It's over for now. Madonna is now on a COMERCIAL jet back to NY, a 7-hour trip. First class, naturally.

She left Brazil with a 10000000-dollar project and also new investments on her Malaui project. She also left Rio with a promise to come back very soon and to perform a show at Copacabana Beach on the New Year's Eve Party in 2010/2011 (announced by the mayor of Rio on his official twitter).

Brazil says a big thanks for everything and see ya at the show next year!

Source Article: Madonna in tears after huge donation offered

November 15th, 2009 - 4:42 am ICT by IANS

Sao Paulo, Nov 15 (EFE) US pop star Madonna broke into tears when Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista announced that he would donate $7 million for her welfare projects, a media report said.

During a dinner at Batista’s home Thursday, the tycoon asked the singer how much money she collected and how much more she needed. When she answered that she had $3 million and needed to raise $10 million, the billionaire announced his readiness to complete the sum. It was at that moment that Madonna was moved to tears, the Folha de Sao Paulo daily reported.

At the dinner were Rio de Janeiro State Governor Sergio Cabral and Mayor Eduardo Paes.

The singer left Brazil Friday after a five-day visit seeking investments for a number of social projects that she wants to launch.

On Thursday before the dinner, the artist made a quick trip to Sao Paulo to meet a group of poor women, with whom she spoke about the positive values contained in the Hebrew doctrine of the Kabbalah, of which she herself is a follower.

The mayor told the media that the singer had accepted his offer for her to perform at the next New Year’s festival, for which some two million people would gather on the Copacabana beach.

The Brazilian press reports that M managed to gross $20 million in total last week for her social projects for children in Brazil ($10 million more than expected), and another $3 million are promised.

Are you sure? This site (below) says it was $20 million in Brazilian Reais (currency), so $11.2 million US dollars.

I think by the end of her trip, she was able to raise $20M, double her target of $10M. At least this is what this article says:

GOOGLE TRANSLATION:

The singer Madonna has left Brazil with $ 20 million for their NGOs, Success For Kids - more than $ 10 million originally intended. The information is from the "Page 3", the newspaper O Dia, saying that the artist has also promised to receive an additional $ 3 million.

On Saturday, before leaving the city, Madonna was the home of Germaine Gerdau in Angra dos Reis, where he met another group of entrepreneurs.

But in that article they put an R in front of the $20 million - which means it is in Brazilian currency. I think they may have thought she was going to raise R$10 million (Brazilian) initially and ended up with R$20 million (Brazilian). Either way it is great.

I think you're right. A very sizable amount nonetheless.
