Harvey Weinstein Hasn't Much To Give [The Rich]
Gawker August 8, 2008 8:59 AM
It's been such a rough couple of years for Harvey Weinstein. The movie mogul has seen disappointment at the box office, his MySpace for millionaires continues to flatline, the value of its video distributor has been decimated. Perhaps that's why his charitable foundation, set up in honor of his parents like former studio Miramax, contributed just 96,000 last year. Apparently that's not much when you're a man of means. According to Cityfile, just $64,000 of that amount went to actual charities, the rest being overhead. Assuming Weinstein isn't stashing his donations somewhere else, one has to wonder whether he hates the poors — or is just afraid of becoming one. (On the mogul scale, of course.) [Cityfile]
