To celebrate my Mortality Tour, my Netflix Special, my Golden Globes
nomination & The Spirit of Christmas, I am donating £2.43 Million to Animals.
These are the lovely charities I’ve chosen. Merry Xmas Critters ❤️

2.43 is an unusual figure to land on Good on him though, putting his money where his mouth is

Ricky Gervais has donated £2.5million to animal charities from the proceeds of his popular Mortality world tour.

The comedian, 64, divided the generous pre-Christmas donation between 22 charities - with some receiving up to £150,000 - beating his previous record of £1.9million to 11 organisations two years ago.

Announcing the gift, Mr Gervais posted on X: 'To celebrate my Mortality Tour, my Netflix Special, my Golden Globes nomination & The Spirit of Christmas, I am donating £2.43 Million to Animals.

Interesting that he gives to animals rather than children’s charities.. but either way he’s incredibly generous

He could have done so quietly. No need to blow a trumpet

It is great publicity for the charities andf they appreciate it. They all get a large rise in other donations on the back of it.

He prefers animals to people like many people do

Bit of a skinflint. I say £20m would be more acceptable.

When Taylor Swift donates millions of her wealth she’s torn apart for it.

Good for him

Nice one, Ricky...

Charities will benefit, but so will he. Anyone who knows me knows what i think about charities. He is basically giving a Christmas bonus to the people who run them
