Brad & Angie are the 2 rich mega stars I can think of that
are completely selfless & are there to help the world in need.
The world, not just NOLA.
take note rich earners & walk the talk for once!

GOOD POINT! Beyonce and Jay-Z seems like two selfish people.
HAITI really needs help now, but I dunno Beyonce even watch the news….
what about tom and gisele??they should be around 6TH!!!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!
@yo sista:
because you didn’t count jay-z money, both their album sales, other events… you dumb ho.
I hope ALL of Hollywood donates to Haiti. Devastating.
I don’t recall Aneglina giving charities around $20 million, as she claimed to give a third to charity.
.
In fact, why are they still holding the 20 million they made out of their children (photos and interviews) that they promised to donate to charities?
.
Only a fraction of that chunk of money actually ended up in charities.
Well that’s an unflattering photo.
@mimi:
Because they don’t flaunt it everywhere?
They can donate how much they want.
How much of the money you earn do you donate?
Oh ok.
It’s a more flattering picture than any picture you take, Flopiara.
Well the top 5 does not surprise me at all, these are all major celebs making money left and right with deals, and what not. Posh & Becks make an absurd amount though, its just because of their status, they get all the deals, its insane.
go jay and bey u guys are the best
uhhhm… no wonder out country is ****… – do they really need 20 million a picture??????????????????or whatever 10 milion a song????????????????? our priorities are completely **** in this country.. that disgusts me. we have so many homeless families and people that need help and Jay Z talk about the CRAPyankees and gets 50 million whatever.. i bet if there was an earthquake in Turks and Caicos they ALL would help!
yay! glad to know the annoying brangelina didnt win
@mimi: these figures are pre-tax. that means these ppl only keep 2/3 of it in their pockets. how do you know if they’re holding on to the ##? The ## went to their foundation, and the foundation will determine how the ## should be distributed.
my favorite couple in the world did it again (second year in a row) WOW
Beyonce made all that money and had to perform for the Libyan terrorist Hannibal Khadafy on New Years Eve?
Mariah performed for the terrorist the year before
Whats the deal with blacks and democrats and all their dictator, terrorist pals.
@Bara: ..why would they donate anything?!? neither of them is from haiti. how much will you be donating?!!?
.
@Priscila: Jay-Z is so selfish he got honored by the united nations for his ‘Water for Life Campaign’. he went to Africa to bring clean water to the poor and starving in countries such as Angola. what a selfish person.
What the public is unaware of is how much it cost to make this revenue.
It most certainly is not NET. But Forbes does NOT tell the public this.
it is sad to say but this couple has all da money in da world,and buy wat ever dey want dey have everyhting we can only imagen but ders one thing dey dont have,childrens dats da most wealthiest feeling in da world,no if ands and buts about it.dats being rich!!!!he is 40 and she is almost 30 it’s about time….u guys r getting older!!!!
i dont get it. why harrison ford and calista flockhart made all that money?
from what??does anybody know?
@hi:
Nobody forced Angelina to lie and claim she donates a thrid of her income.
.
Once she claimed to do that- she should back it up with actual action.
.
Not to mention she claimed she will donate all the money (=100%) she made of her children and their photos and interviews about them to charity, and why so many years after they were born, that money is still not donated and under her control?
