Acts of generosity by celebs with bad reputations – What makes a good person? It’s someone who selflessly gives without advertising it. Some give so they can share with others their good deeds; others give simply out of the kindness of their hearts. The following people represent the latter.

Sure, these folks are endlessly wealthy. But I’m willing to wager that all of them would’ve done the exact same thing—save the dollar amount—if they didn’t have millions watching their every move. It seems they did it because they wanted to, because it gave their beneficiaries a warmer life. You can learn a thing or two about these acts of casual generosity that utterly transformed the lives of those they helped. Because it’s not the riches that makes one’s life rich; it’s how you use it to better humanity.
10. T.I.
Rapper T.I. has been in and out of prison on convictions ranging from crack distribution to weapons charges. On paper, he’s a criminal; but in person, the guy is a saint. In 2010 he talked a man out of suicide.
T.I. was on his way to a video shoot when he learned that a man was about to jump from a 22-story building in Atlanta. “Something in me just said, ‘Man you gotta try and help. You gotta do whatever you can.’” He did the only thing he could—record a video message for the jumper: “Nothing is that bad. Nothing in life is worth taking your life,” T.I. said. “I’m here to help you. Please come down and talk to me.” It apparently worked, so the man immediately stepped down from the ledge and met with T.I. in the lobby. They spoke for a few minutes, and the man was later transported to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital.
A month prior, cops arrested him for ecstasy and marijuana possession.
But this is only the “Tip” of the iceberg when it comes to T.I.’s heroism. Singer of Creed Scott Stapp, had an encounter with him that changed his life forever. As the story goes, Stapp was in the midst of an awful drug binge. At a Miami hotel he began seeing visions of being locked in asylum and imagined voices telling him to jump from a 40-foot balcony. And he did. Said Stapp: “I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up—rapper T.I. He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life.” The musician suffered a fractured skull, broken hip, and a broken nose. So without T.I. being there, Stapp would probably be pushing daisies.
