Parade magazine just published a list of the 30 most generous celebrities and not surprisingly Oprah Winfrey tops the list. Oprah donated over $50 million to various charities dealing with education, health, women and child advocacy and her own Oprah’s Angel Network. Go O! Fifty Million Dollars Kids! That’s A LOT of money.

Number two on the list is a bit of a shocker; musician Herb Alpert gave $13 million to various charities last year including his own music foundation. I had no idea that the 73 trumpet player had that much paper. Good for him.
Number three was Barbra Streisand at $11 million, Fourth place was Paul Newman at $10 million and Fifth place goes to Mel Gibson with a total donation of $9.9 million. Brad and Angie come in at sixth place for giving away $8.4 million to their foundation that funds reconstruction in New Orleans and well as their donations to refugee aid.
Kudo’s to all above! Thanks for putting out all that good Karma in the world and keeping the universe balanced. But shame shame shame on the following celebs who, as the saying goes, “Have more money that God”, but only donated a miniscule amount of their annual income to help the world’s less fortunate.
Jerry Seinfeld $3 million; Hugh Hefner $2 million; Tiger Woods $1.3 million and Steven Spielberg at $1 million.
