What would you do with $45 million? If you’re Shakira, you’ll use it to help make the world a better place. She donated $40 million to help fix problems in Latin American areas devastated by earthquakes and other natural causes. Another $5 million is being used to help educated children in these countries.

You don’t know how much this impresses me. In an age where entertainers have more money than they’ll be able to use in a lifetime, Shakira is choosing to give a large chunk of her fortune towards helping those who need it most. Let this be a lesson to the Parises, Lindsays and Britneys of the world. The real role models give and do and think of others instead of going to clubs and posing for the cameras all night.

Rock on, Shakira.
