Keanu Reeves Donated 70% of Movie Earnings to Charity

Reeves reportedly donated $31.5 million to leukemia research because his sister suffered from the disease for years.

Keanu Reeves made a big donation to charity.  And by big we mean 70% of his Matrix salary.  Reeves reportedly donated $31.5 million to leukemia research.  That’s from his earnings on the original “The Matrix” movie.   The cause was near and dear to the actor’s heart as his younger sister Kim had been battling the disease for eight years at the time of the donation.   She was in and out of treatments before entering remission in 2001.
