Samsung donates $3 million to charities chosen by Ellen

March 4, 2014

Many people would already have seen the celebrity-packed photo that Ellen Degeneres took during the oscars. Well she used a Samsung Galaxy Note to do it! There was a lot of speculation about whether Ellen was paid to use it or not, however Samsung has since released a statement that even though the event was sponsored by Samsung, Ellen decided on her own to “organically incorporate the device into the moment.”

Despite the fact that Ellen decided herself to use the device, Samsung has been happy enough with the results to donate $1.5 million each to two charities of Ellen’s choosing, which will be the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and the Humane Society.
