BERLIN (AP) -- Formula One champion Michael Schumacher plans to donate $10 million to aid efforts for tsunami victims in Asia.

Schumacher's manager Willi Weber made the pledge Tuesday in a telephone call to a fund-raiser on German television, organized in collaboration with the German Red Cross, the U.N. Children's Fund and other organizations.

I agree, that was very very generous of him. The world could use a lot more like him in this aspect...

That is quite nice of him, but not very hard when he makes as much as he does. I believe Sandra Bullock also donated $1 million.

True, but 10 million is a lot of money no matter how much you make and it is 9 million more than she did. With that being said, for her to donate 1 million, which is a lot of money as well, is a very noble thing to do IMO...

$10M to him as prolly = to $1M for her. For Sandra, she gets a tax break. If Michael lives in Monaco, he may not have a tax reason to donate money.
