Sharing threads with Angelina Jolie? Hot. Sharing a tee time with Morgan Freeman? Way hot!

A round of golf with the sonorous thesp sold for $49,000 earlier this month in an online auction benefiting hurricane relief victims, nearly five times as much as the winning bid for the sleek leather jacket Jolie wore in her new action flick, Wanted.

Her assassin's black zip-up from the film, which also stars Freeman, ultimately fetched $10,300.

The $2,722 per hole it's costing some philanthropic soul to hit the links with the Oscar-winning 71-year-old also includes a rainproof golf outfit and a set of spanking-new clubs, but still—it shows you can't underestimate the value of making small talk with a guy who's played God.

Not that he and Jolie were competing with each other.

All proceeds from their respective lots went toward the nonprofit Plan!t Now, which provides aid for those trying to get by in hurricane-damaged and storm-prone areas across North America.

Both lots also went for about 10 times their estimated value, not including celebrity essence.

But while the chance to get putting tips from Freeman or do your best leather-clad Angelina impression has passed, still on the block for a good cause at CharityFolks.com are an array of perks, including an up-close meeting with the Jonas Brothers, tickets to the So You Think You Can Dance finale and backstage passes to a Springsteen show.
