Kind acts by celebrities often go unnoticed, so here are a few reminders.

1. David Beckham

This well-known athlete is also very generous. He left a $1,000 tip on a $100 bill at a pub in Los Angeles. That’s 10x the amount of the bill!

2. Naomi Campbell

This generous supermodel was having dinner with actress Cameron Diaz in London at Whisky Mist. Their waitress was given a $9,200 tip from Naomi. Wow!

3. Jay-Z

After a night of fun at Playroom in New York City. Jay-Z, the rap mogul, left the bottle server an $11,100 tip. Nice!

4. Johnny Depp

It was reported that Depp has eaten at Gibson, a Chicago steakhouse, quite frequently. On one rare occasion, the actor left the waiter a $4,000 tip on a $4,400 bill. Way to go, Johnny!

5. Taylor Swift

This singer-songwriter has a big voice and even bigger heart. She tipped $500 on an $800 bill at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant in Philadelphia. That’s more than a 60% tip. Good looking out, Taylor.

6. Shaquille O’ Neal

The retired NBA player revealed on Jimmy Kimmel that he left a $4,000 tip at a restaurant. Why that amount? Well, O’Neal asked the server how much he wanted to be tipped and the server replied $4,000. Round of applause for that server.

7. Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen was visiting her husband John Legend’s hometown in Centerville, Ohio and left the waitress at Outback a $1,000 tip. This supermodel is constantly spreading joy.

8. Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre, one of hip-hop’s pioneers, left a whopping $5,000 tip after having food and drinks at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood.

9. Amy Schumer

This rising actress formerly worked in the hospitality business. While Amy dined at Peter’s Clam Bar in New York City she dropped a $500 tip on a $49 bill. That means she paid for that meal over 10 times!

10. Mark Cuban

Post his team winning a championship game, this successful investor had a big celebration in Miami. He thanked the waiting staff at Fountainbleau for accommodating him with a tip of $20,000 on a bill of $110,000.

11. Ellen Degeneres

This story is different. Ellen saw online that this waitress paid for the meals of two soldiers that she was serving. The waitress did this due to the government being shut down at the time, which meant the soldiers were not currently being paid. Ellen invited the waitress to her TV show and wrote her a check for $10,027.50 and gave her a 50″ flatscreen. That’s great karma!
