Tom Brady slammed for 'pathetic' $100K donation for hurricane relief after Taylor Swift’s $5M contribution

MIAMI, FLORIDA: NFL legend Tom Brady is once again in the headlines, but this time, it’s not for his achievements on the football field.

Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, Brady announced that he was donating $100,000 to relief efforts, as per Bleacher Report.

Many on the Internet was quick to compare his contribution to that of pop superstar Taylor Swift, who made headlines for donating a staggering $5 million.

Tom Brady donates $100,000 to relief efforts in wake of Hurricane Milton in Florida

On Wednesday night, Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida, causing widespread damage and leaving millions without power.

The storm, which had been classified as a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, weakened to a Category 3 by the time it hit near Siesta Key, Florida.

As it traveled across the state, it further decreased to a Category 1 storm. Despite the reduction in its strength, the hurricane caused significant destruction, leaving more than 3.3 million residents without electricity, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Brady, who has strong ties to the state after spending the final years of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, announced a $100,000 donation to assist with relief efforts.

His contribution was aimed at providing essential supplies such as food, water, and first aid to the affected communities.

"Stay safe, and stay strong, Florida," Brady shared on social media.

Brady’s donation, however, wasn’t the only celebrity contribution to the relief efforts. Swift, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, made headlines for donating $5 million to the same cause.

The charity Feeding America, which is helping distribute resources in the hurricane-affected areas, publicly thanked Swift for her massive donation.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous $5 million donation to Hurricanes Helene and Milton relief efforts,” Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of the food bank network, said in a statement.
