Brad and Angelina are $7 million givers


In 2008 Angelina Jolie, 34, and Brad Pitt, 45, gave $6.8 million to charities. That was the amount given to various groups through the philanthropically minded couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which donated about half of the $13 million it raised last year to nonprofits like Global Health, Human Rights Watch, the Armed Services YMCA, and Pitt's own Make It Right Foundation, dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans. Another $1 million went to various causes in Cambodia, home country for their son Madox.


In my opinion, it's a nice thing that people like Brad Pitt and Angleina Jolie who win a huge amount of money give at least a part to people who need it more than them. I actually think it's not fair there're persons who win stratospheric amounts of money while there are people dying every day of hungry. Moreover, some of these persons don't work so hard to deserve those quantities of dollars. So from my point of view, all these rich people should give some money for charities, investigation,...whatever. It doesn't mind if it's just $100 or $100000 the important thing is to collaborate a little bit.
