I never understand why celebrities spend all their money on a house. MC Hammer went broke building a house.
I wish Jordan would help some of the poor people instead of building a mansion. But when people worship the ground you walk on it seems to go to celebrities head. I admire Jordan but recently he has been doing eratic stuff. It must be because of the divorce.

Having a 45,000 square house is the American Dream. What do you expect-the guy is worth almost a million dollars; do you expect him to live in a bugaloo? What kind of eratic stuff has MJ been doing recently. No, you know if you read that Bill Gates bought this house you wouldn't say a thing.

If the richest black people spent their money helping uplift the poor blacks then I woundn't say anything about rich people splurging on themselves. Only a few rich Blacks spend money helping other Blacks. I'm mostly talking about investing in Black areas like Magic Johnson does and a few other rich black guys. I've never heard of anything Jordan has done to help Blacks, same as I never heard of Michael Jackson doing anything either. And us Blacks worship them cause they are rich.
All wealth belongs to God and you will be judged on how you spent your money. You can't take it with you but you can try to help the poor.

Its HIS money and he can do whatever he wants. It is nobody's business but his own. I am sure if I had the money I would do the same thing. He earned his money and he can spend it however he wishes.

How do you know how Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan spend their money? Or donate their money? I believe both Michaels have/had major foundations. Not to mention the huge amouth of taxes they pay. As far as worshipping rich people--some superficial black people would worship a cup of coffee if it were rich.

How has those foundations benefit those who have been supporting him?

The only Black celebrity I can think of who invests in the Black community is Magic Johnson. But its a few others who help out but they are not as famous.
These Rich Blacks like Jordan and Oprah and the late Michael Jackson are not doing enough with Their money to help the Black community.
I'm sure all these guys have charities they help out but come on. If I'm worth a billion and I only give away a million have I really done anything spectacular to help people. Especially when these people blow more money on vacation than they give to help the poor.
