Leo over the ‘moon’ at gala

LEONARDO DiCaprio couldn’t hide beneath his baseball cap while donating money at the first-ever Moonlight Gala at Casa Cipriani this week.

We hear that during the live auction, real estate developer Patrick Carroll got onstage to announce he would donate $1 million to benefit CARE for Special Children . . . if those in the audience at the swank event would join together to match it.

A spy told us crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, was the first to pony up $250,000. But “once the pot got to $900,000, Patrick upped the amount to $1.5 million, so people had to keep bidding,” said a witness.

After attendees jumped in to bid further, “Leonardo DiCaprio put in the remaining $50,000 needed.”

DiCaprio also won a Casa Cipriani Presidential Suite Staycation package during the live Sotheby’s auction for $30,000.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid, who was in the crowd, got in on the auction by offering up backstage access for two at an upcoming fashion week runway show, plus two runway seats and a look by her stylist, Mimi Cuttrell.

The biggest donation of the night, which raised $7 million, came from Megamoon Museum’s Michael Cayre and renowned artist and NFT entrepreneur Roy Nachum.

The museum, slated to open at 35 Church St. in 2023, will display digital art and NFTs.

Nightlife whiz Richie Akiva helped host the event and chairs included art dealer and DiCaprio buddy Helly Nahmad and investor Patrick Finnegan.

“Gossip Girl” star Evan Mock, Bo Dietl, and United Nations ambassador Paolo Zampolli also attended. But, of course, no NYC event would be complete without an appearance by party-hopping Mayor Eric Adams, who, we hear, swung by to give a speech before hitting up new eatery Veronika at Fotografiska later that night.
