How Ripple, Gorillas, Ellen DeGeneres, and Ashton Kutcher are Connected

Neighbors Ashton Kutcher and Ellen DeGeneres are famous friends. Recently on her show, Ashton began to tell the audience about his investment in Ripple and how helping important causes is a priority for them.

Ellen, as Ashton will confirm, is known for her abundance of good deeds. For as much as she gives, Ellen rarely asks favors of others. The exception is for The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund. She has a mission to "save the gorillas."

Ashton told Ellen, "You're always thinking about everyone else. And we wanted to show you that people are thinking about you. So, on behalf of Ripple, we'd like to give you $4 million."

As Ellen began to tear up, Ashton allowed her to push a button and instantly transfer the funds. It's a win for Ellen, Ashton, gorillas, and Ripple.

This isn't the first time Ripple has done an extravagant good deed. Two months ago, they donated millions of dollars to school projects though donorschoose.org. The monetary value of XRP has its ups and downs, but the value Ripple is providing to good causes continues to rise.
