Angelina and Brad Give Away a Lot of Money
by
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt contributed over $8 million to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in 2006 according to their federal tax returns. Brad donated $4,402,317, and Angelina gave $4,123,613. The fund dispensed a little over $2 million to worth causes. Here’s how it broke down:
- $1 million to Doctors Without Borders (International Division)
- $1 million to the Global Action for Children.
- $137,935 to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program
- $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation
- $100,000 to Global Green U.S.A.
- $100,000 to Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research.(Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of extremely fragile skin and recurrent blister formation, resulting from minor mechanical friction or trauma) Interesting to note that Cortney Cox and hubby David Arquette also support this cause.
- $20,000 went to an art park in Los Angeles. (If anyone knows the name of the park please let us know)
- $5,000 donations went to two orphanages that Angelina visited
These folks really do put their money where their mouth is.
Note: Sorry for the delay in posting. I’ve been ill. Thanks for your continued support. It means a great deal.

They are the gold standard.
That little Shiloh was apparently helping out charity even before she was born. Her first “in her mommy’s tummy” pictures helped the Yele Haiti Group, then whatever amount (millions for sure) they received from her first pictures helped to start and fund this generous Foundation. I am sure whatever they received for the first full family (I think People in December 2006)and first Pax photos is also inlcluded, so all the children have made contributions.
I don’t know how the money from other celebrity baby picutres is used and it is none of my business, but I think this is the best use for receiving money if you are already a millionaire.
Yes, they are the best.
