why don't rich/famous hat prisoners contribute to baldness research?

I mean it is obvious they care about baldness. They are always wearing hats even though they are rich, famous and having very high status. Guys like Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine and American country singer Kenny chesney.

just google them and you will see what I am talking about. I was just made aware of chad smith from a thread in the general section. kenny chesney isn't a hat prisoner anymore but in his early days he was

also the idea of this thread extends somewhat to rich famous bald guys who have had work done on their hair such as hair transplants. although less to them since they effectively don't have baldness anymore after a good transplant/piece

They don't contribute because they are not allowed to show that they care.

Bruce Willis tried to donate MILLIONS to hair cloning but was declined. To say they don't is delusional. They probably do but don't announce it. It really doesn't give the same clout as donating to childs cancer.

The company that was doing it did not have enough research nor think it was viable at the time. I think he more or less offered them MILLIONS in donations to perform it on him but they said no.

Stars want it back to but Im sure its easier to deal with when you have butt loads of cash to wear on your head instead.

Is there a source for this? I'd like to read more about it...

Perhaps we should reach out to Bruce Willis then :p Spreading awareness would be so much easier with a celebrity.

Im not trying to make you believe me. When cloning first came out BW tried to give them millions towards research and to have it done. they wouldnt do it.

Dude EVERY guy regardless of status is worried about their hair. CEOs like to say they arent worried but in the end the same scenario is there. If a 100% cure came out tomorrow they would get it like anyone else.

You think even Bruce Willis was never worried about losing his girls to guys like Clooney. There is always a threat. Think every party he took his girls to he didnt end up catching one swooning over Brad Pitt. Even Bruce is a stepping stone to some women.
