as a gift from him! Friendship with the famous actor can buy you a house ... literally.
One of the best friends of the star, businessman Rande Gerber revealed that in 2013 Clooney not only paid the annual taxes to his 14 best friends but gave each one one million dollars. 1 million!
We are a group of friends, we call ourselves "The Boys." George called us and invited us all to dinner at home.
When they went to the house, the boys noticed that there are 14 black suitcases for all of them, and Clooney turned a special speech.
Rande, who is married to Cindy Crawford and is a partner in Clooney's tequila maker, reveals what the actor told them during this dinner.
"I want you to know how much you mean to me and how important you are. When I came to Los Angeles I slept on your sofas and I'm so happy to know you. I would not be what I am today if I did not have you. That is why it is extremely important for me that we are still alive and healthy, and we can be together. It is also important for me to return the kindness you have done to me and I will now ask you to open your briefcases.
There was $ 1 million by $ 20 banknote. Every one of his 14 closest friends has received 1 million that night and everyone has been in absolute shock.
"I know some of you have experienced hard times and others are still experiencing them. I do not want you to worry about your children, their school or university fees, the mortgage payment! "George told them.
One of his friends was working at a Texas airport bar to support his family, the other went to work every day with bycicle. These guys helped George in the past, and now he wanted to thank them, Gerber shares.
Rande, a quite successful entrepreneur, pulled George aside and told him he could not accept this gesture, and Clooney said that if he do not take his million, no one else would get his. Thus, Gerber agreed to accept the gift and then donated the enormous amount of charity.
Rande says that this is the essence of George, he is an extremely good person who likes to give away to others. It turns out that a year later, exactly on the same date the dinner was, when Clooney married Amal. Fate definitely knows what to do!
