Justin Bieber Dropped $54K at the amfAR Gala
This year's star-studded amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France this past week, raised more than $35 million to help find a cure for AIDS.
Among guests, which included John Travolta, Jessica Chastain, Rosario Dawson and model Karolina Kurkova, was a very dapper Justin Bieber, who reportedly dropped $54K for the cause.
Highlights of the evening's auction hosted by Harvey Weinstein, included a 1967 Andy Warhol painting of Marilyn Monroe, a Picasso from 1968 and a special piece by Damien Hirst featuring a 10,000-year mammoth fossil in steel that went for a record $15 million.
In addition to the various works of art up for auction, Leonardo DiCaprio offered up a trip on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceshipTwo, which takes real people more than 76 miles about Earth's surface. The bidder, who has not been revealed, paid $1 million for the once-in-a-lifetime trip and joins the likes of real estate mogul Vasily Klyukin, who paid $1.5 million last year for the same trip with DiCaprio.
During the evening of huge pledges, one man reportedly offered up $54K, which Bieber decided to match on the spot. Guests were said to be shocked by the generous offer, but the 20-year-old singer said that he was inspired to do something good.
