The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation held a high-profile benefit in Saint-Tropez, featuring massive temporary structures and a significant environmental footprint from private jets and yachts. Attendees included high-net-worth individuals like Steven Saltzman, son of James Bond producer Henry Saltzman. The event highlights the contrast between celebrity environmental advocacy and the luxury logistics of elite charity galas.

One of the hosts recounts performing hosting duties at the annual Re-Surge Gala in San Francisco, a medical charity for children with cleft lips and burn wounds. The event raised nearly one million dollars and featured a joke about Kim Kardashian's wedding that resonated with the venture capitalist audience. A high-selling auction item included tickets to the American Idol finale.
