Oprah's friend Tyler Perry has also been known to give. The director/producer/actor, who used to be homeless himself, now gives to several homeless charities and even built new houses for victims of Hurricane Katrina in a neighborhood called Perry Place. In April, the "Madea" creator rebuilt a home that had burned to the ground for an 88-year-old Atlanta woman after seeing a story about it on TV.
