X2... I suppose one could email him and ask if you are a disbeliever in his kindness or of others (millionaire or not.) In any event, those folks got REAL help and that's what counts, not the signature on the check. On that we can all agree!

What a guy. He had a rough start in life and made something of himself. He has not forgotten where he came from or how difficult it was. Too bad the world doesnt have more people like him.

Just watched the show - I thought it was really good. I shopped at CW quite a few times and I also think Marcus should do the undercover boss show. Each CW that I have gone to in Florida has been a different experience.

Well if actions speak, then he has already shown on this forum how active he is with his customers. I would think I would trust this story about him more than many other CEO's who have never put their money where their mouth is for their customers to this large of a degree.
Even if ABC were footing the bill, at the end of the day he took his time to help and the people who got the help I am sure are very thankful.

Really???....Do you really believe that it such a stretch that a millionaire would WANT to help someone less fortunate, ESPECIALLY given Marcus' story? ,....I know a LOT of people that are NOT milionaires that give and give to help the less fortunate, so WHY do you find it unbelievable that a millionaire would do the same?????...........Everytime I watch the show, I WISH I could do MORE than I do now!!!!!!

In a conversation with Marcus on this forum he assured me the what you saw was not staged and was real.

Every person who has been on secret millionaire could have taken a week's vacation to help the poor and donated money to them without a camera following them around. I would find it very hard to believe that ABC doesn't compensate every person who appears on the show in some way.
I think Marcus really did believe in those causes. This probably isn't the first time he has given money to charity.
I did find it telling that Marcus mentioned that Camping World is extremely profitable.

I recorded it and just watched it as I was out camping when it was on. I could see how heart felt his actions were with the children. It made me feel good to be a member CW with Marcus as the CEO. There are many things that I am a member of will not have the loyalty with due to the management of the business's. Knowing the type of person at the top of CW I have no problem shopping there. Thank you Marcus for making my night.
