Boss’s wife just had a baby, colleague wants us to donate $$ for a gift

Our boss didn't even tell us they were pregnant. This morning his boss sent an email to our team that the baby was delivered safely. Our team lead under our boss then emailed us all asking for donations for a gift. How much is appropriate? I get wanting to do that but we've been struggling here. I know he makes probably at least 3x what I do (can't imagine it's much more for our field), and I myself just found out I'm pregnant. Is it wrong to not want to contribute? What's the minimum I can get away with?
