The USA has been the most generous in the last decade this doesn't include what we pay to protect others living in europe compared to what they pay to protect themselves.

I canceled my alarm service and put up two Pakistani flags and an Isis flag. Now my house is being watched by the FBI, the CIA, and NSA and I save $49.95 a month!
I guess if the US are number one then it must be some perverse manner of counting things like cheating, lying, stealing, bombing the crap out of other sovereign nations etc etc ?

Generocity is difficult to measure, we had some crisis a few years back and new Guinea donated a few million to us. Of course we donate hundreds of million to them each year directly and indirectly, we're a much bigger economy. But it was a very generous thing for them to do, and the sentiment was greatly appreciated.
And money changes things in two respects. Obviously more money than you know what to do with leads to a type of generous but more important is the anxiety to impress that you are a somebody. But this does not mean that the high "generosity" of the gulf is not built upon man's inhumanity to man. Guilt perhaps for all the Pakis they've exploited and killed.
And likewise Slavs are not a race of heartless monsters just because warmth and altruism are more intimate than public for them. The poor have always had a lower-profile, closely-knit and more intimate type of concern different to the aid for Africa and rich man's concern for how the stranger sees them. Dickens wrote about it.

The Netherlands, we give lots of money to poor countries in Africa each year by the government, but also trough a lot of lotteries etc.
Italians may not agree with me because the Netherlands (also with Gemany) held back economical help from the EU for Italy during this corona crisis, but there is a reason for that. Italy refused to follow the European rules about their finances, and wants the rich countries to pay for their misbehaviour, just like Greece did in the past). We are not that stupid. We're with only 17 million people, but we pay half the world.
