Ben Affleck is one of Hollywood's most successful stars, and he has won multiple awards for his work as an actor, director, writer, and producer, but the 42-year-old's latest honour may take him a while getting used to.

The ECI is a grant-making initiative that strives to improve the lives of the Congolese people by providing aid and raising funds for the poverty-stricken nation.

"It's important for me to try my hand at philanthropy because I want to leave behind a record of someone who did more than just gobble up stuff for himself," Affleck shared during the night. "I realize a life lived just for yourself is not much of a life."
