Jennifer Aniston's big top-secret surprise on the season finale of Oprah's Big Give has been hinted at in the media for weeks now, and we felt predictably let down when all was said and done.
Drew Barrymore recently went on Oprah to donate $1 million of her own money to charity; surely this had to be even bigger, right? Wrong.
After thanking each of the seven contestants for their work and awarding them their cash gifts of $10,000, she caused mouths to drop even more when she declared, 'That just felt too good. I personally would like to triple it. So we're going to go $30,000. Guys, thank you for doing this and inspiring everybody.'
Of note: Aniston earned $14 million last year, according to Forbes. While $210,000 is quite a bit of money, we can't help but feel underwhelmed. She should have adopted an orphan or something.

I watched Oprah's Big GiveAway show, and saw Jennifer Aniston's personal give away of $30,000 to two of the constestants, and $100,000.00 to the winner, of which $500,000 was to be given to needy, and $500,000.00 for the winner's personal descretional use. I'm surprised being an online blog site you aren't aware of the many charitable acts and cash donations Ms Aniston has made over the many years of her successful year. She's just dosen't do it for publicity, but rather in a more private and humanitarian manner. Not so self serving this way wouldn't you agree?
I'm so over Oprah and her constant pontification.
Not to be disrespectful, Molly, but since you snarked away at Jennifer, I feel I can ask you this. Just how much did you personally give to charity last year?
She gave away her own money-last time I checked giving was not a competitive sport.Some of you seem to think it is. As for what she does give to charity-you guys have no clue…Oprah said Jennifer is a very giving person. Oprah also said that Jennifer contributes a great deal of her time and money. She gives to a lot of things…do some work…and I know it is saying the same thing as Karen mentioned..but Molly what exactly have you given to charity this year…
Who is Molly? Where did my beer go!? Jennifer Aniston is chill.
Here's your beer, YerMom, I was watching it for you.
pfft why didnt she cure cancer? huh? yeah didnt think you could answer that.
I have to stick up for "Molly" Karen and Carolina are totally ripping into her.
