Rich wins Celebrity Apprentice
In tonight’s episode, Rich shocked Matlin, pulling his “Trump card” and making “The Celebrity Apprentice” history as the first ever apprentice to bring in additional money in the finale. Rich added an unexpected additional donation of $250,000 from Dollar General and Reckitt Benckiser and $25,000 from The Melting Pot, which was delivered to him during the show’s final task for 7UP.
As the newest Celebrity Apprentice winner, Rich received the $250,000 prize for his charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The show's charity earnings for the season totaled $3,120,852 - the largest amount ever raised by a TV series.
"Today has been an unbelievable day," said Rich. "I got Trump to put on a Stetson hat on national television and now I g,et to drive down to Memphis with a $250,000 check for St. Jude Children's Hospital. This entire experience has been for the kids, and I'm so excited to raise money for this cause and help save lives. Everyone, please purchase the song For the Kids. All of the proceeds will go straight to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital."
In the final episode, Rich performed his new song For the Kids, the title track off his new EP.

You have to question John Rich's motives when he opens a CD titled "Rich Rocks" with a track titled Country Done Come To Town. What is he: A rocker or a country boy? Well, it turns out, like most popular country stars these days, he's a little of both. (Oh, and he also thinks he's a little rap, too).
Texas features Cowboy Troy, a longtime friend of Big & Rich. The song is not really rap, however, as it mostly speaks about how you take the boy out of Texas, but ...
A better title for this six-song John Rich album is "For Parents of Kids" because these tracks aren't really directed at kid listeners. There are no tunes about animals or toys. Rich never sings in a silly voice. Heck, he doesn't even tell a corny joke.
