Brangelina donated $9.2 million to charity last year

, Prev Next Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have their fair share of haters (well, Angelina certainly cops it) but you've got to hand it to this Hollywood power couple — they really do use their fame for good instead of evil.

The Hollywood Reporter somehow got a hold of the couple's tax returns from 2008 which show that Brad and Ange gave away a whopping $9.2 million (US $6.8 million) to charity last year. More than double what they donated the year before. And probably ten times what most celebrities give.

The Jolie-Pitt foundation made donations of $2 million to Global Health, $1 million to Human Rights Watch, $1 million to Brad's Make it Right Foundation, which has been building eco-friendly homes for Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans, $500,000 to the Armed Services YMCA of the U.S. Army, $50,000 to the Springfield, Missouri Public Schools (Brad's hometown), and roughly a million dollars to projects in Cambodia, their adopted son Maddox's place of birth.

Obscene wealth is rampant in Hollywood and Brad and Ange would have to be two of the top earners. Good on them for sharing it around.
