Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie handed over almost $5 million (£3.1 million) to charitable causes in 2009, according to tax papers.

The stars created the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in order to give cash to deserving organisations, and they donated a huge chunk of their fortune two years ago.
 
The biggest handout was to Pitt's Make It Right Foundation in New Orleans, Louisiana, which received $2 million (£1.25 million), according to the foundation's tax filing, obtained by Showbiz411.com.
 
Among the other causes to receive handouts were the United Nations' (UN) Pakistan Emergency Fund ($1 million/£625,000) and children's charity Kind, Inc., which received a $100,000 (£62,500) grant.
