WASHINGTON: Oprah Winfrey, the most influential woman on television, is not just a chat queen but also one of the most charitable celebrities - she has donated 40 million dollars to the Oprah Winfrey Foundation .

The Foundation works for causes including education and programs for women and children, according to a national philanthropic group.

Novelist Nora Roberts came in second, donating 4.45 million dollars to the Nora Roberts Foundation to support literacy in underserved communities, followed by actress Meryl Streep, who gave 4 million dollars to the Silver Mountain Foundation for the Arts.

These contributions were made in 2009, the most recent year financial information was available, according to The Giving Back Fund, which compiled the celebrity list.

"There are many generous celebrities, but when you can top a list of celebrity philanthropists three out of four years, as Oprah has, that is saying something," People magazine quoted Marc Pollick, president of 'The Giving Back Fund', as saying.

The person who gives most if the person who gives a higher percentage, Regardless it's always good when people give to the needy, But just gonna say a rich person who gives a little each year ends up giving more in a lifetime and someone who gives all their money to charity

I like the way you allways post the articles which are bound to cause an uproar, then the second post is allways yours saying how disgraceful it is.

Do you like, go round looking for articles that will stir things up or what? :S

I had noticed this a while ago but just gave the benefit of the doubt that it was just a coincidence he was posting several negative articles.

But no, it actually seems like he wants to cause some sort of uproar.
