3. Virgil Wants To Be His Own Million Dollar Man
If you’re going to e-beg Internet strangers for money, why not beg all the way? That seems to be the reasoning behind wrestler Virgil— born Mike Jones— asking GoFundMe to make him a literal millionaire.
Best known for serving as bodyguard to Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, for some bizarre reason Virgil decided 2015 was the year to become a millionaire himself. “I will inspire you that million dollar dreams can come true,” he wrote on his GoFundMe campaign.
The comments were not kind, with one man offering to donate a fresh turd, while another wrote “I wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.”
Despite the comment section rants, Virgil raised $1,185 toward his ambitious $1 million goal.
2. Bodybuilder Desperate For Help
Nicole Bass has come a long way from her days with the Extreme Championship Wrestling and her many years on the professional bodybuilding circuit throughout the 80s and 90s.
She debuted as Sable’s bodyguard at WrestleMania XV in 1999; by 2015, she was getting arrested for stealing from grocery stores and desperately begging for help on GoFundMe. “I don’t want to end up homeless and I’m being evicted,” she wrote on the campaign started in November of 2015. “I’m not just looking for handouts so if anybody wants to hire me for an appearance I am available,” she said.
Seeking $5,000, she raised $924.
1. The Game And His Big-Hearted Son
It’s really hard to call it “begging” when it’s for a good cause, but given that The Game’s net worth is estimated at $25 million, one has to wonder why he needed to start a GoFundMe at all.
The Game and his 13-year-old son Harlem started not one but two GoFundMe campaigns in 2016. The first was to benefit Little Rock, AR police officer Tommy Norman as a thank you for his work in the black community handing out toys and snacks to neighborhood kids. With a $50,000 goal, the campaign quickly surpassed that and then some.
Shortly after that successful campaign, the father/son duo was back on GoFundMe, this time raising money to help a little boy named Zachaeus in Asheville, NC who had been shot in the face on his 3rd birthday. That campaign nearly doubled its $5,000 goal.
