I gave Red Cross $50 earlier today. Considering Schumi's net worth vs
mine I'd say were about equal in the donation dept :-)

Of course he's loaded, but that still represents about 10 - 20% of his
annual income. I made my own modest effort, 10-20%... think about it. That
is a substantial gesture, and it will be interesting to see who else steps
up. Schumy's "neighbours" (Tina Turner, Phil Collins, IKEA founder, several
major bankers etc.) here in Switzerland have comparable wealth, but I
haven't heard much noise about their donations.

Maybe they prefer *not* to talk about it in public?

Just a thought.

Entirely true. Some choose to be anonymous, some disclose their
contribution, perhaps to motivate others. It turns out Schumy had a very
personal reason to donate (his bodyguard and bodyguard's children were
killed in the flood). Every donation is great, no matter the amount.

Talking can help raise more funds as others may feel they're put to shame if
they don't donate. I think if someone seriously wants to support someone or
something, he'll donate and then talk about it, to make others follow his example.
