George and Amal Clooney are everyone's favourite for a reason.

The couple renovated their Berkshire village in 2015 (construction which went on till 2017), and realised the distress they may have caused their neighbours.

In a bid to compensate for the noise caused, the Clooneys gifted a vacation to their neighbours worth £45,000 the year the construction began, which included a holiday to Corfu, a six-week stay at a luxury hotel and a £30,000 sum, reported DailyMail,

Post-trip, the couple paid for their stay at a hotel called The French Horn for six weeks. Once that became inconvenient, the Clooneys paid £780,000 for the couple to stay at a cottage down the road from their house.

Talk about "love thy neighbour."

The renovations totalled a sum of £12.5 million which included a 12-seater cinema, subterranean irrigation system, 60ft swimming pool and an astroturf tennis court.

People don't realize that renovations could be so bothersome for the neighbors. Awesome that the power couple of Hollywood understand it.

This is absurd, especially coming from Clooney who does a lot of charity work. Clooney lives in an upscale neighborhood, which means that his neighbors are also wealthy and therefore, this amount would not be more than a pocket change for them. He could have donated that amount to charities who could have used it for a much better purpose.

For sure, money walks, money talks, money rocks and sometimes stalks.
