Ryan Serhant supports Feeding America, the American Cancer Society, Ronald McDonald House, and Project Sunshine because hunger and cancer strike people with no control over their circumstances. He sees his success as built on community and systems beyond himself, so giving back is a daily responsibility, not charity.

And we would be remiss— I know we only have a minute or two left, but there's two things that I learned about you during my, uh, my deep dive is that there have been at least two charities that you've been very passionate about. One is Feeding America and the other one's the American Cancer Society. Yeah. So number one, let's— I want to give a shout out to, to both of those. And, um, for you, what, what's, what's, you know, I know you've talked about it, uh, and a lot of people don't know this, but, um, like, what, what is it why those each are so passionate and important to you?
Um, because the people that are affected by hunger and cancer have, for the most part, no choice in the matter, right? We also do a lot with Ronald McDonald House, Project Sunshine, which are both attached to, uh, hospital stays, especially for kids, right? Um, uh, and we do a lot with a lot of organizations that, that help kids because kids are obviously the, the most helpless. But I would give back all day, every day if I could. My entire success is built on the success of land around me that has nothing to do with me. I didn't make New York City worth what it's worth. It's not my fault it's this expensive. It's everyone else's fault. It's history's fault. It's the market's fault. And so I'm just sort of playing with the house's money every day. So it's not just me.
