Quote:Genuine people do good deeds when the spotlight is not on them. The only people that know are the ones directly involved.

I don't know Oprah personally, but am skeptical when I see many of her charitable or philanthropic deeds happen in front of her audience and/or TV cameras, or the press, mass public or Hollywood types....I know she's far from the only famous (or regular) person like this, so I am not meaning to single her out.

I get what you are saying, but Oprah (and the more enlightened philanthropists) want to ensure that ALL the money they give goes to the intended recepients. So the donations always look self-serving. She could easily hand over large sums of cash to UNICEF or Save the Children or Make a Wish Foundation or ASPCA. She is very opposed to those type of "charitable organizations" who always keep 20% or more.

Look up the operating costs of the larger charities. Check out what $$$ the CEO of The United Way or a similar organization took home from tax exempt charitable donations last year. I will give you a hint- it is more than the President of the United States earns...
