November 3, 2009 · Print This Article
The Giving Back Fund has released their “Giving Back 30″ list for 2008 — and knocking Oprah out of the top spot for the first duration ever was none other than Paul Newman.
The legendary actor, who passed away in September 2008, bequeathed by $20 million to a variety of charities focused on education, the environment, health, human services, and more. Not surprisingly, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt came in second with gifts of $13.5 million, followed by Mel Gibson ($6 million), Richard Childress ($5 million), Oscar
To be certain, the Giving Back Fund prides itself on the accuracy of their reports. To gather the moment, the group “culled media reports of charitable giving by sports and entertainment professionals; reviewed PF-990 tax-forms; contacted more than 250 publicists, attorneys, agents, agencies, and managers for knowledge about their clients; polled more than 150 charities known for their celebrity associations; and contacted all of the major sports leagues.”
