Keanu Reeves Donated 75% of His ‘MATRIX’ Salary To One Great Cause

Keanu Reeves just used his salary from The Matrix for a great cause. 

The actor took 70% of his salary and donated it to cancer research. 

Seriously, it’s reported that Reeves made $45 million off the movie, and the actor donated $31.5 million to leukemia research. 

Reeves himself has a younger sister that battled the disease for eight years. 

From NYPOST.com:

Reeves, 57, was reportedly paid $10 million upfront for the 1999 sci-fi flick, before earning a further $35 million when the movie became a box office blockbuster.

According to Lad Bible, the actor donated 70% of the money — a whopping $31.5 million — to leukemia research.

The cause was near and dear to Reeves’ heart, as his younger sister, Kim, had been battling the disease for eight years at the time he made the donation.

Kim was diagnosed with the blood cancer in 1991, and spent a decade in and out of treatment before finally entering remission in 2001.
