So Madonna earned $76 million last year and she's charging her fans $10,000 to take a picture with her as a donation to the hospital she's building? Why can't she just donate all her earnings from last year to build and sustain the hospital?

She's already created schools and hospitals from her own money, how are you helping?

The whole point of philanthropy and charity is to use your own money and resources... That doesn't end just because you've done enough. And I don't have any desire to help, so it doesn't really matter what I'm doing. For what it's worth, I'm not using other people's money for my own goals.
