Many know him from the haze circles of Hollywood. While the slightly older ones probably still know him as a dude from "Ey man, where is my car", he later trumped as successor of Charlie Sheen in "Two and a half men" (more or less). But apart from his theatrical activities, the American can put in scene. As co-founder of A-Grade Investments and Sound Ventures, he is investing with Guy Oseary and Ron Burkle in promising tech startups.
So he invested in addition to Spotify, Uber, Shazam and Soundloud, including in the payment network Ripple. So Ashton Kutcher together with Guy Oseary decided to donate a total of four million US dollars to Ellen DeGeneres. Well-known in the US, the actress and host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show got the money to support her own foundation. With "The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund" DeGeneres wants to prevent among other things the extinction of species of gorillas in Rwanda:
"I love animals and I want to protect them, especially when they are endangered. We need these incredible creatures and they need our love and help to save them ",

Ellen loves ripple
After receiving the donation from Ashton Kutcher, she said something similar about Ripple:
"That was the biggest thing. Many Thanks. I love you both so much, you know that. And I love ripple. Thanks Ripple. And now everyone knows that you can just send money like that. What a great thing. "
According to Kutcher, Ripple wants to show his ethical orientation with the campaign. The XRP price is relatively unimpressed. Although the price rose briefly yesterday, but currently stands at just under 0.50 euros. Over the course of the week, the price fell by 15 percent, during the month by almost 30 percent.
