In a move that has surprised fans, colleagues, and viewers across the nation, Fox News host Pete Hegseth announced that he will donate his entire $12.9 million bonus and sponsorship earnings toward an ambitious project in his hometown of Minneapolis — building comprehensive housing and support centers for people experiencing homelessness.
The initiative, launched under a new non-profit partnership, aims to create 150 permanent housing units and 300 shelter beds across Minnesota, one of the coldest states in the U.S., where subzero winters often turn homelessness into a matter of survival.
A Deeply Personal Mission
Speaking at a packed press conference in downtown Minneapolis, Hegseth appeared visibly moved as he explained the personal motivation behind his decision.
