Rihanna is certainly feeling the giving spirit this holiday season: She recently made a massive $1.75 million donation to Barbados' Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown in honor of her grandmother, Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite, who passed away earlier this summer following a lengthy battle with cancer.


The singer's love of her grandmother was well known to fans, with the star often speaking of her on Twitter.
When she took a turn for the worse earlier this year Rihanna jetted to New York to be at her bedside.
And following her death Rihanna posted a series of family photos in a tribute to Mrs Braithwaite.
