Samantha Burke is donating the money she made from the baby Sophia pictures to charity. Yesterday, The Daily Mail published Samantha Burke’s pictorial from Hello! magazine, with her clutching Jude Law’s baby, Sophia. Samantha earned around $300,000 for the photos, and today she’s telling everyone she’s donating some of the proceeds to charity.

more Samantha after the hop…

Samantha took to her blog (hey, at least it wasn’t Twitter) and said:

“Both Sophia and I were compensated for the photographs, and will donate a portion of the compensation to the Ronald McDonald House to assist with the completion of their new facility in Pensacola, FL. The majority of the compensation, paid to Sophia, will be placed in trust for her secondary education and well-being. I’m thrilled with the pictures of Sophia and pleased to announce that she is healthy, happy and deeply loved.”

Hm. We just love the fuzzy language here. A portion of the compensation? A portion? That could, literally, be, like, a buck.

How much would you wager Samantha gave?
