With it being Christmas and the season of giving, there is only one name that comes to mind: JUSTIN BIEBER! The Biebs has had a busy winter, after wrapping up his My World Tour, he's beat allegations that he fathered a child and sold over 2 million copies of his Christmas Album "Under the Mistletoe". And to top it off, at the end of his Christmas TV special "Home for the Holidays" he presented a giant check for $500,000 to charity. The charity concert was held in Toronto by the Canadian Beiber, with the half-million benefiting the local "Children's Wish Foundation" (which is the Canadian version of the Make a Wish Foundation).

And with all the media attention Beiber gets for spending mad stacks on gifts for girlfriend Selena Gomez and his collection of luxury whips, such as his Batmobile-themed Cadillac, you'd think all he does is ball out all day. And being a international superstar at on 17 years old, you wouldn't expect much more that extravagant spending. But Beiber actually supports over 20 charities, often donates his own money and puts plenty of time effort into fund-raising.

He also donated a signed guitar to a food bank in Winnipeg, Canada in November, which raised $3,500. Another project he's investing in is a charity-based Facebook game, that will raise money for developing nations
