He can't give away talent, so he gives lessons in work ethics: his Start Something program helps kids set and achieve goals. He opened a $25 million youth-ed facility in February.

Corrections

In our profile of Brad Pitt ("15 People Who Make America Great") we stated that Global Green USA has received more than 3,000 submissions for its sustainable-architecture competition. In fact, some 3,000 people pre-registered for the competition, but 126 design submissions were submitted. In our story about Pierre Omidyar, in the same article, we should have said that Omidyar donated millions of dollars to Grameen Foundation USA, not Grameen Bank. NEWSWEEK regrets the errors.
