Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated $6.8million for charity in 2008

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gave a whopping $6.8million to good causes in 2008.

Their Jolie-Pitt Foundation raised over $13million last year.

Of that figure, over half was handed out to various charities, according to a tax return obtained by the Hollywood Reporter.

Among the recipients were Global Health ($2million), Human Rights Watch ($1million) and Brad's Make it Right Foundation ($1million).

The donations made by Angelina, 33, and Brad, 45, last year were more than double the amount they allocated to charitable organisations in 2007.
