Can you actually name a celebrity who did a promotion deal for a charity and didn’t donate any of their own money? Or is this just a hypothetical villain?
Generally these celebrities will promise to match fan donations. Either on a 1:1 basis, or some other ratio “for every dollar you donate, I’ll donate two” or “I’ll pledge ten dollars for every 20 we raise…”.
Sure some shitty Celebs don’t donate at all and expect their fans to cough up, but any decent celeb knows that their influence can be used for the common good, and their own donation can be doubled or tripled or more, just by making their pledge public.
It’s shallow and cynical to assume that every celebrity-endorsed charity is a scam. Sure many bad eggs exist (cough trump foundation cough), but many more are legit. There are services who rate charities for their legitimacy.
The celeb can’t ask other people for money while having lots of money ready to donate themselves.

I don’t follow the celebrity world so I couldn’t say

Do you have any examples? Just curious
