Brad And Angelina Donate Over $6 Million To Charities In 2008

the money came from the twin pix. Angelina has been donating MILLIONS way before has ever met the wrinkly douche-bag cheater and she will continue to give millions after she's done with him. it will be funny to see how his checkbook closes when he's no longer with Angie. He's a phony old fart!

Its great what they are doing! But does it ever seem like they are trying to over do it so people will forget about the whole adultery thing ..... Like how most of the rich throw money at problems to try and make them go away!

^^^ maybe on Brad's part, but Angie has been a UN ambassador for almost 9 years now. She was giving money even when she was with Thorton and wearing his blood. Brad didn't start really giving a damn until the media called him a cheater.

What happened to her claim that she gives 1/3 of HER income to charity all these years. Did they ever donate all the money made from selling their babies' pics to charity? Are they suddenly releasing this info coincidental with all those books and bad press?

who cares...alot of celebrities donate to charities. they just don't brag about it !!

2:08 couldn't agree more. They over-compensate for the fact that they cheated. They figure people will think who cares if Brad cheated on his wife, he cares about starving orphans now. And it worked for most people. And certainly worked for the press. The first time Brad ever went to an orphanage was THREE DAYS after he first got caught on the beach in Africa with Angelina. From that moment on he wasn't a cheater....but a humanitarian. It's just disgusting how gullible people are.

Wow they are so amazingly generous!!!!!

I don't think they give a damn about the whole cheating thing - they seem so happy living big, full lives. I suspect they rarely think about B-actress Jennifer Aniston except when she whines to the press about her love life to promote a movie.

How can it not be admirable how responsible they are with the money they make and with how they are raising their children? Brad Pitt's life took an entirely different direction when he met Angelina - a less self-centered one where doing some good with what they have been given has taken priority. I love that they don't overexpose their children to the madness of the paparazzi, AND that they give to such honorable charities. From what I've read about Angie, she hopes that each of her children will become involved in charities in their birth countries when they grow older. That, from her Hollywood upbringing, she has come to this is admirable. I applaud their generosity and consciousness.

So how is it exactly that Aniston whines? When she said Brad was missing a sensitivity chip (understatement of the year) for doing W photo shoot with Angie and a colection of fake kids just weeks after they split, even though they don't even have kids in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Or was it the time she said Angie was uncool for bragging about falling in love with Brad while he and Jen were still together?

Why is it that the brangeloonies are always so happy to throw dirt on Aniston when Brad and Angie are the ones who misbehaved. And then EFFIN BRAGGED about it? And exploited the poorest, most desperate people in the world to distract the public?

How anyone can support people who do that is completely beyond me.

I can't imagine anyone on this thread knows what it's like to be dumped in front of the entire world and then getting blamed for the fact that your husband cheated on you. And all the while your ex uses his newfound charity work to distract people from the crappy way he treated you. IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Not one person in this thread has any idea how humiliating that must be. And for that I think Jen has been a pretty good sport about it all. Calling Angie's bragging uncool and saying Brad is missing a sensitivity chip is about as harmless as it gets.

How much did they donate to the USA. Scum-bags, turning their back to the USA like our bowing president.

Good for them for daonting but why do we have to know about it . They collected like 30 mil that was to go to charity so 6 mil is only a small part of what they promised. Its funny they do charity but charity starts at home how about taking care of your own kids first. Thier kids look unkeepd and sad in every pic. Angie needs press right now cuz she is adopting and promiseing the orphange big bucks if they well fork over another kid for angies collection.Brad promised she could adopt onekid for every bio kid she had but he never planned on her popping out two babies at once.Hes wanting out and shes bring home yet another kid.
shouldnt the orphange at least requier them to show the kids they have allready are IN SCHOOL and adjusted.
It would impress me more if they stayed in one place to raise there kids than if the donated 10 mil to chairty.
noone would blame brad if he took the kids and went back to jen. To get a normal life and mybe sart loooking good agin. I think most the public doesnt want to see a moive with them in it just read about thier messed up personal lives.

Does anyone actually buy their predictably timed self-congratulations anymore? Other than their obvious fake posters. So tacky.

Their donations were made public by Roger Friedman (formerly of Fox News and no fan of AJs), not the JPs. The money for pictures of the kids is taxed (I'm sure all you realize that) and was only speculated to be 10-14 mil range (no one knows for sure except the interested parties). they donate a lot of $ in the US, the children's cancer center in Missouri, the MO school system, the Univ of MO gymnasium, Make it Right (unless New Orleans is no longer in the US), funding for soldier's children and probably a lot more you don't know about because they don't talk about it, the groups receiving the money make it public. Another thing, only a certain percentage of charitable donations is tax deductible, and they probably reached that limit by the $2 mil mark. People will hate no matter what. They've been told to hate (programmed in fact) and they follow like lemmings. I think they do good things and am proud of them, especially Jolie, who completely turned her life around and became a wonderful person. aniston had her chance and she blew it. 7 yrs and she's not going to try to start a family until he's about to leave her? trying to get pregnant when your husband wants out to trap him into staying? Now that's sick!

Great for them! I'd like to point out if this is all tax deductable why the he!! isn't more people donating to causes? My point exactly! Hoarding your millions or buying a cornflake in the shape of Ill. for 15,000 is so mind boggeling it's sick. This isn't an act on behalf of Angelina she's been doing this for ten years now. Nothing phoney about this wonderful woman.

They must be worried about the tell-alls. They always seem to pull out the charity bandwagon when there's bad publicity. Enuff of these two

ZZZZZzzzzzz yawn~ Did these two f*ckers call the media or what?!

Lots of ppl donate to charity. Just because we do not make sh*Tty movies or pimp out a bunch of ugly kids! Doesn't mean our donations are less.

