14. Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was named the most charitable sportsperson last year by Do Something on their Athletes Gone Good list. One of his most notable donations was the $6.5 million he donated to Nepal after they suffered a massive earthquake last year. He has also covered the cost of a 10-month-old’s brain surgery, which cost $83,000, and paid for a 9-year-old cancer patient’s medical expenses. He used his nearly $700,000 bonus and donated to different charities, and gave $165,000 to fund a cancer center in Portugal where his mother was treated. He said this of his donations: “My father always taught me that when you help other people, then God will give you double, and that’s what has really happened to me. When I have helped other people who are in need, God has helped me more.”
