Oprah Winfrey gave $40 million away through the Oprah Winfrey Foundation last year! Oprah is by far the most charitable celebrity! That’s why she’s sooo loved!
The donation goes for causes including education and programs for women and children according to a national philanthropic group.
Novelist Nora Roberts came in second, donating $4.45 million to the Nora Roberts Foundation to support literacy in underserved communities, followed by Meryl Streep, who gave $4 million to the Silver Mountain Foundation for the Arts.
These contributions were made in 2009, the most recent year financial information was available, according to The Giving Back Fund, which compiled the celebrity list.
“There are many generous celebrities, but when you can top a list of celebrity philanthropists three out of four years, as Oprah has, that is saying something,” said Marc Pollick, president of The Giving Back Fund.
The Giving Back Fund which creates and professionally manages charitable foundations and other philanthropic programs for entertainers, athletes, business entrepreneurs and corporations.
It doesn’t matter how big or small, give something this Christmas to the people who don’t have anything. Man, that’s why I want to make a lot of money so I can give a lot!
