26. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is another great example for a woman who made herself from nothing, and now dedicates her resources to helping others who are in a similar situation. Over the past decade, she has made significant contributions to the Mexican and Latin-American communities, including launching a bilingual website aimed at raising awareness to the phenomenon of Mexican femicide.

The actress/singer together with her current husband Alex Rodriguez are working to make the world a better place. In 2017, the couple organized a fundraiser for the Puerto Rico Hurricane relief, One Voice: Somos Live! where they helped raise $26 million for the victims of the hurricane, including $1 million of her own money. On top of the significant donation, the couple visited the island after the hurricane to help the victims rehabilitate. If we could, we’d put all of these celebrities in the first place, but we can’t – and believe us, ranking these charitable acts is one of the hardest things we ever had to do!
