Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt don't just talk the talk: the couple forked over $8 million for their foundation in 2006, according to federal tax filings.
Jolie, 32, and Pitt, 44, supplied their joint foundation with over $4 million each. Half of their contribution came from the sale of their baby photos.
In 2006, the foundation donated about $2.4 million, including $1 million gifts to Doctors Without Borders (International Division) and the Global AIDS Alliance.
The foundation's other donations include: $137,935 to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program (Jolie gave birth to Shiloh in Namibia); $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation (Jolie played the widow of the slain journalist in A Mighty Heart); and $100,000 to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation, which is supported by other A-listers including Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
Pitt and Jolie, Us' Couple of the Year, have also backed the cause of rebuilding the gulf coast, where Pitt recently enlisted the aid of Bill Clinton for his Make It Right project.
Meanwhile Aniston, Pitt's ex, will appear on the season finale of Oprah's Big Give.
