The Jolie-Pits, who every member of that family are very beautiful, are always donating to many different charities. They even have a Jolie-Pitt foundation that donated $300,000 for the relief program for Darfur refugees.
Who would pay 14 million dollars for a baby picture? All babies look the same! I guess if people want something bad enough, they will pay for it.
I think that it's really strange to pay 14 million for some celebrity baby pictures you can easily find on google, but I guess it's good that all the money is going to charity...
It's interesting to know that the Jolie-Pitt foundation has been donating a lot of money to charities. They even donated to the relief program for Darfur refugees, at the amount of $300,000.
I don't know what the big deal is about a bunch of celebrity baby photos. 14 million dollars is a lot of money but it is good that all of it went to charity. Brad and Angelina do donate a lot of money to charity and have done some really good things.
Raising millions off of one picture is crazy. I think it's great that the Jolie-Pit Foundation then donates the money to charities across the nation and even world-wide.
I think that is great that Getty Images are donating such a great deal of money to charity. Angelina and Brad have always been donating money to charities for years and its great that they continue to do so. If only there were more celebrities that would donate like Angelina and Brad do.
Well this is sort of a wierd way to raise money, but if you using the money on something useful then I dont see any wrong in it. This might be crazy but there are crazy people out there.
First off, I find it kind of sick to be selling rights of a baby's first photo. However, since they aren't keeping the money to themselves, it's not as bad. I think in someway is has to do with economics because it's dealing with American money and charities. I'm not really sure though. It's great that the Jolie-Pitt's are using their money for charity, which kind of helps America and its economy.
Although it seems outrageous to spend millions of dollars on baby photos, magazines and other forms of media are willing to pay. I feel it is a bit extreme at $14 million, but it is benefitting a great cause. I am glad that the Jolie-Pitt foundation is willing to help underpriveleged children throughout the world and boost our economy.
Well that’s very ridiculous, to spend that amount of money trying to get a baby picture. Instead I would use it for something more beneficial. Kind of like what Angelina and Brad are doing. I am glad that they are kind enough to donate to a relief program, but the baby picture is something in my opinion outrageous. Also I think its good that they are aiding the economy by donating that really is some relief.
I believe that it is a good thing that the Jolie-Pits donate such a large amount of money to charities, even though the people who actually buy a 14 million dollar baby picture is a little crazed. i believe it had to do with economics because of the way they actually handle the american money. By that I mean they raise it not to keep it, but to give it to charity.
Angelina and Brad make a very adorable couple and do an amazing work for people in need. I honestly think it's for publicity, but however they want to spend their millions of dollars off of one picture is fine with me. I just wish their next bundle of cash from baby pictures ends up in my bank account!
14 million dollars? I love the fact that the money went to charities but for a silly baby photograph seems a little strange to me.
It's unbelievable that someone would be willing to pay $14 million for the rights of a baby picture, but, at the same time, the money is going for a good cause. So, if people are willing to pay millions for a picture, let them do it, because it is only helping the economy.
This is kind of a sick way to get money for charity. And really the Jolie-Pitts are tricking them into donating. and for what some pictures of children that dont even know there faces are being sold for million of dollors to be put on some magazine. i dont get it.....shows you what people are willing to spend money on... On the flip side, the issues that they are donating all this money ttoo are really great. but i wish Americans could see some more of this money, people forget we have problems here too.
This is a very beautiful family, however I know I wouldnt pay $14 million for a picture of them. Since they know other people will though, I'm glad they are using it to help out the economy, and even make their own Jolie-Pitt foundation.
I sure wouldn't pay 14 million dollars for a baby picture. But it is for a good reason and i can see why they did it. I think its really good that its in exchange for a donation to charity. =]
Its simple. Take 10 pictures of your newborn baby and your family is set for your life their life and future generations on. Or like they and a lot of other starts do donat the money like they should do to a good charity. If you have it you should help out.
14 MILLION!?!?!?! Wow. Maybe that's a good business to get into. But seriously, 14 million for a pciture of a baby is ridiculous.
A bit outrageous, yes? 14 $million for baby photos? i think its good that Jolie-pit foundation is doing this for a good cause. Ghetty images should be greatly appreciated for donating such money.
Unless this baby was born with some crazy thing like diamonds for eyes then a picture of a baby isnt worth that much. Though if the money is going to a good charity then its fine. But really that is outragous.
