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.

    GaGa gave back a $million to hurricane Sandy victims in NYork right? Give her credit; it was a generous gesture from her because she didn't have to go that stretch in giving back.

    Taylor Swift has wowed me a lot by how much she donated to the country music foundation so aspiring young talents and prodigies can get the opportunity to go after their dreams and be apart of the music world whether as an instrumentalist or vocalist. I think Taylor knows that music brings love and unity as well as show creativity and she enjoys it so much she wants all the beautiful little kids to get a piece of that pie too and believe in the positive forces music can convey.. Taylor rocks

    dollar wise taylor tops this list but a lot of it is a good show and likely benefits the personality in ways other than through the charitable dollars.
    besides it's only money to them and they have soooooo much that they will never miss it.

    OK, 2012 I can see her with this and it is great.....but one person who has been giving his time to our military all over the world is Gary Sinise and his band......I would like to see him for his recognition to all he has done for them and their families....

    I would like to say "all of the above", but none of them sent me any money in 2012. I voted for Taylor, because she lives in Tennessee and I could be at her bank at any time! LOL ! Mayby they will all send me money in 2013?

    He donates millions every year, the tv show Celebrity Apprentice is entirely based on raising money for charity. Whether a person likes Trump or not, we shouldnt forget how charitable this guy is. He even built a park in NYC with his own money with his own crew, after the city itself failed to get it done.

    He is right, Trump is extremely generous , he gives all the time, and he doesn't blow a trumpet to brag about it!!!
