TV show description:
In this reality series, a few of America’s wealthiest individuals go undercover, traveling into some of the most impoverished and dangerous areas in the country. Their job is to spend one week canvassing the community and meeting as many people as possible. The millionaire is searching to find truly remarkable individuals, those who are dedicated to helping others while overcoming their own hardships and tremendous odds.

On the final day of the week, the Secret Millionaires meets with the most deserving people they could find. They reveal his or her true identity and real reason for being there — to give them a large sum of money that is going to change their lives forever.

This unscripted series aims to expose viewers to important social issues, extol the virtues of volunteerism, and to change the lives of both disadvantaged people and their benefactors in unexpected ways.

this was one of my favorite reality tv show! the reason for this was it show the true meaning of giving back and pay it foward. their are really great people in this world and for people who have it all to step into the shoes of those less fortunate is a great insperation.

I absolutely loved this show and want to see it come back! I dont think many people know what to do to bring a show back. If they did I think this would be a winner.

I have watched several episodes of this show and everytime I am sickened at the so-called delimma the millionaires have in giving away their money. To these millionaires $10.000, $35.000, $50.000 and even $100.000 is and means NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to them and it is probably tax deductable as well. Why not give at least $100.000,= to each and every person or charitiy that they visit. That would really mean something instead of the pittance they give away now.
And to top it all off they feel JUST SO GREAT for doing it. Give me a break.
Makes me very angry and sick to my stomach.

Hoi Marjan, Ik kwam je op deze site tegen.
Hoe gaat het met je?
Ik weet dat je in Amsterdam woont.
Zou je weer contact met me willen, we hoeven toch niet ALTIJD boos te blijven?
Groetjes Tiny
