He somehow forgot to mention the 3 billion he earned from his acting career in the Hunger games
Those numbers are insane, Charlie. You've earned enough to buy almost 8 cartons of eggs, you're set for life
Charlie is almost rich enough to call an ambulance if he ever needs it.
This might be the rarest thing of all time. Someone who is rich actually saying "Stop giving me money, I already have plenty"
People being mad that they can't give a rich person money is the most 1st world country problem I've ever heard 💀
This gotta be the most respectful flex I've ever seen
Never once have i seen a guy say "I have too much fucking money, please stop". Big respect man.
You didn’t just turn off donations, you turned off the illusion that top creators “need” them. This is what real transparency looks like in an industry built on parasocial guilt. Mad respect, Charlie.
How can I donate to this humble man
Charlie you have more backbone than 90% of social media. if my son grew up to be like you id be proud
