It’s nice to see that some celebrities do care about others and give back.
Parade magazine just compiled a list of the most generous celebrities, and at the top of the list came one of our faves, Oprah Winfrey.
The talk show queen gave over $50.2 million in charitable donations, just in the last year!
Overall, she founded various donations dealing with education, health, women and child advocacy, and of course her own Oprah’s Angel Network.
Coming in at number two was generous musician Herb Alpert. The 73 year-old has given $13 million to charity, including his own music foundation.
The list is followed by Barbra Streisand at number three, who gave away $11 million last year to several causes, including environmental issues, civil rights, and AIDS research.
Paul Newman donated $10 million last year, followed by Mel Gibson, who gave away $9.9 million.
And of course, Santa Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt made the list, giving away $8.4 million to their foundation that benefits the reconstruction in New Orleans as well as donating to refugee aid.
Could they get any better?
And, tied for seventh place on the list are three athletes, Lance Armstrong, hockey player Eric Lindros and Michael Jordan. They each donated $5 million.
Funny, why don’t we see Donald Trump‘s name on the list? He definitely considers himself a celebrity.
Maybe he just doesn’t donate much??? He doesn’t care!
