Online, it looks like 75%.
So for every €100m pumped in by YSL, it only costs them €25m, the french taxpayer having to cough up the difference.
Thanks for that. So if a billion euros was 'pledged' by billionaires they would pay only a quarter having forced the general tax payer to cough up the rest?
With the good guys getting a billion euros worth of fantastic publicity.
Hmmmmm!
Radio 4 news said that Macroon had waved any taxation on any monies given for this appeal.
Over £1 billion the largest ever amount raised for any appeal now that really is impressive larger than any emergency relief fund ever we are a really difficult species us humans we gladly give for a buildings repair while we look away as other humans suffer, I wonder what Jessus would have said rebuild this temple built by kings to house a few bits of flotsam a nail, bit of old wood and a crown of thorns items found some 800 years after the even by Helen mother of the Emperor Constantine while on holiday in Jerusalum and probably just some tourist tat which had absolutely no link to events 800 years before, instead I think Jessus would have far been more likley to have said use the money to feed the poor heal the sick and not to waste it upon human vanity.

A perfect example of the priorities of the rich and powerful. As a species we are doomed. If only they liked people and polar bears as much as Gothic architecture that was built to worship someone with very different priorities.

This! Sadly Syrian refugees being bombed to hell and living in camps with minimum medicine don't seem to tug the heartstrings of billionaires.
I say it's perfectly fine for people to decide where their money is spent. Would you want someone telling you that you must send your money to the Taliban because they are suffering from western aggression?
Corrected it for you.
Send me money. I'm fine with that.

All these tears over a building that housed years of abuse of boys.

It is absolutely fine for people to decide where their money is spent. That decision, however, speaks volumes about our priorities.

What happened in the UK when all those billionaires gave massive sums to help the community in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire?
Oh, wait, hang on a minute...

I'm really impressed by the way the French have dealt with this. Right from the beginning. And perhaps Macron could get some credit? We'd still be arguing about who pays for the rebuild, and planning permission and listed building consent and the health and safety plan.
