Oprah Winfrey tops a list of the 30 most generous celebrities, compiled by The Giving Back Fund and published in the Sept. 14 issue of Parade.

The 54-year-old talk show host and media mogul gave out $50.2 million last year to causes including her foundation and Oprah's Angel Network.

Power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ranked sixth, with donations of $8.4 million in 2007. Among their interests: Pitt's charity Make It Right, which is helping to rebuild New Orleans.

Rounding out the top five: musician Herb Alpert with $13 million; Barbra Streisand with $11 million; Paul Newman with $10 million; and Mel Gibson with $9.9 million.

"Some stars set a bad example from time to time, so it's nice to celebrate those who are doing good work," Parade editor Janice Kaplan tells Us Weekly in its latest issue.

"We can't all give $50 million like Oprah, but she makes us understand that giving back matters," Kaplan adds.

Athletes Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan and hockey player Eric Lindros tied for seventh place, with donations of $5 million each last year.

    It just pisses me off that there are PLENTY of kids in need of home here in the USA. She did not NEED to go to another country to find a kid. THAT TELLS ME it was all publicity crap to get attention, not to actually help those kids. Plus, just ask Diane Keaton when her good deed turned around and screwed Woody (uck). What is wrong with these ignorant people? I can't stand a husband stealin

    U got damn idiot abortion should be up to the woman and no one else so abortions should not be illegal because there would be so many unwanted children in the world that we would see poverty at its worst. I am a woman with children and I have gotten pregnant on birth control some things just dont always work.
