George and Amal Clooney gave neighbours in their Berkshire village a £45,000 ($80,000) compensation package for the disturbance caused by renovations to their estate. A source said: "It is a known fact in the village that the Clooneys' closest neighbours were very stressed by the building work. They have been incredibly generous in compensating the Groves for the hassle of the building work." For months, villagers endured a cacophony of building work. Last month, Clooney made a surprise visit to an 87-year-old fan who wrote to him from a local care home.
