We Break Down Where Drake's $1 Million Went In The 'God's Plan' Video
Drake has been in a giving mood, and it also all came to completion in the video for "
God's Plan." Over the course of almost six minutes, we visualize crying faces, smiling children, and Drake's generosity at the center of it all. Drizzy even hopped on
Instagram stories to ask his followers to get into the giving spirit.
"I am not into challenges on IG," wrote Drake. "I find them annoying...But today I I'll challenge each person to just go out and do something for someone, anything, the smallest thing, just to bring another human being some joy and please tag me in it somehow so I can visualize all of the passion being spread."
Viewers know the 6 God gave away $996,631.90 to the residents of Miami in the "God's Plan" video, which begs the question — where did all of that cash go? There really is so much happening onscreen that in the event blink, you could miss the latest good deed from Toronto's reigning king.
Below, MTV News congregated a rundown of Drake's best deeds and why much they cost. Unfortunately, we probably didn't catch them all.
OVO Market Sweep
Total: $50,000
Drake gave Miami residents the most epic game of
Supermarket Sweep. "Anything you guys want in the store is free," Drizzy says through a megaphone in the middle of the food store. According to
E! News, the trip cost Graham $50,000.
Started Out Doin' College Shows
Total: $50,000
The Miami Hurricane reported that Drake gave a $50,000 check to Destiny James, a junior studying public health at the University of Miami. In a
Instagram post thanking Drake, James wrote, "You don't understand what this demonstrates to me. I would've never considered this happening to me.

Icy Like the Frost School
Total: $10,000
Drake can also be seen giving the University of Miami Frost School of Music a $10,000 donation in the video.

Lotus Home Women's Shelter, which supports and provides for homeless ladies and children. On top of the donation, the Toronto rapper also handed out $150 Target gift cards to 130 females and toys for all of the children,
TMZ reports.
Fast Times At OVO High
Total: $25,000
A significant portion of the "God's Plan" video was filmed at Miami Senior High School in South Florida. Drake did more than let students be extras in the visual, He also gave $25,000 to the school and agreed to design OVO uniforms for the scholars, reports
ABC News.
Fire And Desire
Total: $20,000
The City of Miami Fire Department also got some love from Graham with a $20,000 check.
Shut Down Saks Fifth
Total: $10,000 (honestly, probably a lot more)
The 6 God took over Saks Fifth for a special woman, Odelie Paret. The head of OVO was inspired by a
Miami Herald story, which details how the housekeeper's commute can take almost three hours as she works at a physically demanding job to aid her family member. Drake and Antonio Brown from the Steelers
reportedly treated the woman to a spa day, dinner at StripSteak, plus a shopping spree.
Random Acts Of Kindness
Total: Priceless
Honestly, Drake gives away so much in the "God's Plan" video it is basically impossible to identify it all without calling up the OVO accountant. @We could never know what deal Drizzy got on the cars or the stack of money he hands out to each family member. Thankfully, that isn't the point. You don't have to be one of the greatest rappers alive to create someone's day. Some days all it takes is some well-choreographed dance moves as well as a kind deed.
