2. Ellen DeGeneres

She’s known for being a fun and quirky television host who frequently goes out of her way to help a guest in need. She even did a parody of herself in a video with Jimmy Fallon on Jimmy Kimmel Live where they got into a “Nice Off” — with her being the winner. Since she first gained her celebrity status she has made efforts towards improving the lives of others, giving away an upwards of $50 million dollars of her own money just to her audience alone.

Perhaps, then, rather than being known for her huge donations to charities, she is known for the multitude of her kind gestures on a smaller level. Her humanitarian efforts are no less important though, as all of her acts made in kindness are never done in vein — and equally give hope to those who bear witness.
