A heartwarming statement
At Mimikama, we often receive user inquiries that relate to widespread Internet claims. Recently we have received many inquiries about a specific statement: “ For every film he has made, Robin Williams has asked his production company to hire at least 10 homeless people to give them meaningful work. During his entire career he helped around 1,500 homeless people. A man who had a big heart."

An unusual contract
reported on this topic before . The claim that Robin Williams' contracts required him to hire homeless people for productions originally came from Brian Lord, who was trying to book Williams for an event. Lord claimed that he found a clause in Williams' contract that required that for every event or film Williams was hired to work in, a certain number of homeless people had to be hired and put to work. (To Brian Lord's blog post
Doubts about the claim
Despite the prevalence of this claim, there is currently no verified evidence or confirmation from people who have worked with Robin Williams to support this claim. To date, no Robin Williams contract has been published that contains such a clause.
A far-reaching influence?
Regardless of the contract clause controversy, it is claimed that Robin Williams helped approximately 1,520 homeless people throughout his career by hiring them for the productions in which he was involved. This information also appears to be based on Brian Lord's statement and there is no independent confirmation of this.
Fact check
In summary, the claim that Robin Williams required the hiring of homeless people in his contracts, as well as the statement that he helped approximately 1,500 homeless people during his career, have not yet been verified. While Robin Williams' commitment to social causes is well documented, the exact details of this particular claim remain unclear. In the world of the Internet, it is always important to check the facts and be careful with information that cannot be independently verified. There remains no doubt that Robin Williams was a man with a big heart, but the exact number of homeless people he helped remains unknown.
