Taylor Swift has been named the most charitable celebrity of 2012 by website DoSomething.org. Largely, this is due to her hugely generous donation of $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. She also became the youngest-ever recipient of the Robert. F Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award.
But who else has made a difference this year with their charitable efforts? Channing Tatum and Miley Cyrus both worked tirelessly for their chosen charities — the rainforest and dogs! And Selena Gomez worked at children's hospitals all over America as well as raising $200,000 at her annual UNICEF concert.
Apart from the DoSomething.org list, Charlie Sheen gave $75,000 toward the medical bills of a ten-year-old girl with cancer, and his donation was then bested by Stevie Wonder, who gave $100,000.
Hurricane Sandy also brought out a lot of charitable celebrities. Comedian Louis CK had to cancel a show, but he played two more to raise money for the relief effort. And Lady Gaga topped the list of Sandy celebrity donators by giving $1 million to the American Red Cross.

Staci Anne Hill 2012/12/27 07:57:57Taylor Swift+19She's extremely generous as is Selena Gomez. But I believe Taylor is just a teeny weeny bit more because...she's been alive longer? Idk I just feel like she's done a little bit more then Selena
No intention of offending anybody they are both my idols(:





















she literally lost her status as a billionaire giving money to charity
But the person who donated the most money in the 2000's is micheal Jackson. He donated over 20 billion dollars to charities all over the world. Now he deserves praise even if he already is on heaven.^.^
So Taylor you got my vote GO COUNTRY GURL!

fans themselves, he has become a legend in his own time, and, as such, has
gone to great lengths to take his responsibility for proper social stewardship,
