Watt after loading a car with relief supplies to people impacted by Hurricane Harvey in Houston. Watt had a modest goal when he launched a fundraiser to benefit Harvey victims.

It took less than two hours to reach that number. Donations poured in from all over the world with several professional athletes chipping in. (Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle via AP, Pool, File)
