Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio raised USD 45 million by throwing a star-studded fundraiser at St Tropez to support environmental awareness and research for climate change.
The A-list attendees included Bono, Chris Rock,
Mariah Carey,
Tobey Maguire,
Jonah Hill,
Naomi Campbell,
Bradley Cooper and
Edward Norton, reported Aceshowbiz.
Prince Albert of Monaco was feted with New World Leadership Award while Lana
Del Rey
, The Weeknd and
Andrea Bocelli
performed at the gala.
The guests had opportunity to bid for a week on set with
Martin Scorsese, a private game of Texas Hold 'Em with Norton and Hill, an evening with Carey, a lunch with
Margot Robbie as well as a Harley Davidson motorcycle and the 'Terminator: Genisys' skull from
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio, 41, auctioned his
Rolex
, the diamond cufflinks he wore when he won his Academy Award earlier this year and a seven-night stay at his property in Palm Springs.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit victims and survivors of the recent Nice attacks and the rest will go to the actor's foundation dedicated for environmental efforts.
Oscars with B'wood twist!
