At the live auction, Monika Bacardi was the first to put her hands in her purse, paying 250,000 euros on a collection of framed portraits of figures including Andy Warhol, John Lennon and Elizabeth Taylor.

In total, just shy of 3 million euros was raised, somewhat down from the AmFar’s splashier event in Cannes, where this year more than $19 million was brought in.
Following the auction — and a three-course dinner — British singer Ellie Goulding hit the stage for a live set that included “Love Me Like You Do” and “Burn.” Among the event’s sponsors were Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival, Campari and movie app Picticular.
