<\/p>\nSome of you may have already heard the rumor that George Clooney gave $1 million to each of his 14 closest friends. Let’s find out the truth today.<\/p>\n
On MSNBC’s ‘Headliners’ in 2017, Rande Gerber, Clooney’s close friend and Casamigos business partner, told the truth. Also, in a 2020 interview with GQ, Clooney finally addressed the issue.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The actor recalls, ‘Amal and I had just met, but we weren’t dating at all.’ ‘I was a lone wolf. We were all getting older. I was around 52 years old at the time. And the majority of my friends are my elder.’<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that he was single at the time, he considered himself fortunate to have had a life filled with devoted best friends. He added that these gentlemen had always helped him whenever he needed it for the previous 35 years.<\/p>\n
‘They assisted me when I needed help over the years,’ the heartthrob remarked. And over the years, I’ve been able to assist them. ‘We’re all best mates.’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
‘And I realized that without them, I wouldn’t have any of this.’ And because we’re all so close, I just figured that if I get hit by a bus, they’ll all be in the will. ‘So why the bloody hell am I expecting to be run over by a bus?’ he laughed.<\/p>\n
At the time, his film ‘Gravity,’ starring Sandra Bullock, had just been released and was a box office success. He’d recently received a large sum of money for it. He then decided that rather of saving them, he would share it with his friends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The actor devised a strategy based on ‘Ocean’s Eleven.’ Clooney picked up $14 million in cash from a Los Angeles warehouse renowned for having “huge pallets” of cash in a van with ‘Florist’ painted on one side.<\/p>\n
He then proceeded to pack each of 14 Tumi cases with $1 million. Then he called his closest friends, whom he refers to as ‘The Boys,’ and invited them to dinner the next day.<\/p>\n
The actor narrated, ‘And I just held up a map and I just pointed to all the locations I got to go in the world and all the things I got to see because of them.’ Let’s see what Gerber recalls about the lovely memory.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
‘Listen, I want you all to know how much you’ve meant to me and how much you matter to me in my life,’ he remembers George saying. <\/p>\n
‘When I first arrived in Los Angeles, I slept on your couch. I’m so fortunate to have all of you in my life, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. <\/p>\n
So, while we’re all still here together, it was critical to me that I give back. As told by Gerber, Clooney added, ‘So I want you all to unzip your baggage.’ <\/p>\n
Everyone was stunned when the luggage were unlocked. To top it off, the actor claimed that they had already paid their taxes. What an incredible man.<\/p>\n
‘One was working at an airport bar in Texas, trying to support his family,’ Gerber explained. ‘Every day, he rides his bicycle to work. <\/p>\n
These are the folks that looked after George, and now he’s returning the favor.’ As a wealthy businessman, Gerber attempted to return the cash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Clooney, on the other hand, refused, saying, ‘I’m only going to make one announcement.’ Nobody gets their money unless Rande takes the million dollars.’ Instead, Gerber donated it all to charity.<\/p>\n
The cosmos then cooperated to give back to the Hollywood superstar just over a year later. On September 27, 2014, he married Amal Clooney, a human rights lawyer.<\/p>\n
