Angelababy has made it as the youngest person in China to be named into the charity chart.

In May 2015, Angelababy and hubby Huang Xiaoming were at the center of media coverage after their lavish, 200-million-RMB wedding dubbed as China's "wedding of the century." The event did not fail to attract criticisms as some lashed at the couple for spending so much on their wedding while many people in China are living below the poverty line. Soon, the couple started giving away money for a cause.

The 2016 Huron Charity Chart, which tracks the country's 100 most charitable individuals, ranked Angelababy and her husband at the 87th spot.

At 27 years old, this confers Angelababy the feat as the youngest person to ever make it to the chart for her benevolent work. Angelababy and Xiaoming donated a combined 16.85 million RMB to charitable causes in 2015.

In fact, the couple has been actively supporting causes that they feel most attached to. They have lent their time and shared their resources to support these causes for the past few years. Following their wedding, Xiaoming set up the "Guanai Baobei" foundation under Angelababy's name. Most of the charity's funds are donated to 527 deaf children in China.

In 2015 late, the couple went on a trip to Xiaoming's hometown, Qingdao to help the young and elderly.

In February this year, the lovebirds gave away 1 million RMB to help post-earthquake relief activities after an earthquake struck Tainan.
