Federal tax filings for the Jolie Pitt Foundation were made public last week, and as expected, Brad and Angelina are definitely way better than you. This is in addition to being way better-looking than you, too. Just consider their return a big punch in your big fat metaphorical American gut, because I know that’s how they meant it. People magazine says

All told, they gave more than $8 million in donations in 2006, with Pitt putting in $4,402,317, and Jolie donating $4,123,613. These latest figures don’t include Brad’s Make It Right Foundation, [which] handed out [over $2 million], including:

  • $1 million to Doctors Without Borders
  • $1 million to the Global AIDS Alliance
  • $137,935 to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program
  • $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation
  • $100,000 to the Epidermolysis Bulloma Medical Research Foundation
  • $20,000 to an art park in Los Angeles
  • $5,000 to two orphanages that Jolie visited
  • In comparison, the only charitable donations I made in 2007 were to the Anheuser-Busch Corporation, and as I have since learned, those contributions are not technically tax deductible. Same goes for contributions to “All Naked All The Time dot Com” and “Mexico.” The IRS is not as philanthropic an institution as you might think.
