Actress Nancy Cartwright, the voice behind cartoon character Bart Simpson, has been awarded Scientology's Patron Laureate Award after donating $10 million to the faith in 2007.
Cartwright's gift - almost two times her annual salary from The Simpsons - puts her top of a list of celebrity benefactors, who have handed over their hard-earned cash to the Church of Scientology. She gave even more than Tom
Cruise - who is reported to be the controversial religion's second-in-command - who has donated $5 million in the last four years.
According to Impact magazine, Kirstie Alley gave $5 million last year and has picked up the Diamond Meritorious Award.
Fellow followers John Travolta and Kelly Preston gave $1 million each and were awarded the Gold Meritorious Award, while Priscilla Presley was handed the Patron Award for a donation of $50,000.
The prizes were handed out at a top secret ceremony in Florida last summer, according to the publication.
