$43K, quite the gesture.

The Australian Open starts soon and I hope they use it as a vehicle to raise money (I am sure they will). The top stars can probably mostly afford to donate their paycheck.

(86,868 posts)the difference because I heard it was the Auckland not the Australian so perhaps that's what it is. It took a couple minutes to find this info so...
Even still, that she did this with her prize $ is admirable.

(13,485 posts)That's almost .07 cents for every animal that burned to death. ($0.00069) That's 7 hundredths of one cent.
Thanks for doing the math.
