Secret Millionaire is a reality show with a difference. Instead of winning fantastic cash prizes, contestants have to pay as much as $50,000 each to take part. 7 The contestants of the first series were five millionaires of different ages and walks of life. They were taken out of their comfortable carefree environments and sent to some of the poorest parts of Britain. Here they had to integrate into the community and live on the minimum wage for ten days. At the end of the programme they decided which of the people they met deserved their money most. 8 The first contestant was 26-year-old Ben Way, who is reputedly worth around $25 million. Ben's destination was the London district of Hackney, commonly known as the 'gun mile'. His explanation for the television crew following him everywhere was that they were filming a documentary about how poor people from the countryside mixed with poor people from the city. 9 Ben spent an eye-opening ten days working at the Pedro Club, a youth centre for disadvantaged youngsters. Run by manager Ufu Niazi, the centre was financed purely on donations and grants, and Ufu had been working with no pay for over two years. 10 At the end of the show Ben gave $20,000 to the Pedro Club for renovation, wages and to build a recording studio on the premises, which could be rented out to provide a permanent source of income for the centre. Ben also gave money to one of the volunteers so that he could get married, and to one of the members to realise his dream of becoming a fashion designer. 11 The series portrayed millionaires as real people who seemed quite happy to give away part of their fortune. We can only hope that Secret Millionaire continues well into the future so that even more cash is made available to deserving causes. |
