George Clooney Gifts $1M to Each of His 14 Closest Friends and Netizens Can’t Keep Cool
The latest revelation that George Clooney has gifted USD 1 million each to 14 of his close friends, has left the netizens in frenzy.
The confirmation was also made by the Hollywood superstar in a recent interview that he did gift $1 million each to 14 of his closest friends in 2013 as a token of appreciation for all they’ve done for him.
In the interview, the 59-year-old actor said, “I thought, what I do have are these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another. I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke. They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the years. I thought you know, without them I don’t have any of this. And we’re all really close, and I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will. So why the f— am I waiting to get hit by a bus?”.
“I said, ‘How do you repay people like that?’ And I said, ‘Oh, well: How about a million bucks?’. And the fun part about it was: That was the 27th, the 28th of September. A year later, on the 27th of September, just by happenstance, was the day I got married, ” he added.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” star also revealed that the money was given in suitcases made by the brand Tumi.
Netizens after finding all the details cant keep their cool.
