CNBC – Dolly Parton received $100 million from Jeff Bezos as part of his “Courage and Civility” award in recognition of what she’s done for charity over the years.

Dolly is no stranger to charity; in 1988 she created the Dollywood Foundation to help children in Tennessee “achieve educational success.” In 1995, she launched the Imagination Library, which sends books to kids under five years old on a monthly basis. Jeff Bezos also announced he’ll be donating the majority of his net worth.
