Michelle Wie Donates $500 Thousand to Hurricane Relief

American golfer Michelle Wie recently got to hang out with Bill Clinton after donating $500 thousand to charity:

Michelle Wie added a round of golf with Bill Clinton to her precocious resume on Monday when she donated US$500,000 to a fund for victims of hurricane Katrina co-administered by the former U.S. president. The sporting summit took place at the Southern Highlands Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Wie presented a check to the charitable foundation created by Clinton and fellow ex-president George Bush Sr.;I just saw clips of; the devastation, she said. And I really wanted to help out. I really do hope it helps a lot of people…. Compared to all the disaster, it’s such a small amount of money.”

At least the article didn’t call her “Korean golfer Michelle Wie” for change. However, I do find it comendable that she donated such a huge sum of money. It is amazing when you think about it, that a 16 year old girl donated more to the hurricane relief then most foreign countries.
