What’s the big deal, some people have asked. That much money isn’t that much at best essay writing services all if you think about it, especially if you take into consideration what Kate Moss earns on a good day. Then again, if you were the recipient of that money, you would probably think otherwise. Any amount raised for a good cause makes the recipient feel grateful.

The big deal about this piece of news actually lies in how Kate Moss raised the amount. The news is that she kissed a stranger – the highest bidder – for this amount. The supermodel was the “flavor of the day” at the 2010 Mummy Rocks event in the UK. The aim of the event was to raise money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. The bidding was actually held last year, but it was only now that the winner was able to claim his prize.

So, who is the lucky winner? Hosh Ibrahim is the gentleman who paid £5,000 – roughly $7,500 – to lock lips with the supermodel. After a year-long wait, the two players were finally able to get together to claim (and award) the prize.

So what does Kate Moss’ boyfriend have to say about the kiss? If news reports are to be believed, he was pretty game about it. As for Ibrahim, he says his money was well spent. To quote him: “She tastes as good as she looks!” Well, I bet that many a guy is envying him for that!

Now if we could only raise money this way as easily as Kate Moss was…
