Rather than mobilize their elite friends into taking action, the duo instead called upon all of the working class citizens to donate to their fund.

They claimed that the "People's Fund of Maui" would provide immediate assistance to the victims.

They pledged $10 million of their own wealth to the fund.

However, many questioned why Oprah (net worth $2.5 Billion) and Johnson ($270 million) wouldn't have donated more themselves.

At the very least, they could have asked for help from their rich celebrity friends.

Instead, they provided the "infrastructure" for their idea following the donations.

You're telling me they couldn't just get this money directly to the people themselves?

Business Insider has more on the outrage:

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Oprah Winfrey launched a relief fund to help aid local residents who were affected by wildfires that ravaged large sections of Maui, Hawaii, but viewers hit back and asked why the celebrity duo couldn't donate more of their own millions, instead of appealing to people with less money.
