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. #drthehistories
