8. Angelina Jolie
A name that needs no introduction, this Hollywood stunners’ accomplishments on the screen apart from Taking Lives, Lara Croft, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and countless other appearances are matched in equal measure by her humanitarian endeavors. As Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Jolie has donated magnanimously to people in distress world over. Her array of adopted children is a mirror of that trait – Zahara Marley (Ethopia), Maddox Chivan (Cambodia) and Pax Thien (Vietnam). The 41-year old Jolie has a biological daughter from movie actor Brad Pitt named Shiloh Nouvel born in 2006. She also gave birth to a son, Knox Leon and a daughter, Vivienne Marcheline, on July 12, 2008. The first pictures of Knox and Vivienne were jointly sold to People and Hello! for a reported $14 million—the most expensive celebrity photographs ever taken, proceeds of which were donated to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Jolie’s beauty and sex appeal won her covers on magazines like Vogue, People,Vanity Fair, Esquire, FHM and Empire.
