Bono, Marion Cotillard, Jared Leto, Selena Gomez, Cara Delevingne, Robin Thicke, Julian Lennon and Joan Collins were among VIPs at the event, which included a live action conducted by Simon de Pury.
Bono and DiCaprio auctioned off their own guitar and Harley-Davidson motorcycle, respectively, while businessman Len Blavatnik bought a Damien Hirst sculpture for $6 million.
