Apparently he raised over $16 million for the relief effort in the wake of the Haiti Earthquake, the problem is that only 1/3 of the money that was raised was used for the Haitian relief effort and the rest was used for, well whatever Wyclef wanted to use it for.
 
This is the source, I'm sure there are plenty more.

that's sort of interesting I guess... Wyclef is already paid though... I mean he could have at least split the revenue with the country.

Didn't he also run for President of Haiti? Or am I mixing up facts?

I think he tried to... but was not allowed to do so.

90% of all donations asked for by celebrities ends up paying the greedy worthless bastards to support a charity

Yes.

Jean is just another a-hole cashing in on the misery of others.

Perhaps he raised the "relief money" to fund his fail campaign and he couldn't run so he just started handing it out to his boys.

Gone Til November is a pretty good song. And I suppose 1/3 of $16 million is better than $0.
