South
African-born actress Charlize Theron,34,
auctioned off a kiss for $140,000,
and the winning bidder was a woman.
Theron took part in a live auction
in a gala event for the charity OneXOne,
which is an organization committed
to helping children in developing
regions.
The actress was set to auction off
a trip to South Africa, which includes
meeting Nelson Mandela, World Cup
tickets, a safari.
The highest bid was $37,000, but Theron
decided to sweeten the deal by offering
a seven-second kiss to any male bidder
who would be willing to give $130,000
to the charity.
Surprisingly, a woman agreed to pay
the deal with a $140,000 bid, if Theron
would raise her offer to twenty seconds.
Theron is in a long-term relationship
with actor Stuart Townsend, 36. "My
boyfriend is not here tonight,"
she joked before a smooch that lasted
almost half a minute on stage. |
