Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos awarded Eva $50 million on the evening, as part of his annual prize to individuals who make significant contributions to society.
Bill McRaven, a retired Navy admiral and former chancellor of the University of Texas System, also received $50 million.
Eva is set to focus on education and entrepreneurship in Latino communities through the Eva Longoria Foundation, which she founded in 2012.
The actress connects Latinos and Latinas in lower-income areas with peer mentors, and also has a start-up fund for Latino-owned small businesses.
Eva told CNN: ‘Of course, I am honored and thrilled personally, but I am even more excited about the impact I think we can have on this country through/by investing in the strength of the Latino community.
‘Latinos in the US are a rapidly growing group with extraordinary potential, but we disproportionately lack the infrastructure opportunity we need and I’m excited to invest in that opportunity.’
Before becoming one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, Eva worked part-time at a Wendy’s restaurant for three years to help earn money for her quinceañera.
She also earned her Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, before winning the title of Miss Corpus Christi USA.
