Cristiano Ronaldo Tops the List of the 20 Most Charitable Athletes in the World

Say what you will about Cristiano Ronaldo, but no one can deny his generosity. 

The "Top 20 Athletes Gone Good" list named the Portuguese superstar the most charitable athlete on the planet, beating out the likes of John Cena (No. 2), Neymar (No. 5) and Maria Sharapova (No. 8).

Ronaldo once donated $83,000 to pay for a child's brain surgery and used $165,000 to fund a Portuguese cancer center, among a laundry list of good-guy gestures. 

Cena made it to No. 2 for his involvement in the Make-A-Wish foundation and Neymar No. 5 for helping FIFA's 11 Against Ebola campaign.
