2. LeBron James

His impact through the LeBron James Family Foundation has helped countless children and young adults with education. He partnered with the University of Akron to provide a guaranteed four-year scholarship to the school for students in James’ “I Promise” program who qualify. The scholarship will cover tuition and the university’s general service fee, which is currently $9,500, for 1,100 students. That racks up to $41.8 million he’s going to spend for teens to get a higher education.
