10. He Started a Charity After His Son Was Murdered

Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille, had five children, Erika, Erinn, Ennis, Ensa, and Evin. Tragically, his only son, Ennis, was murdered in 1997 at the age of 27. He stopped to help a stranger change a tire, and was shot dead during a robbery attempt. Cosby set up the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation for dyslexia in honor of his slain son, who struggled with the disorder.
