Kola with Jamie Foxx |
Nigerian oil, gas and aviation tycoon Kola
Aluko was among a host of billionaires at Leo DiCaprio’s star-studded birthday
bash. Multimillionaire businessman Aluko, a
co-founder of the Made In Africa Foundation who was recently seen lunching in
Paris with Naomi Campbell, was among a group of wealthy businessman at
DiCaprio’s 39th birthday party at Tao Downtown late Sunday night.
Big spenders who ordered bottle after
bottle of champagne at the bash included “The Wolf of Wall Street” producer
Joey McFarland and Texas businessman Nate Paul. Other billionaires there included Vladimir Doronin, Ron Burkle, Jho
Low and Vivi Nevo.
The actor raised more than $3 million on
the night for his charity the Leo DiCaprio Foundation by adding a hefty fee on
top of all the bottles, plus donations from his wealthy friends. Kanye West was
paid $100,000 by DiCaprio, personally, to perform.
A rep for Aluko denied he spent $1.5
million on champagne, but confirmed he would make a donation to Leo’s charity.
One guest told us, “The party was wild —
wall-to-wall models. There were probably 20 girls to every guy. Leo started the
night with a dinner in a private room and then joined the party around
midnight.
“Danny A, who hosted, would get on the
microphone and announce who placed the champagne order and for how much, . . .
then a train of 100 bottles would come out with sparklers and girls dressed in
burlesque [outfits].” Danny A is the guy who famously fell afoul of George
Clooney by “talking [bleep]” during a basketball game while on Leo’s team.
Our spy reports, “2 Chainz performed, then
Kanye surprised Leo and performed a full show of about 10 songs with DJ Jus-Ske
including ‘Clique’, ‘Good Life’, ‘Power’ and ‘All of the Lights.’ Kim
Kardashian was singing along.”
The guest added, “Leo and girlfriend Toni
Garrn were front-row for the entire performance, dancing and kissing.” Also
there: Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Benicio Del Toro, Ronnie Wood, Martin Scorsese,
Brandon Davis, Orlando Bloom, Tobey Maguire, Ed Norton, Q-Tip, Lukas Haas, Tony
Shafrazi and Busta Rhymes.
