Overview
- Speaking on the Painful Lessons podcast in January 2026, Jack Osbourne said each of three charities received about £1.5–£2 million, totaling roughly £6–£7 million, or about $9.4 million.
- The donations were split between Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorn Children's Hospice and Cure Parkinson's.
- Early totals shared by musical director Tom Morello and echoed by outlets such as Billboard suggested the event raised $150–$190 million.
- A Guardian report citing nearly six million pay-per-view viewers contributed to high gross-revenue estimates that did not reflect final donations.
- Sharon Osbourne had previously challenged the inflated headlines, saying the show grossed about $11 million before expenses and calling the larger figures ridiculous.
