Forbes said in a report on its website on Tuesday that Chan, who set up the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation, gave $64,000 to UNICEF to help tsunami victims in Asia in December 2004.
Chan recently also donated $100,000 to Chrysalis, a Los Angeles-based charity for the homeless. The other generous celebrities identified by Forbes are Bono, Winfrey, Jolie, Nicholas Cage, Sandra Bullock, Steven Spielberg, Celine Dion, Paul McCartney and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The 10 were not ranked. Among his latest charity works, the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation received a $20,000 donation from Tom Cruise that will fund 10 scholarships at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. (AP)"
