The Marie Holmes Foundation
In 2016, Marie founded a charity foundation under her name. The Marie Holmes Foundation hosts holiday giveaways that helps benefit underprivileged kids. She invested $9.7 million in the organization because she felt it was important to help people who were once not so different from her.

A Cautionary Tale
A story that is quite similar to Marie’s is that of Michael Carroll. He won $14.5 million at the age of 19. He immediately bought himself a mansion, but soon found himself without a job and then without his home. He spent all of his money and was forced to find a way to support himself. However, he claims his current $300 per week salary makes him happier than he was when he was temporarily rich.
