Oprah Winfrey is the most generous celebrity in the world.
The humanitarian talk show host topped a list compiled by Parade magazine,
after donating a staggering $50.2 million to various charities in the last
year.
As well as her huge donations, Oprah is the founder of Oprah's Angel Network
- which helps underprivileged women and children worldwide.
Other stars to feature in the list include Mel Gibson, Barbra Streisand and
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The Hollywood couple were ranked at number six, after giving away
$8.4million through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which contributes funds to
help reconstruct hurricane ravaged New Orleans, provides refugee aid and
cross cultural understanding.
The stars - who welcomed twins Knox and Vivienne into the world in July this
year - even spend Christmas Day helping people in need.
Angelina previously revealed: "It's important to teach our children that
it's not about what they're going to get, but it's about who they're going
to think of."
The list was compiled by The Giving Back Fund from public records of
donations during 2007.
