Ain't no party like a Leonardo DiCaprio party.

The A-listers came out to attend a charity event last night in St. Tropez, hosted by DiCaprio. 500 guests made turned out, including Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Jared Leto, Robin Thicke, and Marion Cotillard, to name just a few.

The event was held at the Domaine Bertaud Belieu winery and helped to raise $25 million dollars to benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which was established in 1998 to help save and preserve the environment.

This was the first gala the foundation has hosted, and given its success, more may well be on the horizon.

According to the foundation, money raised last night will go to benefit such projects as helping to protect the ocean, preserving rainforests, protecting endangered species, and providing clean drinking water to African nations.

Some of the funds were raised through a charity auction, where a signed Harley-Davidson with the signatures of DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Robert De Niro sold for over $673,000, while two walk-on roles in Leonardo's next movie were sold for a combined total of $2.4 million.

Guests at the event also were serenaded by Bono, who auctioned off a signed guitar, but not before performing "Stand By Me" with Julian Lennon by his side. Robin Thicke also took the stage to cap off the event.
