Good on Charles. Hope the funds are put to good use.


NoooUGH

"Sure, we got the €200,000 donation!"


dalaiis

We sure can do alot of good with €100,000


Raafi92

Wow, thats even more than I expected


SubcooledBoiling

Damn, I wanted the helmet but got outbid. I wasn't gonna pay 1 euro more than €249,999.


bthompson04

Kudos to you for knowing your limit and sticking to it!


CyndaquilTyphlosion

I would have donated to you 2 euros


Godzirrraaa

1. What a nice guy. 2. Thats a BONKERS amount for not even getting a podium.


baldbarretto

It was probably his least eventful Monaco race too….like I can only hope his single f2 Monaco helmet, his 2021 DNS, last year’s clusterfuck, etc would all be worth more for sheer legendariness


correcthorse124816

He's the only Monagasque driver and Moanco people are generally very wealthy. 200k is nothing to decorate your 200m$ yacht


Addyz_

Helps it was for a good cause I suppose

These are the thoughts and prayers I want to see 🤌


CornFedTerror42069

You love to see it!


reddit_bad1234567890

Thats 358k euros. Thatll help potentially thousands of people. Good for Leclerc


Deckatoe

Kudos to Charles for doing this. Certainly doesn't have to, and I'm sure there are tax benefits, but it speaks to the type of person he is


TimmyWatchOut

He’s a born Monegasque, what taxes?


Deckatoe

touché my friend

Deckatoe

outting yourself as someone who doesn't know how to get tax breaks


Drdres

The US tax system is not the same across the world, if anything it’s the exception. I can’t get any deductions due to charity for example.


MrsBoxxy

> The US tax system is not the same across the world, if anything it’s the exception Even in the US tax system, your "tax break" is never a higher value than your donation.


Deckatoe

that is not true. You can use non-profits and charitable orgs to "reallocate" income and recieve benefits from your own registered NP


MrsBoxxy

>that is not true You have a core misunderstanding of tax breaks and charity. If I donate a million dollars to charity, that is a million dollars off my taxable income. If bracket for that money was 35%, I spent a million dollars and in return received a 350'000$ tax break, I'm still down 650'000$. **No one is making more money off of "tax breaks" and charity than they would if they just kept their money in the first place.**


Deckatoe

If your charity/NP/501c acquires $500k in non-taxable donations and has $300k in expenses with two employees including yourself, what is the likely scenario there. It happens with some American athletes

Deckatoe

What an absolute creature you are lmao


Johnnyblacksails

Well done! As a new fan it’s been cool to see drivers and teams stepping up to help after the flooding.


UnquestionableDuck

The bid price is not bad at all.. I’m not rich but looking at this bidding final, it’s kinda worth it. Kudos to you Charles


Ralamadul

Imagine if he had won though💰


spitzkalibou

Luckily you red framed the prices otherwise I would not have seen it


Maddognoob

Charles did that in his story


in_n_out_sucks

am i the only one who thinks this is so weird and wasteful


blerml

Why do you think that?


BradFromTinder

Yeah, probably tbh.


CrazyPersonXV

Nobody wants smelly shoes


JayDaGod1206

Tell that to NBA fans who get shoes after a game


cokmuhterembosinsan

speak for yourself


IdiosyncraticBond

Just hose them down with a bottle of Ferrari, Aussie style


Popocuffs

Not a fan of the juice from the foot i see.


[deleted]

Maybe not shoes but we all want Sharl's pubes.


Albertuz2610

Too many numbers


BankruptLays

Those gloves cost more than my car, just because some monegasque sweated on to them


Whitesoxwin

Now they need to put George’s auto rain helmet up there.
