Celebrity Scientology

The voice behind the cartoon character Bart Simpson is a Scientology supporter. Actress Nancy Cartwright donated $10 million to the group in 2007. That’s about twice her annual salary. In return, Cartwright’s been given Scientology's Patron Laureate Award. Here’s a rundown of other celebrity gifts given to the cult. Each member was given an award at a secret ceremony in Florida:

• Tom Cruise - $5 million (over the last four years)
