The Smoking Gun website has released a recent article that outlines Donald Trump's lack of charitable contributions compared to other billionaires and in doing so, they revealed the pay his charity organization received for his work with the WWE.

The foundation got another $1 million for his work in 2009 when Trump "bought" the WWE and sold it back to Vince McMahon (all storyline of course). You can read the full article here.
