In the various time-travel and rebirth stories that I often read in my previous life, the most common trick was to gain huge wealth through World Cup betting.

But for Gilbert Jr., that was not necessary at all. With his financial resources, he could directly buy the largest casino in Las Vegas and the largest gaming company in Europe and become the banker.

With Gilbert Jr.’s current wealth, even if he participates in World Cup betting, it will not help much in increasing his wealth and it is meaningless.

However, when the World Cup was held, Gilbert Jr. still accompanied Charlize Theron to watch the opening ceremony and participated in several charity events.

"Honey, don't you have a football club? It seems like you are not very interested in football."

While watching the match between France and Uruguay, Charlize Theron saw that little Gilbert looked bored and asked curiously.

"It was such an ugly game, it was a bladder game."

Gilbert ruthlessly complained: "I think I am still suitable for watching basketball and football. Even if I don't score, at least I can watch it as a fighting game."

Charlize Theron rolled her eyes beautifully: "With so many people on the court, it would be a lot of fun if a fight broke out."

Gilbert Jr. once accompanied Charlize Theron to South Africa, but that was more than ten years ago. After more than ten years, South Africa seems to have not changed much, and its development seems to be stagnant.

However, this World Cup has brought a lot of tourists to the local area. These guests from all over the world will definitely have other consumption besides watching the games.

But no matter what, there is one place these guests don't want to go, and the South African government doesn't want people to see, and that is the slums.

Charlize Theron cares very much about charity in South Africa and comes to South Africa almost every year to do some charity activities. This time she simply brought little Gilbert along.

"As the World Cup ignites global passion, we gather here not only to witness the glory of football, but also to sow the seeds of hope.

As former South African President Mandela said: Sports has the power to change the world.

At this moment, we are using football as a bond to transform this power into sincere care for poor children in Africa."

At the charity event, although the biggest traffic during the World Cup was from major football stars, Gilbert Jr. and Charlize Theron still attracted a lot of reporters.

What's more, several Arsenal internationals also took time out to attend the charity event.

With their encouragement, almost all the stars of the national teams participating in the World Cup have participated in this charity event to varying degrees.

Linking charity and football has achieved good results.

Of course, it must be admitted that most of them are just here for show.

After all, a good off-court image is also part of what makes a star player. A star who does charity will obviously have a better reputation than a star who doesn't.

Little Gilbert holds a little white girl in his left hand and a little black boy in his right hand, symbolizing peace and friendship and the elimination of racial discrimination.

He continued to talk in front of the reporter: "There was a story that an American girl named Lucy tried to attend a charity dinner with only $30 in change, but was stopped by the security guard.

At this time, Sally said to her: Charity is not about money, but about the heart.

In the end, her piggy bank became the most valuable donation in the whole event, which tells us that the value of kindness is never measured by the amount.

No matter what you donate or how much it is worth, just donate according to your ability and show your goodwill.”

Charlize Theron invited a man named Toko, who was once a beneficiary of Charlize Theron's charity project in South Africa.

Toko said: "My life changed because of charity, because of football. When I was wandering on the street, I got a football.

This football led me to join a community football team and also enabled me to get a sports scholarship to the University of Cape Town.

Now I have returned to my hometown and opened a youth football school, helping more than 300 children stay away from violence and crime. Doing small things within your power will make the world a better place. "

Perhaps because of their outstanding charity work, Gilbert Jr. and Charlize Theron stole a lot of attention during the World Cup and were hailed as the most beautiful couple.

Of course, the whole world knew that Gilbert Jr. had more than one wife, although they were all unmarried.

Some media joked that the federal government should amend the law to allow more than one man to marry. But it is true that many people are very interested in this proposal, and most of them are women and other people of unknown gender.

Don't doubt it, these people also want to date multiple people at the same time.

Affected by the World Cup in South Africa, the overseas film market has shrunk to varying degrees. Smart Hollywood film companies usually postpone overseas release dates until the World Cup fever is over.

Some media also criticized Gilbert Jr. and Charlize Theron's charity work in South Africa as a show, and a reporter from The Guardian raised sharp questions.

“What do you think of the accusation of charity showmanship?”

"How? Sit and watch."

Gilbert said: "I remember an ad slogan of LV, that truth is more important than perfection. If a show can change the fate of 300 children, do you think the show itself is meaningless?"

The reporter was speechless. After all, it was true that Gilbert Jr. was putting on a show, but he also donated a lot of things.

According to media statistics, Gilbert Jr. and Charlize Theron donated a total of 20 million US dollars in cash and goods for this World Cup charity trip.

Although the 20 million dollars is not worth mentioning to Gilbert Jr., it can change the fate of many people.

Moreover, when Gilbert Jr. does charity, he hates it most when someone enriches himself, and he does not trust the International Red Cross or other charitable organizations.

There is serious corruption within these charitable organizations. Although they claim to be doing charity work, they have long become tools for insiders to pursue personal gain.

Therefore, all the charity funds are handled by Gilbert Jr. through the Fruit Charity Foundation. The Fruit Charity Foundation also has a special official website to publicize the destination of all the donated materials.

By logging into this website, you can check the whereabouts of every sum of funds without having to worry about them being swallowed up by insiders.

Of course, necessary supervision is also essential.

It is also because of the good operation of the Fruit Charity Foundation that this charity foundation has become the most reputable charity organization and receives a lot of donations every year.

After completing their charity trip to the World Cup in South Africa, Gilbert Jr. and Charlize Theron returned to North America on a private jet.

On the plane, Charlize Theron flipped through the thank-you cards her children had made and asked Gilbert, "Do you think we've changed anything?"

"Of course, at least the children won't have to worry about bread and hot soup tomorrow, and swings and candy."

Gilbert Jr. said this while holding Charlize Theron's hand.

As private jets fly across the Atlantic Ocean, the North American film market is bustling.

This year seems to be a big year for animated films. After the success of "Shrek Forever After", other animated films have been released one after another.

"Toy Story 3" produced by Disney, "Despicable Me" produced by Blue Sky Studios under Universal Pictures, and another work of DreamWorks, "How to Train Your Dragon", were released one after another.

These animated films have achieved good reputation and results. The North American market has not been affected by the World Cup and continues to maintain a strong summer performance.

After returning to North America, Gilbert Jr. treated the World Cup trip in South Africa as a vacation, although it was not a relaxing vacation. (End of this chapter)
