George Clooney Co-founded Casamigos.
Sold for a Billion dollars.
George Clooney posed with his wife Amal and his 14 closest friends (known as "The Boys") at a dinner party in September 2013, where he famously gifted each of them a Tumi suitcase containing $1 million in cash ($14 million total) along with covering their yearly taxes...
The story was made public in 2017 by Clooney’s friend Rande Gerber, who was at the dinner. He said Clooney invited the group over, then wheeled in the suitcases one by one.
Gerber said he tried to turn the money down, but Clooney told him that if he didn’t take it, no one would. Clooney also reportedly paid the taxes on all of the gifts, so his friends wouldn’t owe anything.
Clooney later confirmed the story. He said many of the friends had helped him when he was broke and struggling as a young actor in Los Angeles in the 1980s, and that some of them were going through hard times of their own.
The total gift came to $14 million.
Clooney could afford it. In 2013, he co-founded the tequila brand Casamigos with Rande Gerber and businessman Mike Meldman. Four years later, they sold it for up to $1 billion.

What the average African hasn't yet fully grasped is that when CIA assets masquerading as presidents of your nation seem to be failing at their jobs, they aren't. You're simply not privy to their actual JDs. They were specifically installed to destabilise national economic progress.
During their performance assessments, they're told, "Great work! Here's a little gift." And it's a Zoom call with Will Smith or Beyoncé singing "Happy Birthday", or whatever childhood American hero they're dying to meet.
Still, it's a gorgeous day out and there are reasons to be grateful. Happy Sunday!