6 million to them is like $200 bux to the rest of us....BFD!! Give some money to the starving kids in Appalachia, right here in the USA!

5:05 said it right. They are only praised for all their "giving" because they want to be.

@ 3:42. what you posted speaks about selfishness.. the reason why theres a lot of scumbags because they just always want ME ME ME ME. Money only here here here. dont give to others keep it here here here.

Dont teach them where they want to put their money. its theirs. Its you who need to teach yourself how to give regardless of where you live.

At least they are giving something unlike half of the other self absurbed celebs. Who really cares why as long as they are doing it. Get over the Jen Aniston crap. Who cares anymore. These people have been together longer than Brad and Jen ever were married. Like others have commented, Angelina has been donating and working with charities way before the cheating incident. Also the the make it right charity is in the United States.

In their business publicity is everything, they need good publicity to cover up their trashy behavior...as long as they present themselves as "the greatest humanitarians" they can do whatever they want and get away with it...simple as that

We get the charity bit now and next it
will be another kid. Brad looks awful.
Lots of stars donate and we never heard
about it. They made about 54 million
last year not counting the pictures so
it was peanuts to them. This couple
just know how to play the public is all.
Madonna spent lots more. Fake as can be.

They turn their tax returns over so they
get a story, the rest of the stars don't. They are fake trash.

Wow, wish I had millions upon millions of money and lived in my mansions and polluted the world flying my private jets so I could donate a couple mil to charity and claim to be missionaries like these TWATS.

AT LEAST THEY ARE HELPING THE POOR
unlike you haters
who only eat,
put hate comments,
then sleep!

GOSH! So what if they are doing it
for their image? (like hitting two
birds with one stone) At least they
make unfortunate lives less harder.

Yeah right, THEY LIVE IN HUGE MANSIONS,
HAVE PRIVATE JETS & DOESN'T STARVE. But
if you're a rich person, wouldn't you
want to experience these things? DUH?!

What about the millions that people magazine pay them for the twins pictures?
Anyway 6 millions it's a lot but they said they were going to donate all the money from the magazines...

Hopefully those people saying negative things about them ,are doing something like also giving to charity.Otherwise they
have no rights to critisize.

first off, angelina and brad do not have to advertise their donations to charity. all nonprofit charities' financial records are a matter of public record; anybody can request this information. please learn about nonprofits before you start running your mouths.

I mean when you think just a bit how much are all this hollywood stars overpaid for acting, you get a headacke. At least they can do is to give some part to charity.

what they don't tell you is how much they sold , out of glamourizing people s misery to sell their image sukka

VERY GOOD PUBLICITY ... let's not be naive ... THEY USE THE HUMAN MISERY IN ORDER TO GLAMORIZE THEIR IMAGES ... the ROI is very interesting ... when they give 6 million dollars to the poor, THEY EARN FROM 10 TO 15 TIMES HIS BET IN TERMS OF IMAGE AND CONTRACT ...
moreover, ANGELINA JOLIE AND BRAD PITT HAVE TAX BENEFITS to transit a part of their fortune, $13 millions by their foundation ...

Give me a break.. they have been together for 5 years. Hardly think they care who likes it or not. These people don't need to do anything to get in the media.. the fact that they exist is enough. And to the cheating claim.. prove it. or STFU. It is no ones business anyway. Brad and Jennifer are not the only two people in the world to get a divorce. But the way people carry on they think they were. Where is hate toward. Tom/Rita and the other men in hollywood who left a wife and found a new relationship.. OH wait not Brad and Angelina they are held to a different standard. They give a lot of money and the fact of the matter is they DON'T have to give a penny. Their money their choice. They are not the only celebs that make bank.. but few give or most just show up for an event just to be seen there. Angelina was doing this before Brad. Almost 10 years with UNHCR. According to the people who KNOW her and have Worked with her she is the real deal. Paying her own expenses unlike many who lend their names to causes. So get off these two people and find new targets. The constant attacks are just over the top hate. Brad was not with any of you neither was Angie.. so if they found happiness together good for them.
I notice x17 always puts a nasty and snarky spin on any new of them and praise the other celebs. Funny but then they are the only ones that get tons of hits.. postive and negative.. I guess the people claiming to be tired of them or over them just keep forgetting how to NOT click the link and post a coomment..

regarding the tax benenfit.. wtf do you live in the real world. Eveyone does that Oprah, Bill Gates and other multi millionairs.. OH wait Double standard.. even the average man and woman give to charities to get a tax write off. That is why they give you a receipt. Man are some of you 13 years old or what. Get off the computer nad get a life or a job.

Since they have never admitted to the cheating thing.. what do they have to try to make up for?

Plus I believe since it is a charitable Foundation that takes in donations as well as giving out money they are required by law to make their tax returns public.

And I believe the deal for the children's pictures was Getty sold the pictures to the highest bidder with the stipulation that the money goes straight to the charity of the Jolie Pitt's choosing.. the money never makes it all the way to the Jolie Pitt's. It is donated straight to a charity from the deal between the magazines and the photo distributor.

It is also interesting to write down that, YOU AND I HAVE INDIRECTLY AND FINANCIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO CHARITABLE AID when we bought the magazines where Brangelina shows off their children and privacy... In brief, The couple lends his image, and we give our money ...So, WHO IS THE REAL DONOR ?

You go ahead couple! May God bless you!

Go ahead couple! May God bless you!

Go ahead couple and May God bless you!

Go ahead couple and may God bless you!

Why post it?? Plenty of rich people donate huge amounts of money to worthy causes, not just them!!
But I sure would appreciate it, if they donated that money to me. I really would.

I could definitely use some charity right about now, brangelina should help some of us poor people, and write it off on their taxes....
