I don't get why a string of billionaires are laying out for this when they could be solving some real problems.
Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy owners donate €200 million.
L'Oreal owners donate €200 million.
Gucci/Yves Saint Laurent owners donate €100 million.
Total S.A. donate €100 million.
Another €10 million here and €10 million there from a bunch of other wealthy families.
Current total sitting just shy of €1 billion.
The Vatican alone has a net worth of $30 billion, never mind the Catholic Church in any other country.
Why? Much worse tragedies happen all the time. Puerto Rico is still decimated from Hurricane Maria. Where are the millions of dollars to help rebuild it? Children in Flint are continuing to be poisoned by their water. The cost to fix that is estimated at $55 million, yet no donations from billionaires. This is marketing on behalf of Binance, pure and simple. If they were headquartered in Paris, then I could understand it. As it stands, they are simply using this tragedy for their own gains. It's disgusting.
