She may be the Duchess of Poker but trailblazing Duke is also queenly when it comes to giving. With a fervent personal interest in human rights and developing nations, she has leveraged her success and celebrity to champion a huge number of global causes. In 2007 she co-founded Ante Up for Africa with Don Cheadle and Norman Epstein to raise money for a host of established non-profits benefitting African countries. She also used her time on the Celebrity Apprentice to raise more than $700,000 for Refugees International.
