Jennifer Aniston stunned contestants on a US charity TV show by giving them $30,000 each. The former 'Friends' star appeared on 'Oprah's Big Give' - which is hosted by Oprah Winfrey and sees contestants competing to raise as much money as possible by getting the rich and famous to donate - and initially decided to award the seven competitors with $10,000 each. However, after hearing more about what they'd done, she tripled her contribution. She said: "That just felt too good. I personally would like to triple it. So we're going to go $30,000. Guys, thank you for doing this and inspiring everybody." Jennifer is the latest in a long line of stars to donate large amounts of money while appearing on Oprah's shows. Last month, Drew Barrymore gave away $1 million to the United Nations World Food Programme to help feed starving children in Africa. 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell then paid off the $162,000 mortgage of a family with a three-year-old daughter suffering from cancer.
