Via: digg.com: Keanu Reeves Gives \u00a350 Million to Unsung Heroes of ‘Matrix’<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Man of the moment Keanu Reeves has shown his generosity by giving away \u00a350 million of his earnings from the Matrix sequels. The 38-year-old decided to hand over the money to the unsung heroes of the sci-fi blockbusters – the costume and special effects teams.<\/p>\n

Keanu is expected to make a total of \u00a370 million from the films, thanks to a deal which guarantees him a 15 per cent profit-share, so he will still net around \u00a320 million. Asked about his prodigious act of generosity, the actor said he already had enough cash. “Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries,” he declared.<\/p>\n

And it’s not the first time the Beirut-born star has shown his jaw-dropping benevolence. While shooting the films in Australia he amazed the team of stuntmen by giving them each a \u00a36,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle. And the actor, whose sister has leukaemia, has also channelled millions into cancer research.<\/p>\n

His gift to the Matrix series’ 29 behind-the-scenes whiz-kids will see each of them receiving \u00a31.75 million. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On dira ce qu’on voudra, on a beau avoir des tonnes d’argent, donner \u00a350,000,000.00 sur \u00a370,000,000.00 est absolument incroyable. On lui souhaite de ne jamais manquer d’argent par la suite!
